How fast have you been?

I think he means to carry it onto a plane while flying somewhere.

You is way off on this one Timmy. Ain't no ski gonna fit in the overhead compartment or under the seat so ya'll ain't bringing it onto a plane as a carry on, gonna have ta buy an extra ticket and put it in the seat beside ya.

Last time I flew we were around 300 mph I think.

Gotta prove it with GPS or it didn't happen!

on water? i've done 55-56 indicated on the xp, so probably 53 or so actual speed, but our 96 glastron gs205 would do 57-58 with a light fuel load and just me in it. course, i only weighed about a buck-twenty back then.

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.

The fastest I have ever been on a SeaDoo was 64 MPH on radar (we didn't have GPS in the 90's) which in itself doesn't seem like an impossible feat, but the special part about it was that it was 1993 when we did it and it was on a 91 SP.

It was a converted 580 snowmobile engine with RAVE, long before the 787 engine was available, had no rev limiter and a prop from a 93 XP. We built the boat to race in the IJSBA courses, but it was disqualified for obvious reasons. It also had the massive sponsons from a GTX, which made the boat turn at a rate that nearly tossed the rider. We were never sure about what RPMs it turned, but it was much higher than the mid 6000's the machine was used to.

It only ran on race fuel and it only logged 110 minutes of use before it overheated badly, melting the custom exhaust outlet and sinking at the boat launch. We pulled it out with a suburban until we could winch it on a trailer.

And wouldn't you know it? 2 years later the XP800 was available with RAVE.

No, it was not my idea, I cannot take credit for that part.

61.1 gps on 96xp perfect conditions, xo prop, usually it was around 58.6

73.2 gps on my yami gp1300r, perfect conditions daughter pulled 73.9, usually around 71.5

not quite sure how/when the gps kicks in max speed so maybe I only hit "top" for a hundred feet ?

been on two ski's that went faster, low 80's but I never pegged the throttle, i'll admit, i was pretty scared and backed off around 70 on dream meter. even on my yami i think its was my 4th ride before I decided to peg it, i'm a big wussy.

72mph on GPS on my new 2001 RX @ Lake Mead in 2003.

Hotter n the hubs of hell, had it been cooler, probably faster. Shocking to me for a stock ski and with my fat ass on it. My friend's RX DI went by me about 1-2mph faster
