When those boats are running on a plane only one blade is in the water. The other blade is throwing water into the air.
The prop speeds are well over the 14000 rpm range.

Take it to the lake- "Problem Child" Top Fuel Hydro.
Take a look behind the scenes of what its like to pilot the world's fastest and quickest Top Fuel Hydro Drag Boat. The Eddie Knox Racing/Red Line Oil "Problem Child" does zero to 235 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds, makes 8,000 horsepower and pulls more G's than the space shuttle.

Bluebifd; The Afterlife.
Speed machine Bluebird K7 "died" more than fifty years ago. She and her pilot Donald Campbell were supposed to rest forever in darkness on the bed of a lake in Cumbria's Lake District. But Bluebird rose from the dead. Thanks to an audacious plan to find, raise and rebuild her she thrilled locals and tourists on the Isle of Bute in Scotland where she has been relaunched.

Bluebird K7 - Donald Campbell's Jet Hydroplane.
A short history of Donald Campbell's jet-powered hydroplane Bluebird K7, in which he broke the World Water Speed Record several times before his fatal accident in the same craft in 1967. *** This is an updated edit of my video "Bluebird K7 - A Short History" ***

Great bunch of articles, Mr. Meer. I really enjoyed it. I don't live that far from Lake Guntersville...I should have gone.

Put 10,000 Horsepower in Small Boat and This is What Happens.
The quickest accelerating boats on the planet. Top Fuel Drag Boats accelerate from 0 - 270 miles per hour (430 kilometres per hour) in just 3.5 seconds. They use a supercharged V8 engine running on nitro-methane fuel and produce 10,000 horsepower. The amazing photo of the red boat, Toxic Rocket, in the thumbnail was taken by Mark Sharley

Holy cow!!!! 
85 mph is fast enough for me - on land. On the water, I like to relax. I'll take a pontoon boat with an icebox full of cold drinks, a stereo, a propane grill, and soft comfy seats. Then I will sit, have a cold one, and catch a fish while listening to some classic rock, and grill a burger. I might even toss out the anchor, lay down, and take a nap...

I still like to watch them zipping across the water sometimes, As far as doing it myself anymore Have to agree with Fuddy and Spike on moving a little slower. But still feel like winds-of-change, when I see them running, and hear the roar of their engines, I say wow too.

2019 Desert Storm Poker Run - Lake Havasu
Previously unseen footage from the 2019 Desert Storm Poker Run in Lake Havasu as I strapped a few GoPro's to the chopper while I shot it for RiverDavesPlace.com. With this year's Desert Storm Poker Run and Shootout postponed until fall, I thought I would edit something up to hold us all over until September. Hope to see everyone at the street party!
