I gave me mate my old speedo for his boat. its 13ft Fletcher arrow sport with a 80hp merc blue band. I handed it over, he took one look, then looked back at me and said "but it only goes upto 60mph..."
LOL

Dean21 · 03-07-2005, 05:55 PM

what speed you had of your boat MrRob?

MrRob · 03-07-2005, 06:48 PM

Ive had 50-55ish MPH out of a Merc 150hp black max with a 21p laser II at 6300rpm
I say 50-55ish as I had no speedo/GPS at the time but thats what I THINK is was Doing.
I havent had it in the water yet with the 225hp promax on but I think I should be in the region of 70-75'ISH' on a 23p Solas Scorpian at 6800rpm.
What kind of performance u get from your ring + setup?

MrRob · 03-07-2005, 07:49 PM

The Gel Coat is shagged out. I tried polish, polish with a buffer, wet and dry + polish, no good. The top deck is ****ed. Below this rubbing strip is isnt too bad and can be restored but I am gonna have Gav respray it for me over the winter.

The other one you are on about is a grey and red P21 ski boat owned by the same bloke who has 'The Edge' / 'Here on Business' and its 'the mutts nuts' rather than mutz nutz

Burty · 03-07-2005, 10:09 PM

here it is

JamesM · 03-07-2005, 10:31 PM

I don't know much about skiing but shouldn't they be using a longer line?

MrRob · 03-07-2005, 10:50 PM

I dont think he's even using a line, looks like he's just hanging on to the engine!
