For anyone who thinks that all electric boats are essentially just aquatic golf carts, well … think again. A Princeton University student team recently broke a world speed record for electric-powered boats, with an average speed of 114.2 mph (183.8 km/h).

      Thank you for the perspective! This really put it in perspective for me because I’ve seen those rc boats and thought “damn that’s fast” and then the guy driving it tells me it’s he’s cheapest one for like $120 he was going faster than bass boats in a 18 inch model. Mad respect for people who can control the really fast rc ones, let alone a full sized craft!
