posted about Yamaha before i saw your Merc post. my friends tunnel with 250 Merc runs close to 100mph. so i purchased his his jet for cheap. more money, more speed. but like i said before, if it hauls - who cares. your boat is American - and i applaude your perfprmance. it's all about fun. right? and yes, i will spill some beer from time to time when a hot lady jumps in my lap! it's worth it. enjoy the water!
