Got in to the mid 70's with a buddy (his boat) on Lanier. I may have wet my pants.
Detail are a little fuzzy, but that may have also been the time he cracked the hull straight down the middle.

I heard a guy (Craven I think his name was) that used to fish pot tournaments on the upper end of lanier had a Allison Craft with a Merc off shore racing engine that would run 115 MPH???

I don't think I have for sure, but I have been at least 80, and I was riding. That was tooo fast for me. I think it may be different if I am the one driving. 115...Hmmm, I don't think I have ever drank enough booze to even attempt that..

My boat will run about 45 wide open and that's plenty enough for me. Never saw a fish swim that fast anyway. These lakes up here that are full of floating logs and stuff aren't where you want to be going 100 mph.

77 was the fastest I've done. That was more than enough. It's wierd, the engine noise goes away, and all you hear is wind...and your cheeks flap like a piece of cloth.
