Top 10 fastest boats

How to tell at first glance that you are dealing with a speedster by boat? The answer is very simple. Their streamlined bodies are very reminiscent of cars "Formula 1". The same can be said about the inside of this high-speed Transport. With racing-style control panels, lowered windshields and shock-absorbing seats, the fast boats can easily reach speeds in excess of 100 km/h.

Such light and high-speed equipment is divided into two main groups: open-type boats and those with superstructures. The second type most often uses stationary engines. Open boats are usually equipped with outboard motors. Although today the picture is gradually changing, and outboard power units are beginning to be installed on most modern high-speed boats belonging to both types.

In order for a vessel to be eligible for competition, it is necessary to adhere to the standards of construction. Although there is a loophole that allows some special configurations that give certain speed advantages. One of the most famous representatives of this type of water transport can be considered the British "Blue Bird". It is capable of speeds up to 250 km/h. But there are other speedboats with decent performance. You can watch a selection of dozens of the best of them on the Fact Finding channel.
