Although I agree with you - for some reason 50 mph on water feels like
100 on land.

Darn right, and the smaller the boat and the rougher the water, the
faster it feels.

During the week I took the RIB dinghy with the new Honda 20 out for a
spin on the river. It starts to get very light and squirrely on the
wave tops around 20 kts and you'd think you were doing at least 100.
Today I was out in the 27 ft Searay with much more chop and it was a
walk in the park.
