yeah but the chopper's just a little rubber band powered Robinson, they're not terribly fast...but still, holy crap!! I thought 68 was fast on a little baja outlaw I got to drive several times. I got a ride in a skater once, at around 105-110, I never want to go that fast on the water again...I love speed, I love boating, I never got terribly excited about both. Likely because I know from wakeboarding how much water starts to hurt at 25+ mph! (not waterboarding, wakeboarding...it's much more challenging)

my friends got a brand new ploar kraft walleye boat with a 225 two stroke Yamaha V max. took a ride in it the other day. that thing is fast. we were doing about 65 but it started to rain so we had to slow down.
