Astonishing video captures a speedboat flying into the air at more than 200mph during a doomed attempt to break a speed record — then flipping over multiple times before slamming into a Nevada lake. The speedboat’s drivers — using the pseudonyms John Wayne and Clint Eastwood — were attempting to break the record of 206mph at Saturday’s 2025 Desert Storm Shootout boating event when their Skater 388 was filmed suddenly taking flight on Lake Havasu.

"It's a 388 skater and it's estimated at about 10,000 horsepower. So they came to Lake Havasu earlier in the week intending to break the record here for the desert storm shootout. That was their first pass of the day and when they went over, the radar picked them up at 200.1 mph," said Lee.
