Question Avast! Where away?

I am reading about a crowd-pleasing 37-foot Skater on Lake Winnipesaukee, at 125-MPH+. That would be faster, but there's no sign of your sighting. All I have is Skater undersides and a few debris fields. While I do have photos of Skaters, I presume you want one that's right-side up?

Maybe a Sonic located near my Winnipesaukee place is faster, with its three big outboards? It has a very distinct sound and—though relatively quiet and depending on ambient noises—can be heard from a mile or more away. (Pretty far for an outboard-powered vessel).

Could you provide a URL or ad# of your sighting?

Meaning, "Don't look for any successful speeding prosecutions for a year or two"?
