In all fairness, look at those 32'+ boats...a lot of them are running in the 200hp club or close to it. So 142 is semi safe..like us running 60-65. But the second reason there is no point having safery gear...you may live blowing over at 80-90mph...but not a chance blowing over at 140 your only hope is having a quick release automatic parachute strapped to your ass.lol even then you are still probably dead |

There aren't more than a handful of boats that run 200 but that doesn't make 140mph in a 32' boat a walk in the park if something goes a muck. Those two guys have a lot of experience in race boats (one of whom went swimming earlier this year  ) and should know better....at least it saves having to hire divers...

The onlything dumber then not wearing your gear is trying to justify it
