Still have this video on VHS, but don't have a player to watch it on. Thanks for uploading. I first watched this in the early 90's when I bought my first 'Hot Boat', a 1989 Hydrostream Voyager XT. Still have the boat today, but haven't had her on the water in years. It's had a stock 3.0L Johnson on it, a VERY HOT 300 hp Johnson 3.0 L that made 297hp on pump gas... Ran 98mph , but not reliable. A 300 HP Evinrude 3.6L Looper, same speed 98mph... Got her running last year, but burned it up... Always loved fast on water, but it's a whole new level of commitment that most people would never understand. And at the speeds these guys are reaching... Well, I don't think I'd have guts to try it...
And, the winner in Top Fuel Hydro is...Hillbilly. C'mon up here and get your $12.49 trophy. This sport definitley attracts the competition B/C they do it for "The Love of Drag Boat Racing." Certainly NOT for the $$ MONEY $$!!!
Look how skinny everyone is. Bring back smoking and cocaine.. Sure they will kill you but at least you wont have to get burried in a piano crate when you die.

Haven't watched this 4 quite a while Lennie & Wayne .. enjoy 😅

Watched this many many times as a child....still get goosebumps !

Back when Hot Boaters were cool... now they're all just a bunch of egotistical small pp, fat-gut, Alcoholic Neanderthals.
Awesome. I’d love to see some of Gaylord Wethered driving Kenny Schmudlach's "Mr. Ken" BFH boats.
