That must be a typo, the speed limit is 45.

I want to see what that thing does at sea level in salt water.

Congrats Ben. It was good seeing you again. Can't wait for snowmobile season.

That's what I thought.Wow its amazing how fast those years are compared to the newer ones.The cuddy and just shere weight of the new ones really slow them down.Do you run with full interior when getting those numbers,or do you have a rear seat delete.

I do sometimes run without the back seat and with a hatch but I got that speed with a full interior.

Yes, Ben's is so much faster than mine. I might get another mph if I take the ****ter out of the cabin, haha.

[JohnR]

You'll go faster without those water brakes dragging you down.

Hope so John. But not counting on it. It's easy to take off the bottom plates to try it. We will find out in April or May.

[JohnR]

Keep us posted Bob.

What speeds are you seeing now as it is?What type of engine height are you running,prop,etc.Do you run with everything in the bow including cussions and all the mirrors?Mine look like a low rent porn movie could be filmed in it before I went to work on it.

In mid summer normally 77. Early spring and fall I see 80. Best one time 82. I'm rarely alone. Only run people at events so a couple times a season. That's why I never really cared much. I never got it light as I could taking everything out and low on fuel. I even have the porta potty in it. I run a Revolution 4 prop. 14 5/8 x 23 with 1.62 Sportmaster. It's been the fastest. Tried a Trophy, Bravo, Fury, and Chopper. The Chopper was the second fastest. The Rev 4 was done by BBlades and all others were stock.

I have a hydraulic jack. The gauge reads from 0 to 7. 2.5 is even with the pad and each number is .66 inches in height. I can run it up to 5 or so. Between 4 and 5 is best speed but handles best at around 2 or 3.

[aaronmt73]

Well I did some measuring im at 12"s back and I run about 3/8" below the pad.I did get a new speed with a 27 tempest today,however I need more prop I was spinning almost 6500.
