[Speed on the Water]

Only time will tell if electric boats have a place at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout in Central Missouri, but after last weekend, Torqeedo and Boating magazine made a case for it.

Not unless they make one a lot faster. That was brutal.

Thankfully it was the 3/4 mile course and not the 1 mile..….

Maybe you could get Jaguar to show up......

The Jaguar Vector V20E electric racing boat achieved an average speed of 88.61 miles per hour over two passes at England's Coniston Water, sight of numerous past water-speed record attempts, including one that took the life of famed British racer Donald Campbell. The record speed may not seem too impressive, but it's nearly 12 mph faster than the previous record, set in 2008, according to Williams.
