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 Photography.

12 Fastest Boats In The World




How many of you could say for sure which is the world’s fastest boat? Making a very fast boat is arguably even harder than making a fast car; you have the water and weather to worry about, and all the technology required to increase speed while keeping the ship afloat. The people who make them should get more recognition! Here are the fastest boats in the world!

15 Fastest Boats In The World



Sometimes you might want to take a dawdling leisurely cruise across the water. But other times? Other times you want to zip along as fast as you can, ripping those waves up, as the breeze TEARS through your hair. And, if you are going to do that, you are going to need the fasted boat that money can buy. Well if you are in the market for such a thing, you’ve come to the right place. Let us introduce you to some of the speediest little boats available. These are the fastest boats in the world!
 
Back in the day I considered myself quite good at water skiing. I envision my arms a half mile down the lake before I realized I hadn't moved an inch if I was behind one of those. That lake was glassy, so my thoughts did wander there.

On the right snow, in the right conditions, and when it operates perfectly, I can get my snow machine from zero to about 60 in about 3.5 seconds. But zero to 270 in 3.5 seconds, that must be a real thrill for the young and bold.

That's some kinda fast boats, isn't it? I too, loved to water ski, use to slalom ski behind bass boats, at 60 mph and boston whalers with two 235 Johnsons. Thought those were fast.:rolleyes:
That's some kinda quick snowmobile, you have there.👍

I could touch my shoulder on either side on a slalom, you couldn't see me almost for the water. But we practiced everyday, from dark to dark, all summer. :)

Sizzling Pro Ladies Slalom Final



The top 12 women slalom skiers head to head in boca laguna lake battling for the world championship title. It's hot, the competition is fierce. What's not like about any of the above.
 
Oh yeah, that'd be a fun ride.

I used to go to boat races at some lakes around here. But they ran lap on a course instead of drags. I love it.


The videos above have some awesome boats in them. A lot of these, are on lakes . 👍 One video is laps . 🙂

Not into speed since our fast cars days and never was into fast boats.But some of these boats do look 'exciting' long as I'm at the helm.:)MrMeer was great on ski,not me I'd fall backward or forward same with snow.But I was a better ball player.:thumbs:
