My current Triton would frequently hit 78 during initial break in. Once I loaded it down Iām lucky to get 73

Low to mid 70's on the water. My boat has reach 85 or so, but that has been behind me when I am towing it.

80-85 mph in my Dad's old Bullet on the Alabama River in the rain. We were trying to outrun a pretty bad storm. He told me to get in the floor and he put the motor cover over me and we took off. I was probably 10 years old at the time. Made it back to the truck just in time.

Basscat 82 MPH at night on Fork. I swear my cheeks have never puckered more. I think I left a pinch mark and possibly a brown spot on that leather!

89 in my old Triton TR-21 with a few enhancements to the 225 EFI.
105 in a friends Allison 2002
110 in a STV, backed out because I lost my nerve and it was my first time driving a tunnel hull.

A little over 70 in Rick Collis boat on a guide trip at Fork years ago. No way I would drive one that fast I could hardly see I would need a full visor or something but realistically I think 50 is more than enough on any lake.

88 from Hudson To Hernando Beach Fl - a distance of about 12 miles from marker to marker in a 30 foot "Predator" (twin 351 Cleveland powered cigarette). After thinking about all the flotsam out there I've seen over the years, concluded it was one of the dumbest things I've done. Far more safe:
