142.92mph EXACTLY ? wow thats some hard core research.. And no i dought an F1 boat will hold a corner like that that tight, as a matter of fact i know it wont ive personally watch boat races and never have seen one make a 5ft turn like that thats a straight 90deg turn. Nothing at 150mph is gonna change directions 90out from what its course is That fast...

Guys.... that boat racing is called 'jet boat racing'. Is huge in New Zealand..... You can imagine the crashes they get when they miss a corner. Boats climbing the banks heading straight for spectators!
And the water is all of only a few feet deep. They can drive.

No doubt a boat CAN pull more G's than a car...
