Remember when 60 was fast

[eli]

never rode or had a 100 mph boat till 42 and all kids were gone 100 mph boats cost $$ today LOL

[RADER]

15 foot Hydro stream with the 150 straight six Merc.boat went just about 71 on fumes,one person.

[foxtrot722]

Had a 1979, 16 foot BAJA SS, 115 Johnson, home made ski tow bar, setup up for skiing, shade under 60 MPH, weren't many around that would out run it.

As a kid I thought GW invaders were the fastest things, later on in my 20's , a buddy takes me 129 in his skater. How my peception of speed has changed....

[delawarerick]

60 is still fast depending on the hull.

60 is still fast depending on the hull.

Heck, it is still plenty fast for me......

Started with a 35 mph pink Larson with a 80 dockbuster. Probably had more fun with that than any 0f them. Once I bought my first Hydrostream boating changed forever for me.

My first boat was a 15' 8" Biesmeyer with a 150 merc on back. Was pushing 70mph back in 1972.

[specboatops]

The smaller the boat the faster 60 can be....or at least feel like it. Growing up my Dad had a 15" G.W.Invader with a 110 Merc, it ran 65 ( on the speedo ) and was considered fast for the day ( early 70's) G.W. Invader also made that little 10 footer, a friend of my dads had one with a Merc 65 shorty on it and man you felt like you were doing ludicrous speed in that thing.

remember when fast was as fast as you could run?

My first hot boat was a 1968 Glastron jetflite with a 40 . Then repowered with a 55 Evinrude short shaft 15 inch. hot!!!

When I was a kid, the neighbours had a 14' tin boat with a 25 HP. Fastest boat around. I bought an 8' Hydroplane and then a 20 Chrysler. The used 20 Chrysler was way cheaper than a Merc or OMC. I wonder why.

Truthfully after a morning of towing skiiers and wakeboarders, not quite 50 mph feels very fast. That's WOT in my 16 Baja with the ski prop on the rev limiter.

60 is still fast. My Allison will go faster of course, but for me, 60 is fast.

Vic unsinkable and much faster than a kneel down hydro caring a load of pizza

There you go talking with your mouth full of soup again,that whaler of your was so waterlogged that explains why you think your Superboat boat is fastit all makes sense now

[vnemous]

I KNOW my superboat is fast King of the Pizza. Happy New Year

My first boat...not at all fancy lol. 3.5hp evinrude....



In the picture is my Dad's Chrysler Conquer...with a 140 Charger on it. I bet it went 45mph lol. Even when we got our Vking I bet it barely did 60...until we got into V6's then playtime was over lol.
