Samuel Gompers' Own Account of the Fight for the 8-Hour Day. My earliest impression of the meaning of the eight-hour day came to me in my first home in New York City.

It depends on the the boat and how it is set up.    Most race boats go 100mph +. However, speed boats usually go  upwards of about 60.    The term speed boat â¦ mostly refers to the design of the hull of  the boat, and its intended purpose(to go fast) not the speed.   The current record is 317.596 mph, set by the well-know Australian  racer, Ken Warby.ow, if you were to install hydrofoils (do a Google â¦ search) to the bow and transom area of the same boat, you could go upwards of 45 MPH +. Although not very common today, hydrofoils are currently used on Italian, and American navy battleships...crazy fast.
