| Wouldn't let me vote. |
|

| Canada Jeff |
| I voted 71 to 80. Before I put it away for the season, I seen 71 on gps on flat water. So I feel better voting 71 to 80 rather than 61 to 70! |
|
|
| 1boatnut |
Tail wind,going with the current.1/2 tank of fuel,1 person,empty cooler,80 degrees,humidity 75 % & porta potty left on shore....
It depends on who's boat is pulling me !!:D |
|
|
| DonMan |
| You should note: GPS speeds only. If I was to use speedo reading, I could jump up a catagory. I`ll be honest though! |
|
|
| mosi |
| I have told more than one person... You want your boat to go faster? See that little thing on the back of your boat hanging down in the water? It is connected to the speedo and if you make the hole a little bigger you will see your speed go up. Many a boater has gone off wide eyed and smiling with the anticipation of more speed. It must be true, my speedo said so!!! ;) |

|
| Top Elimn8r |
| The poll should be how fast is your boat on GPS, seems some manufactures speedos make it look like your in Warp drive |

In the course of talking with boat owners I have noticed that their boats get approximately 10 MPH faster for each 6 pack consumed. :D :D I guess that it must be really HEAVY beer. :D OF course we are only talking dock racing here. :rolleyes: |

| My Powerplay has a tough time doing 501 My first mate calls me a fast boat wanna be. At least I have a little company according to the survey. Maybe the new prop from laster will helh. |
|
|
| Jerry G. |
| Ok so the powerplay won't do 501; How about 50 MPH with a tailwind! |
|
|
| eMotiondriver |
| 109mph the beginning of the season that the best we got after tweaking some thing we only saw 97-100.. Boy I was pissed till we finaly noticed the fix mount GPS went to defualt mode and was reading KNOTS.. You do the math. Needless to say I was:D |
|

| 104.5 mph., with my drag prop, will see what the GPS unit says come April!!! |

| 93 MPH last season with 496 BBC and procharger M3. This year predicts 120 -130 MPH with Quad Rotor Whipplecharged 540. Built by Marine Assault Custom Engines, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. |

Thats going to be one hell of a ride that motor looks so sweet. Did you up grade your drive?? |

| Have not upgraded yet but looking to go with a B-Max. Will get a few runs on it before the upgrade. |
|
|
| Tommyerieoffshore |
My boat with the old prop does 50 last year (that was with a cut hose and water spraying into the intake).....(LONG STORY).............
So i am hoping to get 55-58 this year with it actaully burning fuel instead of water....
I tell boaters the truth when they ask how fast. And when non-boaters ask you have to lie cause they think 80 is slow. |
|
|
| Well Done |
Hey Tommy.......I can appreciate the truth. Ya know everybody's boat always went tripple digit speeds until the GPS. One thing about the truth, ya don't have to remember who you told what to!!!
I hope you get the 58 this season. You might try speed coat on the bottom. Just might pick up a mPh or 2. |
|
|
| Tommyerieoffshore |
Hey well done. Might have to try that. Every little thing adds up in the end. 1 here and 2 there equals 3 at the end. Is that you boat in you profile picture? If it is what kind and dam thats sweet.
I also have a 18p prop thining about upgrading to a 20 or 21 that should make a differnce. i am new to baoting i don't really know anything about it yet. The information i do know i think i s dangerous. HEH
well catch you later.... |

| The boat in the profile is mine. It is a custom built, modified Eliminator 23 foot tunnel. New engine is a big block chevrolet 540 cubic inch quad rotor whipple supercharged blown gas motor. Will go to the dyno next weekend most likley and hoping for 1100 HP. Engine builder is Ron Munson at Marine Assault Custom Engines. You can see the entire build project on the www.Havasubarney.com web site. Under small and Big block performance by infomaniac. |

I just bought another boat on eBay that I will pick up this weekend. I bought a 19ft Tahati with a 455 and a jacuzzi jet drive. Present owners claims 74 on the radar gun with 3 people in the boat not using the 200hp NOS shot under the 850 holley double pumper. Any one out there with much experience with this type of boat? I always wanted one to play with so I bought myself one for Christmas! ( I'm so good to me! LOL )
eBay #2448614518 if anyone cares to look and comment.
Happy Hoildays To all you speedwake.com folks.

Don't worry. That's 50 mph faster than alot of boats. I only top out around 59. If I have my bimini top propped up I lose about 4 mph. |

Well according to the GPS 144 knots, but I know that the boat has never got more than 48.

Those Yamaha jet boats are speed limited. I owed a Exciter 270 and a friend owed one like yours. Both stock ran 58 mph on gps. I machined a pair of bushings for the jet nozzles that kicked it up about 5 degree's. Without touching the motor (other then turning down the oil pump), got 65 mph. Loved chasing down those pesky waverunners. Sure fooled a bunch of them when I blew by them. If your interesed in how to correctly measure the oil pump volume setting, PM me. |

Good to see there is another euro here. I am guessing the same ball park with a 260 ROS I am putting on the back this week. low 90's now with a modified 200.
Edit Dec, 2005- 103mph with a 260 and hit the rev limiter like a wall. Getting a new EFI box in the next couple of weeks that should give me a bunch more mph. |

| bellofello |
| Not slower than rough water..... your prop is always in the water, instead of it coming out then re-entering all the time. Of courese a lil chop is needed to take advantage of the stepped hulls but not so much that the drive is constantly out. |

Ummm...That is a new one... I am not talking five foot sees... I guess it depends on what your definition of flat water is. Glass calm water is/will always be slower the a 1-2 foot chop... |
|
|
| bellofello |
| yeah I know that like painting flat water is slower because of the increased drag. When I say rough I mean huge water lol. I agree with you. I meant slight chop. |
