Ahh yes, the Jasper river run clips. Life beyond 90 mph in a bass boat.

Those are some extreme outboard motors.  They probably cost as much as my truck, my wifes car and my boat put together!

Been there, done that, and at 83 mph with everything out of my boat bass but my partner (and TM on the front), I was only running mid pack. Other than a several Allison's and Bullets, most of the boats making that 50 mile river run are not bass boats. A friend of mine's STV has gps'd 134 mph, but you don't see a trolling motor on the front deck.

Like cart7 said, speed is money. The more speed you want, the more money your gonna spend and unless your hull is designed for speed, it's wasted money because most hulls hit a wall. When you reach a certain point, bunches of horse power make very little gain in speed. I have a friend that spent over $2000 just to get his Bullet from 92 mph to 95 mph and had probably already spent twice that on his engine, props, jackplates and other setup items just getting it to 92 mph.
