I know some of you wonder why in the world would anybody want to go that fast in a boat of any kind. I feel the same way about guys that ride bulls, climb mountains, sky dive, noodle for catfish, handle live snakes, play chess, and a whole bunch of other things that people do for "fun." I've owned five bass rigs that would run in excess of 100 mph including an Allison bass boat that would hit 115. It is a challenge and a thrill to be behind the wheel of a vee bottom boat at triple digit speed. Is it a little CRAZY to do it? You bet it is, BUT I would bet that every single one of you that frequent the TFF do something that somebody else would think is completely insane. Don't be so close minded folks! One man's trash is another man's treasure. That what makes life interesting.  Does riding a Harley 921 miles in one day count as crazy ? How 'bout 10 states in 6 days ? GUILTY YES!!

Thanks Ken for the acknowledgement.  I've made over 8 rides of at least 3000 miles and the closest I've come to danger was less than a mile from my house. It's not where, it's when so stay alert and keep your filthy eyes on the road ( water ) ahead.
I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.
Conscience never acquits, it either accuses or excuses.

It's not where, it's when so stay alert and keep your filthy eyes on the road ( water ) ahead. I've owned three big road bikes all over 1100cc's. I'm done with them too. I rode one 27K miles in one year. It's kind of like playing Russian roulette though. It is not IF you will crash, It is WHEN you will crash. I would feel much safer in my old Allison at 115 than riding to Tom Thumb on my old Yamaha. But there again, it is all about perceptions. You could not pay me to get back on the street on a bike.

Catch more fish that way.
"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.
