No Bullshit! How fast is your boat??
« on: January 19, 2007, 11:11:34 AM »
With GPS you jetboaters can tell how fast yer boat is know since I don't think any of them came with a speedo. Not that boat speedo's are worth a shit. We ran my buddies Baker Tunnel with Big block tunnel rams dual quads at 83mph. The Weed Wacka's fastest is 87mph.

I've read a couple of articles that state that it's nearly impossible to get a jet much faster than 65 mph (irregardless of HP) without major pump/hull work like a ride plate, shoe, stuffer grate and so on due to cavitation problems.

The article were probably written by pump builders looking for new clients. My old Bahner ran 82.7 with a bone stock Berekely, a Suburban short block, a set of 990's and a tunnel ram with 2 660's. No ride plate, no shoe, stock impeller in a heavy boat. All it takes is a good combo.

I'm sure hull design plays a part as well. A friend of mine has an Eliminator that had a decently built and fresh 460. It topped out at about 65.6 mph with more throttle left just wouldn't go any faster. Now it's got a (I keep forgetting) 510 Ford built to the roof , shoe, ride plate, stuffer, loader, droop, etc. but he wouldn't gps it last time we were out in it. ? . He just bought a second jet boat, a California Performance Gull Wing that supposedly did ? 118 ? mph a several years ago. It just needs a refreshining and I'm sure he will gps that one, without me in it.

Only hit the water one time?!!! :o So it is always on the trailer? ;D  I got "props" for all loud and fast boats. Scarest boat I have ever been in was a flat bottom V-drive with a ford 390 and just a single four barrel and man that thing was fast! I have never looked at 'em the same since. When ever I see  V-drives with Big Blocks and blowers that have to be way faster then that....Dude got some Cojonies if thats how you spell it??!!!
