why do our speedometers read so high?
 

Mine in the 36 reads 100, but it will only do 70. Im thinking about a gps speedo, but a 0-80 instead of 0-100.

Why do they put them in so high? I would rather see one almost peg than go half way. maybe its cooler at the docks when people see you have a 100 mph speedo??

The cheapest way for them to reach 70 mph is to tweak the speedo's by 10-15 mph to the high side.

????????????????????

What are you talking about?

You misunderstood what was said....the face on the speedo goes to 100, but the boat only runs 70, so hence..no need for a speedo that can go up to 100 when the boat doesn't. Kinda like putting a 200mph speedo in a KIA

Not really sure why they do that. It may look more impressive, or maybe they think everyone is going to add a blower and need it.

Guess it boils down to personal choice, get what suits you best.

The hole was already there with the plastic cup holder. I just exchanged it with the billet holder. There is "NOT" one on the passenger side front and the wife does not like that.

you had better get out the hole saw and get to work. there is nothing worse than a mad cat.
