The NHMP and Media were mute on such a simple computation.
There is a much easier way to determine the boat's speed and it was done.

After the accident the boat was barged to Glendale and taken by truck to the Marine Patrol building on 106 in Belmont.

The engine computers leave a record so they were removed and examined. By looking at the engines RPM when the accident occurred they were able to very closely determine the boat speed at the time of the accident.
