I LOVE that boat! The first video is really cool - he's involved in a poker run and is passing the other boats with ease.

that is a pretty cool looking boat. it looks faster than 40kts.

Sweet!! Looks faster than 40kts to me too.

40kts = 46mph... which is pretty quick for a boat.

How fast do ya'all think it is going?

it looks like it goes about the same speed (45-50kts) as the 25' safe boat at the station.

When I listen to him talk, I hear the word "diesel" a few times. It must be the same for all languages. It was invented by a guy named Rudolph Diesel, so it makes sense.



Glad his name wasn't something else, or my dog would be named something else!
