You can't get an accurate reading on speed in the river the current runs 4 to 8 knots and it sounds like it was in full swing Sunday. Jeff I will offer my services to go for an ocean run and I have a hand held god that records top speed so we will have proof.

god = GPS = lie detector! Hook this boat up to the lie detector Focker, then we'll know the truth. I bet Jeff doesnt take you up on your offer Frank. I would also bet we could get a crew at the OS ramp to welcome you guys back to the dock and see the results! IF IT READS 80 MPH or above, the first round is on ME.

Jeff might be able to hit that 83 if he knocked down that windshield a few inches..

Ill take frank out for that run!

I have no doubt Ill see 80 especially in salt

Salts faster. Reference the salton sea! Fastest place on earth to run a boat


As I stated that day only ran a best of 76 on the way up the river , head wind current etc

Back down near petzolds 81 mph sam near pratt

Just past essex not a boat in sight slight chop from wind saw 83

No doubt down river helped bit it was still 83!

Which way was justin running?

I think justins boat could hit 75 easy with the right weight trimmed out perfect conditions


I wont do it when pushed, so dobt be dicks thats when sh it goes wrong

But I dont mibd going out hanging out and making some bonzi runs if its all about having fun

If its about being di cks. Stay home

I have nothing to hide I told you azz chappers I only ran 76 on the way up so why the doubt?

I could care less it runs what it runs on any given day

If I cant trim it all the way out it wont run that number openly admitted that over and over but if I can without it getting squirrely it will deffinately run the number
