As I understand it, during the investigation the MP asked Littlefield how fast he was going, Littlefield didn't know but knew about how many RPMs his engine was showing. The MP (according to Dunleavey who was asked about this on a shakedown cruise of the Mt Washington by someone on this board who then posted about it IIRC) then used Littlefield's boat with the same weight load on it as one factor in determining the speed.

Dunleavey also had to recreate the crash and examine at the damage to make his determination of speed as well.

So as was stated by the AG to the NH Supreme Court. It was Dunleavey's expert analysis of the crash that determined the speed. They didn't just "take his word for it".

Good enough for you?
