The fastest boat in the world is the Spirit of Australia, also known as Ken Warby's boat. Ken Warby is an Australian boat builder and former motorboat racer who set the world water speed record in 1978.
The Spirit of Australia achieved a speed of 317.60 mph (511.11 km/h) on the Tumut River near the Blowering Dam in New South Wales, Australia, on October 8, 1978. Ken Warby piloted the boat himself during this record-breaking run.
The Spirit of Australia is a jet-powered hydroplane designed and built by Ken Warby himself. It features a unique design optimized for speed and stability on the water. The record set by the Spirit of Australia still stands today as the fastest speed ever recorded by a boat powered by a piston engine.
It's worth noting that there are other types of fast boats, such as hydrofoil boats and offshore powerboats, which achieve high speeds, but the record for the fastest speed on water is held by Ken Warby's Spirit of Australia.
