Lake of the Ozarks is the kind of place where something Insta-worthy is almost always happening, whether it’s a sunset, a fast boat, or a waterfront selfie with friends.
The team at LakeExpo keeps their lens on the Lake all year long, and people can’t quit watching.
Here are some of the most viral videos from 2025.

#1. Darana Hybrid Hits 242, NBD
The boat formerly known as Spirit of Qatar — and the all-time Shootout record-holder — came back more than a decade after its stunning 244 mph run in 2014, and it grabbed the Top Gun title again.
Nobody on TikTok believed this was actually 224 mph… not that they’ve ever seen that kind of speed on the water.
