I will stand by my statement at 85 mph its a good number if you run passed that you should be really happy . don't believe everything you hear many 90 plus mph boat have bine passed by an 85 mph boat . check the ct run when I ran the yellow p22 twice if it went 103 why did he loose it twice at 83 . again gopro put out the truth that's a fact sorry if I pissed anyone off.
Ok I been in 2 of them north of 90. The yellow one before p22 owned it and the baby blue one years ago.
Also it was a 280 merc
hpdi 250 not 300 big difference I feel
x. 3000

I didn't say 97 I didn't say 99 I said north of 90. And like rob said I'm not blind either. It's pretty easy to read a gps lol. Why does everyone have to be a liar if they post speeds that are faster than expected. I've also been in a certain black boat and let's just say it was still pullin hard at 90

That ain't even the worst of it. The owner prior to u (guess he didn't realize he was speaking to a knowledgable person) claimed 106 lol and got offended when I spit the cocktail out my mouth lol

Fact is this.....I know first hand gm250 can run his Progression and now after my recent Sunday run I know P22 can drive a progression well also.

Both can run at least 85 and ....maybe more.

.......it will be interesting on Oct 11th and I won't miss it.

Fishing motor...... against an X .....driven by 2 non-scaredy cats

Put a check in the mail I'll send a Powerhead that will do it no problem but it will need 91 octane knock sensors cut power if you run 87

there was a time when John owned the boat he was trying a lot of different things, one night joey would take it, one night I would take, different props every other day, John and I would run run it in the low 90's at will, I even remember the prop it was a 3 blade double cleaver, which he convinced joey to sell him, then the boat gets sold and the wheel has to get reinvented which is a natural progression of events when a boat changes hands, the picture is me eddie and john, we would run 2 or 3 days a week for hours but its true poor john would get it all the time, it was a topic of laughter between us, but on oct 11 at 830 I will be at tannor park and I will be willing to give it to anybody that wants to run from the bridge to the cut and let the go pros show the white motor in action,

I need the 10 bucks!!!
