That’s interesting. I was wondering how they overcame the high drag of water.
Race boats with a couple 1000 hp motors and less than 10% of the hull actually in the water at speed have a hard time consistently break’n 200 MPH, so I didn’t think it was something that just making more thrust was gonna overcome.
