The quickest accelerating boats on the planet. Top Fuel Drag Boats accelerate from 0 - 270 miles per hour (430 kilometres per hour) in just 3.5 seconds. They use a supercharged V8 engine running on nitro-methane fuel and produce 10,000 horsepower. The amazing photo of the red boat, Toxic Rocket, in the thumbnail was taken by Mark Sharley Photography.

    "TURN UP THE VOLUME" turns the volume down. Best choice of the day.
  • Whoever thought of dropping a 10000 HP engine into a toy boat was totally insane. In the best possible way!
  • @alishanmao
    full engine rebuild after each run? wow thats some expensive single run
  • @Lb.q2
    Sounds like an a10 warthog from that other video we all got recommended

    If you thought climbing back up the hill after every sledding run was tedious, imagine rebuilding an engine every single time you used it.
  • To people saying water is not solid, try wiping out on a slalom ski at about 70 MPH. I have bounced 4 or 5 times before I ever got wet.I have also come out of the water bleeding and never hit anything but water.
  • Am I the only one that thinks the boat racing is an extremely dangerous sport? Takes guts.
  • @sixpest
    789 people actually turned up the volume.

    I’ve been around cars and boats with a quarter of this horsepower, and it is kinda of scary. The way it rattles your chest being 20ft away in the pits is something I will never forget.
  • @davidtimms3201
    On land or water, the sensory assault of a 10,000 hp nitro engine is just exhilarating.

    Some guy in a quiet fishing hole somewhere relaxing until a couple of torpedoes go flying past him at 1,000mph.

    I love the sound when it makes the distinctive whining sound when it hits full throttle. Awesome video!
  • @newdefsys
    If you went back in time 100 years and told people there would be boats that go 250mph in the desert, would they believe you ?
  • @mase002
    good gravy. Sounds like the cannon of an A-10

    I'm most Amazed by the quality of engines and the way that they rebuild them it's just like watching drag racing on concrete only on water I've never been to one of those hydro boat races but I bet you those are pretty cool to watch
