135 km/h is 84 mph.

Since when did the yanks mess with kilometres? I would say that was 135 MPH.
2 X Supercharged Big Block Chevy's - 1,200 hp each (at least)
Yeah, buy it.

I reckon the driver was a wee bit too casual to be doing 135mph.

A couple of 225's on a cat gives 80mph+
Two 800hp-ish mercruisers on that cat would probably do 135mph I reckon...
Jonny Fuller/Dirk Diggler/Cookee would know best!

Without doubt!
Common numbers out there.
There are 200mph pleasure boats in FLA

135mph no problem - Gas Turbines are becoming almost common out there - the Poker Run boats are faster than the race boats because there are no horsepower limitations!

There are nowhere enough shiny dials and buttons on the boat 
Everybody knows at 135mph you are reading all that useful data!!!
