I have been 112 MPH on the water and that was way too scary, 242

I raced Drag Boats, running 242 in a 50' Offshore boat on a frog pond in a 6" chop isn't even comparable to what they see in the Ocean thus not making this eye-opening. Yes, there is potential for disaster as we saw at Lake Havasu trying to run offshore boats at ridiculous speeds.
a T/F Hydro runs 272 in a 1,000 ft and the boat is 20' long. Now that's something to think about.

Mine was on a 12'6 Hydrostream with 200 hp at 2am on the Great South Bay flat as glass

Doesn't make a lot of difference, the splat factor against water is right up there with retaining walls.
NFW would I want to do that ...
