Are those the boats that Top Fuel drag racer Eddie Hill used to race?

He used to say he switched to 300 MPH TF dragsters, because they were
"safer."

I've been away from boat racing for many years and not up on much of
what's been going on. I think Hill ran in Drag Boats if I'm not
mistaken. Formula 1 is a different category; not sure if he ran with
them. Either way, both categories are extremely fast and pushing 300
wouldn't surprise me one bit.
