    Propeller Speeds

    History of the Propeller-Driven Boat Speed Record

    Russ Wicks currently holds the World Straightaway Speed Record for propeller-driven boats. Wicks carved his name in the record books by driving the Miss Freei unlimited hydroplane to an average speed of 205.494 miles per hour on June 15, 2000 on Seattle's Lake Washington. Wicks has received the official documents from both the American Power Boat Association (APBA) and the Union International Motonautique (UIM) certifying the record.

    The record had not been broken in nearly four decades, back when Roy Duby driving the Miss U.S. set the benchmark of 200.419 miles per hour in 1962, at Lake Guntersville, Alabama.

    The last recent attempt ended in catastrophe in 1979 on Lake Washington, as Dean Chenoweth's Miss Budweiser became airborne and was virtually destroyed upon impact. Chenoweth was injured, but survived.

    Record Timeline

    70.86 mph
    The first official recorded record was set by Casey Baldwin driving the Hydrodome IV on September 9, 1919, at Beinn Bhreagh, Bras d'Or Lake in Nova Scotia, Canada.

    102.256 mph
    Gar Wood, at the wheel of the Miss America IX, was the first to break the 100 mile per hour mark back on March 20, 1931, at Indian Creek near Miami Beach, Florida.

    160.323 mph
    The famed Slo-Mo-Shun IV was the first to surpass 150 mph. Stanley Sayres, with his riding mechanic, drove to the record on June 26, 1950 on Lake Washington, in Seattle, Washington.

    178.497 mph
    Sayres again enters the record books with the Slo-Mo-Shun IV, on July 7, 1952. This time, however, Elmer Leninschmidt rides shotgun on Lake Washington's East Channel record run.

    187.627 mph
    The famed Hawaii Kai III sets a new world record on November 30, 1957 with Jack Regas behind the wheel. The run took place off of Lake Washington's Sand Point.

    192.001 mph
    Unlimited Hydroplane racing legend Bill Muncey pilots the Miss Thriftway to a new world record on February 16, 1960, on Lake Washington's East Channel.

    200.419 mph
    Roy Duby was the first to exceed 200 miles per hour in the Miss U.S. on April 17, 1962, on Lake Guttersville, Alabama. Duby would hold the record for 38 years.

    205.494 mph
    Russ Wicks driving the Miss Freei set a new world record for propeller-driven boats on June 15, 2000. The run was made on Seattle's Lake Washington off of Sand Point in Superior Racing's U-25 unlimited hydroplane.

    Time for a well over due project update, Ken, Dave & the Team have been making good progress on Spirit of Australia II, the Trailer has been built over the past year for the boat is now fully finished, the boat has the fuel system completed, the steering system is now completely finished, the Windshield is being formed at the moment,

    The Wiring for the engine and boat is now being done, then the boat will be prepared for it's finish paint work, this being one of the final tasks to be completed on SOA II

    Ken has made a visit to Blowering Dam, Tumut N.S.W to make arrangement's for Spirit of Australia II to work it's way up to speed via trial runs, the Dam is in perfect order, even though it's at 40% capacity, the length of the dam is still more than suitable for a World Water speed Record run,, The Local community of Tumut have provided a warm welcome for the team, and have arranged a Workshop for the team to set up a base to work from.
