Boat Hits 157 MPH at Charity Poker Run | Montpelier News

A 50-foot catamaran clocked at 157 mph during a charity poker run on the St. Lawrence River shattered both the 30 mph speed limit and the event’s own rules — leading to six violations, one arrest for reckless operation, and a ban from next year’s event. Though the team apologized and took full responsibility, organizers stressed safety is non-negotiable, especially near crowded waters. The event, supporting Make-A-Wish, remains a community-focused cause — and the team hopes to be welcomed back someday.
