POLL - Speed Limit

you finally named a GFBL that I agree with you on! 130 mph is way over the edge, and I don't want to share the lake with somebody going that fast, casually, either!

Though that's as much because it takes a really expert team to control a boat at that speed. I wouldn't mind seeing it do its thing as part of an organized event such as the antique hydroplane races, though!

Out of curiosity, what kind of boat is it?

Oh, by the way, it's not really all that easy to right a capsized sailboat and keep on going, either - take it from somebody that's spent a fair amount of time in the drink waiting for the race committee launch.
