I am a career sailor and I was wondering which speed boat helped you cover 50 kms in 30 mins!!! that makes it clock a 100KMPH. Please let us know so we too can enjoy a ride on this amazing speed boat which to the best of the industry's knowledge does NOT exist !!
cheers

Boss,
There are enough speed boats out there who can easily cover 100km in an hour.....

You could see many production and commercially available boats here....

For example entry lever Superboat's new 21-foot Millennium is capable of 70MPH itself. with no real turbo engines....

Yes - but rogi, you moron, I seriously doubt the USN or whoever would take a group of third-rate journos/fake artistic types on a superboat to the Nimitz..
Get a life a$$h@le..

actually it was parked 2km of shore. I dont know what the reporter is talking about, even then 30mins does sound pretty weird for a speed boat. May be he was high on something. hehe..

You are right, Karthik.

Either high on something or exaggerating like any average Indian raagoo/phekoo master!

Anything American dazzles these people! Sad!
