“capable” of 300mph. It’d probably lift and kill everyone in it, but at least you wouldn’t get caught alive with that dumptruck load of coke. ---

speaking of boats…I have a 19 ft Celebrity down at the Marina for the winter, but soon as it gets nice out I want to take it out. Anyone else have boats here?? we should get together and have a boat meet…lol, we can all tie off and hang out and drink. Maybe pick a concert night over at the chevy amphitheatre, you can hear them pretty good from the river. ---

just pick up a cheap beater truck, something that will just pull the boat. You could probably find one for like 400-500 dollars actually, I have a 2wd Honda Passport that you could use anytime, or the Dodge. I dont need to tow mine because its already at the Marina. ---

Yeah, the inflatable raft going 300mph doesn’t sound too realistic. And all that weight on the back of a boat that doesn’t have a solid hull? Cool idea, but I’m not sure how real it was. ---

There are no waves so 300+ is quit possible smoothly… No way that boat would run 300 mph, no matter how much hp it had. I’ve been on several high speed boats & the fastest that I went on one of them went was 110 mph. It was a $250,000 33’ Daytona Eliminator with twin 525 hp 502s w/EFI. It was a Catamrine designed for high speed. I have seen some 150 mph boats & they looked nothing like that glorified fishing boat. 100mph in a car is not all that fast, but 100 mph on water is FAST! I’m not sying 300 mph is unobtainable, just not on a raft.
