So, I was looking at boats offered on this site,
Came across this interesting offering!
No stove, but a few mods anyway!
A 2000, 26X boat, in very nice condition....but?
Check out those impressive speeds obtained via a Honda 50!
Billy and his 140 HP Suzuki should take note! He should be doing like 70MPH, up there with the Formula class boats!

This thing cruises faster than my top speed, and nearly 30 MPH top end, I'll trade up!

26 kts * 1.15077945 mph/kt = 29.9202657mph.
Must be the white bottom wax or does it go downhill.

Well, let's see. If you put this Mac on the Sailing Puzzle River, pointed down stream, with a 5mph current-----That would just about be right. Unless you take into account wind resistance and such.

He's not exactly lying...It will not go over 26 kn so I suppose that is as good a max speed as any.

My top speed is almost 60mph...of course it's on the trailer at that point!
