Miss America X was 12 metres long, and was powered by four supercharged Packard aeroplane engines. On September 20, 1932, Wood drove his new monster-boat to 124.860 mph (200.943 km/h).

What was Henry Lauterbach's fastest boat and what was its averaged speed on a two-way straightaway run?

[oletyma]

Reckon Advance United a GP at 170 mph. Kent Hitchcock blew it over on an attempt to lift this mark. Being pedantic as a boat built from a frame kit by the Knights might have been faster!!
