jet boat how fast?

[kcccsryan]

I recently purchased a 19ft spectra jet boat with a 460cid engine, what will be the approx top speed? There is no speedometer(usually not accurate anyway)

I would suggest you buy a depthfinder with the digital speed sensor, those are pretty accurate and log your distance traveled etc , I love them you can even figure out miles per gallon because of the mileage log, mine even tells me how fast the current is moving if im anchored in a place where the water is moving.

there you go everyone seems to have one of those now a days, damn it's rough to get old, im still trying to figure out how to dial down the center like the commercial suggests , after all it's a push button phone, I can't find the dial.
