Hard to believe, but the current record for fastest speed on the water was set by Ken Warby in the Spirit of Australia way back in October 8th of 1978. His speed was 317.596 mph.
After setting the world record of 276.33mph Donald Campbell in Bluebird K7, attempted to break the 300mph barrier in 1966. He reached a peak speed of 315mph on his first run, with over 320mph on his second run. Sadly however, he died after he crashed on this record breaking pass. This of course meant that it is unofficial.
