@enriquejim89 In this particular run it was going 34 m.p.h. (30 Knots) at the line against a 3-ish m.p.h. tide.

My diesel boat will get to 38mph for a bit then the exhaust insulation starts smoking at the turbo. Its 250hp and only 21 feet. Watching such a big boat going that fast is incredible. Totally impressive!

Nice video of the boat races

[@thebigmann25]

Still. That's incredible speed. My 18 ft really light ski boat has that power and goes like 45

[@thebigmann25]

These boats only have 225 hp?!

[@enriquejim89]

how fast is that boat???

[@flamedrag18]

if you install a high speed transmission, you'll get more speed, but less torque.

[@kbz1231]

diesel engines have low hp compared to torque output
