Not bad for the old girl.... 3 in the boat, top down on a pretty nice and calm day.

Sweet!! I'm liking the carbon dash!! :thumbsup:
 
Crummy thing is ... speedo is broken. I've replaced the send unit, tested all the wires, still no dice. Not sure what's going on now...

I wonder if it's a problem I had with one of my tachs, the 4 pin connector on the back of the tach was the problem. I put a glob of solder on the pins to thicken the contact and have never had a problem since. Next time your out try moving the connector around on the back of your tach see if it kicks back in. Might not be the issue but worth tryin.
 
My 1995 sportster did 40.7 mph with me alone (175lbs) and 39.8 mph with one other person (225lbs) on the Hudson River...with bimini top up :) Didn't take a pic, but no sense in making this up...
 
I think it was saying 55mph on the speedometer.
(So 88kms...wow..so off? It must've not been at 55 then).

48mph

18'odd attempts to take a proper photo., and wifey finally came through hehe.

96 sporster, unloaded, pilot only.

Second time on water since completing troubleshooting mpem. The boat sat for two seasons before I bought it. Bombardier is really starting to impress me. :)

Average cruse speed with full boat, toys, and beverages is 30mph on chop.

Thought about heading down river for an extra 1-2mph, but thought this tributary close to my house would be more honest :P

That top pic is awesome!! Even your driveway shows up on the GPS map!!

Note the blue motorcycle icon, it is what I had to sell to get the boat. :) Looks funny on the water. Maybe some day I will be able to afford a marine GPS with real maps. :) Guess you can also see why I'm on here so much.

From the hurricane coming through all waterways are filled with logs and stuff. Not bringing the boat out now, hopefully next week though. :D Also it was in a river with at least a 5 MPH current.
 
Of all the topics I have ever started on a forum, this by far is the best. I like to see all the GPS screen shots and pictures, It's a new season keep 'em coming.
 
Hell yah great post!! I got some game boyz i can see this new rig of mine peelin in around 60s on glass will post pics! We need a big beer trophy to pass around to the champ as we all get faster boats!
 
63.9 MPH!!

Had the boat out for probably last time this year, just working the stabilizer through fuel system. Had the woman bring the gps to see what this boat can do. Bone stock speedster 200 wake. Medium chop ...
