How Many Over, How Many Under 100 MPH?
On the Surface Conditioning thread, there is a debate as to how many of us run over 100. Some seem to think most of us do, JWT (and I) think most don't.
Cast your vote--please answer either way, so we see a fair representation. Performance boats only, please. If you love hot boats but are currently running a family boat, don't respond.Last edited by Li'l Toy; 03-16-2012 at 11:26 PM. Reason: can't type

OK, I voted first. My best is 89.6, so I am the first No.

2 Vipers, HST, one Burgess. Have had others but they were sellers. Have a Vixen with a 150 xs but really don't need to try to push my luck there

Tried to edit my first post, but computer and I were fighting. To give credit where due, this idea came from johnboy88vegas on the Surface Conditioning thread, but he had trouble setting up the poll, as did I the first time I tried.

I bet most people are in the 80-90 mph range, but we sure do have lots of 100+ mph boats on the site.

Made it to 104.5 in my 21 Liberator with a 300X setup by Wildman. It's not something I do all the time ;>) It might have been more fun but my lake is SHORT!

I think it was also mentioned in the original discussion that these are gps speeds.
