Months after ordering it, the boat arrived and it was hauled down to the Piscataqua River. The older man and an experienced Captain barreled down the river into the Atlantic and cranked it up to 100 MPH. After the ride, the boat was transported back to the marina on the lake.

Once back at the lake, the older man told the owner of the marina to sell it.

"Why?", asked the marina owner.

"My dream has always been to go 100MPH in a boat before I die. I've done that now, so sell it", said the boat's owner.

The marina owner replied, "Geez, if that's all you wanted, why didn't you let me know? I could have rented you a boat or arranged a ride somehow. Why did you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for a boat to use literally for about an hour???"

The old man said emphatically, "Because I can..."

He got taken! The craziest fastech 38 didn't get out of the low 90s. He won need another 200 plus a side to touch 100
