Really cool to watch these two STV’s rip past Needles Marina , up and down the river and into the gorge. Appeared they saw and glad they didn’t hit the wooden pole. Showed the arm chair 100+ mph club how it’s done!
They didn't show the GPS results of the speeds. Uneducated people don't know why boats speedometers as so inaccurate. If you think this blue STV did over a 100mph with a fishing motor and prop, trimmed up with its nose in the air, then you have no idea what you are talking about. That boat is capable, if it was doing 100+ mph with its nose that high in the air it would have blown over about a mile ago....
No one uses pitot tube speedometers on fast boats. We use gps speedometers. The speedo on the dash is an Elite gps speedo and it is clearly labeled as such. They store the highest speed until reset. The yellow boat has the same speedometer plus a rectangular gps next to it. It shows 104 mph in the video. 300 hp with a speedmaster gearcase and a surface piercing prop will push a tunnel boat that fast. I've done it. That angle of attack is how they run.
Jesus Christo... what were the damages from meeting a telephone pole like that???!!! Since the boat was still afloat and the engine was still attached, seems like he was was pretty lucky, considering. Oh, and your STV's are awesomely beautiful. That must be a thrill ride and a half. I have a Checkmate/250XS that runs in the mid 80's, plenty for me.. can't image going 30+mph faster than that, but it looks like fun!
peter schiller I don't think they wear helmets to protect the I think they only where them when they don't have a windshield so they don't get blured vision
Let em fly. !! Its good to see a video with out stupid music . Bravo !#!!
So stable at high speeds.. awesome sauce
Watching in 2020. Still a fantastic video.

STV WITH A 300XS AND BIG PROP IS KILLER 115 MPH EASY

They must be running on the Colorado River?
Who owns these boats now? Trying to find a used STV or Mirage. Both of these rigs look really good!
Full throttle powerboats
what props are you guys running and what size and pitch
I wouls also like to know .. nice..
What is that a 200 or 250 optimax fishing motor? Trim it up and fly it high, looks like a Lamborghini performs like a prius.
Hey you around. What's a 89 Nordic tunnel hull worth
Still have this boat?

Helmet ?

How does this have so few views?!
High performance boats with low performance engines and drivers make for some fake yet exhilarating videos lol.
were,s your vid sunshine?
This is from a guy who owns a Boston whaler
Never watch many boat races have you? Merc. Owns High Perf. Saying any different no matter what you prefer only makes you sound silly
