That is a fairly old video and they have that LOTO shootout every
year. Somebody may have beat that record by now.
When I was at LOTO with Teamsters Joint Council 65 in 1960 there was a
guy there who was competitive with a 16 foot aluminum cat and twin
Merc 85s. It topped out at 55-60
Now any swinging dick on a lake anywhere is likely to have a 250 or
300 on a 16' bass boat that goes 70-80.
BTW just how fast are those bass anyway? ;-)
