The Fastest Boat in the WORLD

Spirit of Australia #shorts #boat #racing #australia #mrbeast
In 1978 a boat by the name of Spirit of Australia set the record for fastest boat in the world. The boat was powered by a 6,000 horsepower jet engine designed by the help of the Australian Air Force to reach a speed of 317.6 miles per hour. The boat was piloted by Australian Ken Warby. The record still stands today.

He actually hit 345. 317 was the average of 2 runs.

[@tommccallan8802]

Correct!!!

[@myusername3689]

This thing needs a fuck ton of downforce to prevent flips

[@richardp.228]

The pilots brass balls keeps it down!

[@pauldean8638]

It needs a neutral force or it would pile drive itself into the water or flip .

[@karlr7088]

The record stands because it’s so dangerous to even attempt to break it

[@lilbossking4869]

lol makes sense

[@myusername3689]

In fact Guinness refuses to accept new record runs because of how dangerous it is.

[@Wilson82668]

Nobody ever mentions the poor skier. That guy held on until 223mph when he hit the water he evaporated and that's probably why nobody mentions him😀

The girl i ride with - i thought you said its only 600 hp😭😭

[@michaeldavid5770]

Whatttt bro I cringed so hard at 317 let alone 345,I didn’t even know that was physically possible I always thought boats would explode at that speed or something 😂😂 holy crap bruh

[@6._d._.a._.n_.9]

Why cringe?

[@theborg5981]

Well, if I remember correctly, most of the boats that have gotten close to its speed have fatally lost control and/or disintegrated

[@Kiisara18]

@@theborg5981I’m actually pretty sure that everyone who has attempted to beat the record to date has been killed. Water is far too unpredictable to go that fast. Anyone who even attempt this has to have balls of steel lol

[@theborg5981]

@@Kiisara18 there was actually a run in 2018 using The Spirit of Australia 2 that hit 314 kmh without incident

[@Kiisara18]

@@theborg5981 I actually did see that shortly after I commented bc I got curious afterwards lol was the second run also done by the Warby or his team?

This is the latest one boat

[@balf1111117373]

Crazy how this hasn’t been beating and the record was set so long ago

[@tommccallan8802]

Lee Taylor was on his way to smash the record in a boat called "Hustler" at lake Tahoe. He was well over the record at 348 mph on the 1st run ..the boat rolled and flipped..everybody who tried after Ken Warby ....killed

[@heftyind]

It's incredibly dangerous to reach these speeds on water. Water is never flat and always changing. 100% fatality rate on attempts to match or beat this record.

[@exxxtramost]

Because you fucking die if anything at all doesn't go optimally

[@k.r.99]

I wonder if it still counts, if the boat has stabilizers underneath that cut through the water and make it hover, but also touch the water with the stabilizers
