We used to river race up until the first crusts of ice formed on the river. Downside.....Trying to out run two of the local Cessena sea planes and getting too close. Not only does the planes prop grab water and add 100MPH to the droplet speed, when the water is 32-40° it plain out feels like someone is tossing nails at you....
Most insane dangerous thing I ever paticipated in....... Down hard on the hammer, catching the plane fast, and, sliding under the pontoons just about the time they got high enough for the boat to pass under....Now that I think of it, it reminded me of the time when dad and Bobby Switzer were in a Shooting Star with a 110 Merc on Pistakee Lake....There was this cabin cruiser that would drift toward, and pull taugh from an anchoring buoy...Bobby times the boat to pass when the cruiser is closest to the buoy so the gearcase would ride over the anchor rope....
Dad said that black rubber trim Switzercraft used could be seen smeared on the buoy at just about the hieght the boat would have been aired out at....
Heck Boat Monopoly sounds fun but ya gotta put some crazy death defying feats in there. Make one work, you get money. Fail at one and get anything from a crash and loose turns, to being carried out on a slab.....
