Heh, I tried that once too.  I got Da Boat up to 90 going down a huge
hill before I realized that, based on the fact that the pitch of my motor
had risen to a point where only a dog could hear it, I must be turning
over 5,000 RPM which is a no-no without a counterweighted crank, and I
backed off.  Just wanted to peg the speedo so I could say, "I pegged the
speedo!".  You get the idea.
