88 mph in a Challenger bass boat back sometime in the mid 80's. Buster Dobbs, the builder, was at the helm. I remember that 70-80 was smooth as glass but past that it started to get dicey. I remember looking over at Buster and seeing the flesh on his face rippling like mad in the breeze. It was exciting but I don't think I ever want to go that fast again on the water.

Buster was building a boat to go for a speed record. Don't know if he ever got it though.
