I used to occasionally hit 115 mph in my Porsche while zipping along Jackson Highway to Sunday brunch at Rancho Murietta and, back in the day, I’d top out at 63 mph on the early morning water of Comanche Lake in my bass boat.. And I once had the privilege of taking a demonstration lap with Don Aronow on the Sacramento River when he was visiting the Sacramento Yacht Club during the Bridge-to-Bridge races.  I think we hit something over 100 mph. But 202 mph in open water? Would you find that enjoyable? Could you even see straight?

Apparently the Bacardi Silver Racing Team, part of the Nauti-Marine Offshore Racing Group from Budweiser, does. Their 36-foot offshore racing cat topped 202 mph setting a world record. Below is a video of The Today Show’s Matt Lauer taking her for a spin. Would I have killed for that opportunity? C’mon! Is the Pope Catholic?
