          I don't doubt it for a second... I have E size Estes rocket engines at my store that will do this no sweat... But this ain't a boat! This is to boats, what jet powered cars are to drag racing... It's just a novelty, but you have to admit, a very cool novelty...

            I don't doubt it for a second either, I've seen that run 105mph with a smaller motor on water that I wouldn't bother running a 2cell self-righting mono on, wish I had of seen it go faster on a calm day but its still the fastest model boat that I have seen. You may have big rockets in your store that will do it no sweat, but I bet you would have to put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into several hulls before you got one that would do it on water, I know I would. It may not fit your definition of a boat but it is definitely a very well designed 3 point outrigger hydroplane.

              To bad they don't have an actual gps reading or a speed gun to prove the speeds with the water rocket

                  I never get tired of watching this Wayne... so amazing...
                  even more amazing is that he built the boat himself in his garage... he also bought the turbine from a surplus place for very little money.
                  From what I understand he was going to build another one, can anyone confirm or deny this info?

                    He built another one and moved to US ( or other way around chronologically, I dunno ) but never had enough sponsorship to run her.
                    His website is now gone, so I cannot redirect.
                    He'd be near 70 now ...!

                    ask google for Ken Warby .. lotsa info.

                    added:
                    Ken Warby (born 9 May 1939) ... makes him 71.

                    shares his birthday with another Australian legend.. me ! ( but Im a bit younger )
