Ha Ha, I was waiting for someone to call me out.  My boat runs low70s with a tailwind and no gas  :wink:

Im not too familiar with these jet boats, i guess theres a pretty big variety of speeds.

So most of them a big blocks, and in stock trim, were talking between 50-70 ish?

70 mph that is impressive in that big of a boat  clap.gif

V-Drive , 555 Chevy on Corn Fuel . Top speed this year ???  .  Might break the spead limit if I am lucky ..

last year it did pretty good ,

Its a 502 EFI, I recently switched to a 27 pitch, but havent gpsd it yet.

Im looking forwrad to checking out some of yalls boats.  Either passing by me with a rooster tail, or while kicking back having a beer!

I figure i can make up for my lack of speed by cutting across the center of the lake, while you jet boaters have to stick to the smooth water, lmao

Ahh got no pics of the whole boat it will be at somerville this saturday, it looks like a Donzi 22 classic got 560hp pushing a 1500 lb boat with a prop, instead of a jet
there s a pic of the engine compartment in my albums in the gallery its kinda a sleeper

id also like to say that the sensation of speed is a lot different sitting in our boats rather than as sitting on some of these sleds, id almost compare it to a 25 mph difference in feeling, i felt like i was hauling ass in George's boat

 

[KONA77]

you were hauling ass  :smile16:
