Don Ferrette's 107 mph SAW twin

[emil321123]

it is fast and all, but does it shine?

[galaxything]

its not 75 or 80 mph, look at it, imagine that a car going past at that distance from you its about 40 mph

[ryanrummler]

@galaxything Aaaaannnndddd you, sir are an idiot

[galaxything]

@ryanrummler I think u will find ur the idiot! unless that boat is 8 - 10 ft long (yet appears that small due to it's distance from the camera) it is not doing 107 mp more like 40 - 50mph. It's like filming a tiny model aircraft the size of a pin head at 2mph and saying its doing 500mph.

mabye 80, Ive ran SAW since the 1970s, I know. Fix the clocks or get your maths right.

[BelieveIt67]

@JohnnyAckgpl2006 where you from? 2.279 seconds to go 330ft = 98.73mph....

[JohnnyAckgpl2006]

I ran rc boats and straightaway since the 1970s, that speed was way off. Lucky to be 80. Fix your clubs clocks

Very Cool Indeed Don , if you had any turns....we could say you got those readings in the turns....J / K

[peterm8133]

yeh sounds great both engines seem to be tuned the same great boat !

[craftyltd]

I dont care how fast it was going!!! She sounded awesome and i think you can squeeze alittle more out of her too!!!

[johnnyboypdq]

Sounds like it is running rich!!

[chuntcorey]

sweet!!!

[mattyoz0]

170kph my ass! Go and stand by a freeway with cars doing 110kph they look faster then that.

[XxX44SMITH55XxX]

its about 75 mph

[FyreFox94]

bull shit, to the guy above.

[realzero1994]

nice boat man !!!

[Z9BB]

I think It is about 80mph

[dferrette]

Ah yes, armchair quarterbacks who weren't there posting their silly comments. That particular pass was the first one to break the record as you can hear the CD say "back it up". Ackerman maybe you're slipping in your old age, that was right at 100 but we'll blame it on the slow frame rate in the video. We continued upping the record throughout the day with multiple 104 -107 passes and a best of 109.8. The boat still has plenty more to give so next SAW outing we'll punch the record well over 110.

[scruffynorseman]

kinda hard to guesstimate speed on something that small, especially over youtube. How fast do your boats go?

[JohnnyAckgpl2006]

I used to do straightaway, that looked like about 90 maybe

[vindex101]

i am thinking not 107mph
