BTW, when I looked at the profile pic of your boat I thought there was something strange attached to the bimini until I realized there was a basketball hoop in the background. Made me smile for a minute or two.
Don, I think it's a guy thing more than an age related thing. It's like opening your car or truck up on a deserted stretch of highway. We like to do it occasionally because we can, not because we're trying to accomplish anything.
I'll admit I find it exhilarating, even at my age (upper 60's) but at 65gph, I don't let that overcome me very often.

Let's here more about that blowover?06 240da 5000rpm 38mph.
78 18' Motion, stretched to 21', 360hp 2.4 Bridgeport Mercury Racing outboard....122mph...destroyed, blowover almost killed me.
Haha, showing off. Head wind, to much trim trying to throw a big roostertail to show off, for the people on the beach off Holiday Island in the Keys. 90mph, on the edge...I looked back at the motor, and when I looked back at the bow, all I could see was sky! Oh crap, this is gonna hurt! Boat launched out of the water and landed upside down with me in the boat. I never wore my racing life vest, except for that day. Saved my life. I don't remember what happened, I just remember popping my head out of the water and seeing my boats bow sticking out of the water. Then it disappeared. I got a couple of scrapes and bruises, but walked away lucky as hell.
I'm sitting here trying to figure out how to say great story without you thinking in making fun of you because I'm not but wow great story and I'm glad you walked away.
