Ok, I have to ask. What trans/rear gear ratio would allow him to run up to 100MPH in 1st gear???
I really don't know. I am assuming it was 2.7?. I assume it was a 727 trans also? Here is a link to see the boat:

The story I heard is the police used them for a while as patrol cars but were too fast on top end and could not stop.
