Sonic boom in water?

If you did, you would be on plane, traveling over the water for the most part, and leaving any remnant of a bow wave behind the boat. Any relation of this phenomena to a sonic or acoustical shock wave is only academic, since the speed of sound in water is about 5 times faster than air, so it isn't likely that there will ever be a watercraft moving at 3500mph. I believe Skipper claimed his Bayliner came close to that speed at WOT once while on the Sea of Cortez trying to outrun a giant Tostito. ;-) Skipper *is* a giant Tostito! Come on, Don. I know you can do better than that! Dan |
