How fast have you been?

[Luvme4thamoney03]

No it was on the interstate, I only do 1/4 mile at track 10.88 @ 132 mph

 

[Luvme4thamoney03]

That actually looked like it could have been fun if they knew about it and prepared for the launch, I have friends that if they knew were that was they would rig something on the side to get there ski back up and do it again

Well I thought I was pretty fast at the senior prom but not near as fast as Betty Sue.

So I was doing my daily craigslist search and found this http://fortwayne.craigslist.org/boa/3665626541.html a 82 mph xp I have yet to call and hear a bunch of b.s.
Ive been 70mph on my gsxl. All it has is rossier stage 1 kit water was like glass and I was tucked down. O and it was oem speedo so maybe I was only going 63ish.

Thought this might apply

You're right Harry, it's getting pretty deep in here.

[Jetskigoodies]

I had a guy tell me his 96 polaris 750 went 85 stock. He must of been going off of his dreamometer

As I recall Lou, you scored the Prom Queen, so you must have been pretty durn fast.

I wonder what would happen if you could bring a handheld GPS as a carry on, & if it would pick up satellite signals to function.

It does, I took my Garmin V. Showed me 36 altitude. I was so confused. It was 36k. 36,000 feet and around 320 MPH.

I use the red double sided tape from hardware store to "stick" my etrex gps to the hull next to the choke/kill post.

btw,
GPS 61mph 96XP 951 got some work to do!
GPS 65mph 05RXP (71mph dreamometer) bone stock
90mph bullet bass boat w/ 307hp(dyno) racing mercury, would have went faster but the owner was screaming at me to slow down (whimp)
155mph ZX10 had more but I didn't...
180+knots Long Eze sweet plane!

 

[Jetskigoodies]

What is 180 knots converted to mph

 

[Jetskigoodies]

Nevermind here is the comversion formula

1 knot (kt) = 1.15077945 miles per hour (mph)

 

[Luvme4thamoney03]

Does anyone know about what kind of top speed the hx with stock 800 hits

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

Not that quick.

that's how i gps mine, i think it's pretty accurate, shows me about 53-55 for my 97 gsx and 43 for my spi

 

[LouDoo]

I have also used a GPS on my ski's and I have been surprised how accurate the speedometers actually are. The "lie-o-meters" are always on the high side but only 2-3 mph fast. The SeaDoo speedometers generally more accurate than boat speedo's.

Completely agree, I use one on my snowmobiles all the time. Crazy accurate. I also have a GPS watch that I use for running. The mile markers click off within a footstep or two of the same location.

 

[Ronsse610]

who cares, its just a number :rofl:

 

[andrewterri]

Up hill...both ways...in the snow...on a sunny day...with nothing but the stars to guide me

 

[Rosie2514]

60 according to the Dream-0-meter on a 900zxi . Too bad it fluctated with RPM. You could be at a standstill and punch it and be doing 50 in less then a second lol

back in 05-06 a modded GTXsc with 215 inards went 69.8 gps, that`s all she wrote with plenty of work, not bad for the day...
on the 08 modded GP1300R made it to 73.0 GPS and stopped there. Hull tuning was spot on for my style and waters I was riding in...
People that knew me from other forums, knew this to be true...

others had their watercraft really ripping well into the 80`s, but I didn`t need to go there...

the boat topped out at 51 thru 53 on several runs before the speedo wheel came apart, go figure right, but that was GPS`d with the garmin anyways...

 

[Seadoobuddy]

94.4MPH
