I would have loved a ride in that water rocket. I grew up in New York State n worked at a boat marine in which I started rebuilding boat engines at age 14 ( until I was 28) and couldn’t wait to break in a new build). Fastest I Ever went on The water was 78 mph in a jet boat and main was it loud .

Yes, we used to hike up to Surprise Lake in the 1970’ n 80’ all the time ( I think it is called the Surprise LakeLoop. And back then you barely met anyone on the trail

I clocked 111mph in 11 seconds in the quarter. That was the third time I raced it.
Probably went faster as I became better with the boat. It's kind of like a buffer, that is after you spend enough time behind the wheel you can make it dance on the water.

111 mph is Incredibly fast on the water. . I can remember looking down at the floor and watching it flex up n down as I drove while my boss was next to the engine listening for any mis fires. My buddy on the shore said we really didn’t have much boat in the water as we zoomed past him. Some things you never forget

My memory betrays me, but that is not the boat that took your leg, is it Mike?
