Actually he was talking about an offshore catamaran.

It appears some of them actually do go that fast.

Shocked me for sure.

Rick said it was because of reduced contact with the water and the fact that air gets under the hull and provides lift.

I wonder if the bassholes will ever use cats?

I don't think Ken said that speed was in a bass boat.

Maybe a racing boat. :)

Arneson has now reached 175 mph piloting the fastest offshore racing boat in the world. His own 46-ft. Skater is a new generation catamaran powered by a 4500 hp Lycoming gas turbine similar to that giving flight to a U. S. Army Chinook helicopter.
