How fast is your jet?

[XtrmWakeborder]

Alright since the v-drive guys had a thread for this i thought we might have one also..How fast is your jet.
1985 Daytona mini-daycruiser, 350, Berkeley jet, 53 mph "pump and motor have never been rebuilt..i think its about time lol"

[ORSpectra20]

:hammer2:Since aquiring my Specra 20 with a 460FE and Berkley JC jet it has reached a max speed of 0 MPH. LOL!!!! But I hope to place a 8,9 or 10 in front of that in the years to come.:hammer2:

this is where you count the speed that it has been towed on the trailer. Mine has the same top speed on the trailer and the water. Damn Chevy governer.

[ORSpectra20]

:D My ford is pulled around by a CHEVY. so the governer will hold it to a respectable level. :D

[1979tarva]

i had 40 on a worn out motor that would only turn 3000 rpm

[Heatseeker]

Not fast enough! :D

[BrendellaJet]

Mine has been to an estimated 60. No GPS, just raced my bro on his wave runner. With a few adjustments I pulled him a little, so maybe 62-63. When I get it put back together, Im hoping for 100+.

[ORSpectra20]

:clover: Here is a so stated 110 MPH jet listed on EBAY.

[JetRookie]

My uncles 21 foot carribean by Hardin w/ a 454 and berkley ran 65mph according to its speedometer, but I've heard the GPS is more accurate.

[dave186]

my boat has been to 110 before. thats when the limiter kicks in on my Lightning :shift:
seriously, it did 45 with a stock 460 and a trashed jacuzzi WJ. I just got done putting in the energizer pump and should have it on the water tommorow, im hoping for 50-55.

[Cheap Thrills]

Got mine up to arround 90+ just the other day !
it was still hooked to the back of the truck :D
I did run several jetskis while I had it off the trailer one was a fuel injected 1200 polaris 3 seater that decided he would catch my blindside and roost me as he went by , He never made it by me . When he saw that I was pullin him , the chicken $h1^ turned away and backed out :rolleyes: I will have the GPS with me on the next run then I'll know a number but as of right now , it's the fastest damn 16 footer I have ever ridden in , "Pure Adrenilin " :D
C.T. :wink:

[cave]

Can I join this trailer club? On the water, with the cyurrent good breeze behind me 60mph. On the trailer in traffic 90+ :D J/K bout the traffic part. In light traffic.

[Screemy1]

I was able to walk away from and make the driver cry that was on a turbo honda PWC... have know idea how fast they go though.... He started passing me on the right, and I let him go a bit.... then thought "what the hell" I smoked by him pretty fast and you could see the struggle and dissapointment on his face..... After I hit the no wake zone... he came up and said "wow. your fast, I thought these turbo Honda's were supposed to be the fastest thing around... thats what the dealer said". I have a 1978 Haskell with a 454BBC

[Jeanyus]

I bougt this 85 Bahner, 2 years ago, on e-bay. After working on it off and on for the past 2 years. I took it out 2 times, 2nd time I brought my new GPS. It runs a dissapointing 69.8. The engine had a slight miss, and I have not tried adjusting anything yet, shoe, rideplat, wedge, etc. But I think I could sqeeze another 5 mph out of it.

[revndave]

My boat will run about 90

[Hal]

Ya Dave as long as your Yukon does'nt give out. :D

[bordsmnj]

PHUUUUCK!
that boat has balls :2purples:
(no yukon jokes, Hal.) :messedup: :D

[Big Proppa]

Hey xtrmwakeborder check your PM's

[HotRod Sprint]

Well, I've had mine up to 90, but that was pulling it home from Cal. the day I bought it and without a motor no less :D On GPS, with 3 people in the boat and aprx. 30 gals. of fuel, I ran 70mph. Just can't wait to get that little blue bottle :idea: :2purples:
Rod

[PIONEERFUN]

My 19 pioneer will run 78.1 on a good day .

[HotDogz]

I sit in the boat and have the wife drive me up and down the highway @ 75mph just so I can see what it feels like. :rolleyes: But when she is not willing to amuse me, we can make 65 on GPS, less with chop, w/455 and Berk 12JC-B. The kids are looking for more speed. :D

[likeFATHERlikeSON3]

she will run a whimpy 81-82mph not bad, but i sure want to get more out of a Daytona :cry:

[QuickJet]

I got my BBC '79 Bahner to go 87 mph on GPS with a passenger. First 2 runs were 85mph. The last run was the best of 87 due to the smoother water. Should be alot faster when I bolt on the 8.71 Dyers and install the rideplate.
The boat has gone 101 behind my dually.

