All depends what you want to do. My 21 footer with 300hp runs 95mph. Try
that with a jet boat drive.
I don't know what type/model of boats they were, but two years ago the
Harbor Master in Lake Quinsigamond (Shrewsbury/Worcester, MA) arrested
two jet boat drivers clocked at 105 mph on radar.

If I remember correctly, the picture of the boats put them in the
18/20 foot category easily.
How did he catch 'em?

Wasn't hard. While Qinsig is 4 miles long, it's only 150 yards wide
at it's widest point - there are only two launch ramps, one is
inaccessible to boats of this type and the other is at the far end of
the lake towards I-290.

Awfully fast for a little lake.
My first boating memory is watching my father race his "utility" hydro
on Lake Zoar in Connecticut, a fairly small lake, though larger than
four miles long, and on the river just below the dam there. I think it
was called the Indian River or Indian something or other. Anyway, there
was another first that day. Afterwards everyone went to some Italian
joint on the lake and I had my first slice of pizza. Wow.

I was five or six at the time.
