What is the speed record for a wooden boat?

The speed record for a wooden boat is an impressive 200.943 mph (323.99 km/h). This record was set by the famous wooden hydroplane boat Miss America IX in 1932, piloted by Gar Wood.

Wooden speedboats like Miss America IX were crafted for both speed and endurance, showcasing the incredible engineering and craftsmanship of wooden boat design.

Although modern boats often use different materials for higher speeds, wooden boats continue to be admired for their blend of traditional craftsmanship and impressive performance on the water.
