Lets look at the Yamaha 150 VMAX SHO Evinrude G2 150 HO and Mercury 150 Pro XS.

Fastest boat horsepower. Despite the growing size of offshore fishing boats on the water today increases in diesel engine technology have enabled engines to generate as much as 2600 hp allowing bigger boats to access speeds in excess of 45 knots to reach the fishing grounds faster than ever. The quickest accelerating boats on the planet. Shaft horsepower is to be the actual uncorrected engine horsepower less drive train losses.

This phenomenon called prop riding further reduced drag. Ken Warby set the world record of. 10 - 13.

Doing the opposite calculation taking 300 divided by 5000 gives you a result of 006 horsepower per pound. Top Fuel Drag Boats accelerate from 0 - 270 miles per hour 430 kilometres per hour in just 35 seconds. Both are exceptionally fast.

Since we cant test ourselves it will be interesting to see the different setups different props and how fast some of these boats are going. The water speed record was recorded on October 08 1978 at Blowering Dam in New South Wales Australia. Problem Child Problem Child may be an understatement for the fastest nitro drag boat in the world that boasts an incredible 8000 HP and can reach speeds of 262 MPH in just 35 seconds.

Allison XB-2002 Bass Boat holds the fastest bass boat record globally owing majorly to its lightweight yet highly efficient construction. There is going fast and there is going crazy fast these three speed boats very much fit in the latter category. On 26 June 1950 Slo-Mo-Shun IV improved on Campbells record by 29 kmh 18 mph.

Powered by an Allison V-1710 aircraft engine the boat was built by Seattle Chrysler dealer Stanley Sayres and was able to run 260 kmh 160 mph because her hull was designed to lift the top of the propeller out of water when running at high speed. 8 - 9. The current fastest boat is the Spirit of Australia.
