What\'s WOT

Reading an American Powerboat magazine recently I kept coming across references to WOT, as in

" The cold molded Sculley 60 toys with 43MPH at WOT"

I'm thinking it's not Wind Over Tide? But maybe I'm wrong - Any ideas?

<<austin healey >>

My 3000 was the only car to burn my legs in everyday use. Brilliant in winter, though! Yet another of those things that should never have been sold (like the TR6, Frogeye, Stratos)
