The Beast speedboat was New York's only jet-powered, thrill-ride speedboat attraction when it was unleashed in the summer of 2011. Don't be fooled—the Beast isn't just a monster on the surface. Equipped with 1400 BHP-horsepower with two ZF 3000 marine gears and powered by two Hamilton Jet impellers, the new Beast rockets through the water with the ability to reach heart-pounding speeds of up to 40 knots (about 45 mph).
