Found an article that led me to the owner, boat was just built for the guys launch party for his vodka brand good boy vodka, believe he donates some of the money to dog charity, anyway it’s a 48’ mti catamaran with twin 1550hp merc turbo motors probably runs in the 170mph range topped out

unless they changed the tuning on them they make 1350 on 87 octane, 1550 is either 93 or e85 I can’t remember,I think the 1650’s were e85

IDK, this is just what I was going off of...

The 1550 dual calibration sterndrive features an advanced control system which enables the operator to switch engine power level via an electronic key fob. The Race key fob turns the engine into a pure bred race machine – pumping out one thousand five hundred and fifty horsepower on 112 AKI race fuel. The Pleasure key fob is selected when a more leisure ride is in order, creating 1350 h.p. on 91 octane (98 RON) fuel. Both fuel calibrations provide maximum torque and efficiency and are designed to optimize the engine performance at each power level.

Soooooo, knowing nothing about boats, one thing that would terrify me would be crossing the wake of that boat when it just passed me going 150+ while I was going 100+.

Valid concern? Because the dude drove right in to the wake, had to have crossed it less than a second after the vid shut off
Dude you go like a million miles an hour on a crotch rocket on a road course.

This would be fucking awesome.
