    As much as I would love to agree that they are lying, 90kph is quite achievable in most boats I saw today. The app for iPhone to GPS speed check is also free.

    Our boat hasn't got anything on the V8 LVB boats and also the boat that crashed was a LS powered sprint hull, we cruise at 50-52kph at 3,000RPM and have run out of room/courage at 96KPH.

    Personally I love a 70s era Hamilton but these big powered, little light boats seem to be the thing now. Maybe you haven't been on the river in a while even over the last 12 months I've noticed a huge increase in jet dinghies/shorter alloy hulls up the Ngaruroro.
