I knew the boat wasn't going to be a threat. Even 60 mph is increadably fast in a boat. Trying for 150 mph in a boat is almost suicidal.

A formula 1 car against a basically tricked out, slightly stretched, street bike with a slick isn't much of a race either. Put a tricked out street car against the bike or use a full out drag bike against the race car for a more even match. A Pro Stock Bike or top fuel Harley would have beaten the F1 car every time.

The boat had no chance with the outboard. It needed a inboard SC SBC or something.
