344 deaths in 2004 where the speed was unknown. Perhaps those boats were going so fast their speed could not be estimated.

Or perhaps their speed was irrelevant.
Lets assume for a moment that high speeds make it harder to estimate speed based on impact damage (they don't, common sense kinda prevails here); do you really believe the USCG would investigate a high speed accident and report nothing more than "speed unknown" if speed was so high that it could not be estimated? C'mon, that's quite a reach.
