What is the difference between a white water kayak and other kayaks?

white water kayaks tend to be a bit shorter than other boats (excluding play boats (very short)) they may have more padding and seat straps to keep you more secure, and better foot rests as you put a lot of force on them when paddling white water. "white water spec" normally means better foot rests and seats. "creek" boats, for bigger white water (also called Large Volume (lots of water!)) will sometimes be more bolbus behind the paddler, this means the boat will have more volume and will want to float more when it gets pushed under water, this also give more room for storage (first aid, rescue kit etc)

How fast can a 75 HP motor go?

There is no direct correlation between horse power and speed. That is to say you can't put an exact number because of all the other variables. I have seen a car with about 75 hp do well over 150 mph and my farm tractor with 72 hp only has a top speed of 30 mph. There is an old saying "how fast something will go depends on how much money you want to spend".

What is the Olympic record for the men's 1000m Canoe Double?

There is some dispute over open water events since water currents and wind can drastically affect the results. As such, the Olympics do not hold up such results as "official" records so much as recorded results. The fastest time ever clocked at an Olympic competition for the men's 1000m Canoe Double was at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics when Andreas Dittmer and Gunar Kirchbach of Germany took the gold with a time of 3:31.9. Perhaps there are faster times recorded in the heats, but those would take some digging to go through. The world record is only around 3 seconds faster than the time above, so this is probably the fastest seen at the Olympics.
