I'm reasonably sure that the "Top Gun" model with base engines (two x 700 HP) will break 100 MPH. They might be overkill, but they are not rare on Winnipesaukee and generally don't turn my head.

The most impressive and rare "modern" production boat I have ever seen on the lake was a Hinckley Picnic Boat or Talaria 40 I saw on Friday. Those are really nice, absurdly priced, and I have never seen one on the lake before. Turned my head. Those just ooze elegance and craftsmanship.
