Crazy to think in 1978 Ken Warby built a boat in his backyard in Australia and went 317mph, and the record still stands today. Anyone who goes of 200mph is insane.

And the water speed record sure as heck is a daredevil's game. From Wikipedia: "Of the thirteen people who have attempted the record since June 1930 seven have died. There has been two official attempts to beat Ken Warby's 1978 record, and both resulted in the death of the pilot; Lee Taylor (1980) and Craig Arfons (1989)."

That is in forward. The rear of the ship throws wake, and the front of most boats but especially most racing boats is a pointed bow or catamaran hull. Not many boats can go that fast in reverse gear, the motors are geared to go a lot slower than 200+mph in reverse. If you did that in reverse and turned, the boat would flip
