These boats are wild... and also dangerous. That's why nobody has broken the world record set back in 1978. But it’s our obsession with speed that pushes us to build faster cars, planes, and boats. And I'm fascinated by the engineering behind that - so I’m actually working on a longer episode all about how the world’s fastest boats go so fast.
