Tomlinson's My Way Shatters Shootout Record with 224-MPH Run

On the second run of the morning on the second day of the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout, Bill Tomlinson and Ken Kehoe didn't just break the Shootout top-speed record—209 mph, which they tied on Saturday afternoon—they annihilated it with a mind-blowing 224-mph pass in My Way, a 50-foot Mystic Powerboats catamaran with twin Lycoming T-55 turbine engines.

In good spirits after putting the boat back on the trailer, Tomlinson sat down with speedonthewater.com to discuss the record-setting run, which he and Kehoe followed up with a 216-mph run.

"We knew we were capable of it, we just didn't want to say too much about it before we ran," said Tomlinson, who is from Manatec, Ontario in Canada. "The boat can do more—it was pulling as fast when we came across the finish line as it was at 60 or 70 mph. It was running really well and it was very hot out today. The heat hurts us a little bit, but there's still so much power there. At idle speed we have around 200 hp and at 100 percent we have 3,000 hp more or less. We were running about 110 percent, so we were running pretty strong.  More; Tomlinson's My Way Shatters Shootout Record with 224-MPH Run
