I have watched a few TV programs on the drag boats. Pretty damn impressive. They explode out of the hole. I have seen some pretty crazy crashes and or accidents. Guys falling out of the boat etc. Pretty amazing.
I had a 22 foot DONZI boat years ago with a Keith Black 492 Hemi in it. I bought it out of a divorce, got a hell of a deal. It was absolutely wild. It was a jet so it only did about 85 m.ph. but it did that in about the length of the boat!! I had an incident once where we were out goofing around, I romped on it and the front passenger seat broke loose from the mounting bolts and my passinger went ass over tea kettle out the back of the boat. Knock the crap out of him as he tumbled over the engine etc.
I had to sell the damn thing. Had our first kid on the way and the damn thing was an absolute money pit! In those days we could run open headers and it sounded wonderful. Maybe part of reason for my hearing loss these days!!

Fuel boats "leave" harder than the fuel cars. The prop bites better than the tires do for the first hundred feet or so.

It is hard to beleive things don't break! And then on top of it the drag boats are or at least look totally out of control! My hat is off to the guys running them!
