Going fast in a boat requires extra attention to detail. The fastest I've ever gone in a boat is 116 mph. Most recreational boats have an open helm, so you can feel every bit of 50 mph (the boat-speed gold standard) on the water, while maintaining that speed in a car will get you honked at in the slow lane.
317.6
mph (511 km/h) was the fastest
boat speed ever recorded. It happened back in 1978 when a speedboat used a jet engine (instead of a propellor) to power the
boat.
Average Boat Speeds: Sailboat, Pontoon, & Cruiser.
| Type of boat | Average speed | Top speed |
|---|
| Pontoon | 15mph-30mph | 35 mph |
| Cruiser | 16mph-30mph | 50 mph |
Laser beams travel at the speed of light, more than 670 million miles per hour, making them the fastest thing in the universe. So how does a laser produce the slowest thing on Earth?