[sleekvino]

before i had any problems it ran 62.8 mph on gps with a 455 .60 over jc pump and diverter,750 performer manifold. :hammerhea

[EliminatorJet]

I ran 67.2 gps this weekend on a worn pump, poor carbing and carrying 26 gallons of fuel we'll see what happens when I work some kinks out though :D

[hot_rod]

In theory 100+ but I'm missing about 10-14 somewhere :messedup:

"How fast is your jet?"
Fast enough? :D
jer

[FoMoCo]

87.2MPH by myself. and 85.4 with 2 people!!! Gotta love them Squirt boats!!!

[copperrat20]

How fast is your jet? What kind of question is that. You know damn well that they all do 100! :D The old challenger did a clean 77 on gps. The hydro jet I am restoring came with a track sheet stating that it ran 102mph. I don't know the et. I doubt with me owning it that it will ever see 80. Well maybe on the trailer! :shift:

[Bryan Rose]

Best so far 82.1 mph on a perfect day................. :2purples:
but a consistant 80 no problem................... :shift:
once I squeeze it with a 150 shot of funny gas hopefully a little more, how much more I don't know? :hammerhea
Bryan

[copperrat20]

C'mon Bryan. You know that old impellar won't hold up to that! :boxingguy J/K! Did you run that thing again this last weekend?

[Challenged Pimp]

I'm running 43mph on the gps. But you know, the uhhhh secondaries aren't kicking in all the way..... yeah :messedup:
Acutally I stuffed a droop on last night and it seemed to help quite a bit. Adjusted the cav plates up too. Starting to get this big lug out of the water a bit. Gotta get some batteries for the GPS and see what she does now.... :D

[Bryan Rose]

C'mon Bryan. You know that old impellar won't hold up to that! :boxingguy J/K! Did you run that thing again this last weekend?
No .... :( had to work all weekend but now I am going to take tuesday and wednesday off to play at the lake.....
Do ya think I need a shoe.............................................. ...? :idea:

[Challenged Pimp]

Wow thats amazing how fast that boat is even with that same pump you have in those pics from your website? No PD or droop :idea: just think your boat may go over 150 with a few mods to the pump :sleeping:
He's in need of an update, he's got a Berk Droop and a manual place divertor. :D
Actually no wait, now I have a berk droop and divertor. :idea:

[MAXIMUS]

Fast enough to rip the lips off a chicken & be back in time for dinner! :notam:

[lucky]

[MAXIMUS]

Thats it??? :notam: You need more hp! Come on out to the west coast & she will fly! At least 125+! :devil: :D

[572Daytona]

Thats it??? :notam: You need more hp! Come on out to the west coast & she will fly! At least 125+! :devil: :D
Are you kidding?? 600HP is nothing out your way, I would be lucky to even get my boat on plane on the West Coast. It must be the air quality (or lack thereof) :skull: Maybe I can get more speed by tossing out all of my seats, it seems to work for the OB guys.

[djdtpr]

Not fast enough yet!!!!! :D

Ooohhhhh thats gotta hurt U.T. bob.... What will he doo??? :idea: :messedup:

[HotHallet]

78 even on GPS with just me and near full tanks. I think if I adjust the rideplate a little (pull some shims) and run it with half tanks I could see just a shade over 80.

21 Daytona, BIG Block Chevy, single 4 bbl, 87 octane regular gas, thru transom exhaust, 2 people, half tank of gas, temp mid 90s, speed mid 90s....... add the giggle gas (NOT the BIG jets), speedo only goes to 100 (and back around to the "0"), and tach only goes to 6000 (and hits the stop at 6300). Been working on the launch, OH BOY!!! I'll post pics...... or ask anyone whose seen the video. Built the motor myself, in my garage, in my back yard.....TIMINATOR

[LVjetboy]

"THAT'S A BUMMER HUH... Wait a minute I have not heard you make any claims..."
Just stiring the pot. If your's a 23 footer and 572's a 21 footer then apples to oranges.
My jet? 100 mph with 650 hp. Qualifiers:
Alt: 1200 ft
OAT: 80 F
Humidity: Low
Fuel: 1/2 tanks
No Pax
No anchor
No cooler
Only front stereo not back (100 lbs)
Mufflers installed...yup
Dock gas...yup
Did I hold throttle for long, try different trim, plate angles, etc...nope. Just long enough to capture this...
http://members.cox.net/lvjetboy/CenturyGPS.jpg
And I do make claims time to time...but most on this board have already heard them. So no doubt they're thinking... :sleeping:

Hey Scott.Where did you get your CP from??In your boat on the dash does it say NICE GUYS FINISH LAST???

[SCOTT]

YES....it used to but I rubbed it off............you know the boat? I got it from Gean Conway in LA. Kenny Lane use to race it.In the 80's it was called Racial riot.

[clownpuncher]

I can do an honest 45 with half tanks and my 8 year old daughter on board(GPS'd, don't doubt me) Thinking about changing nozzles to get another 10-15 MPH out of it :wink:

[CALIFORNIA PERFORMANCE]

Yeah thats my dads old boat.. He had it after the racial riot guys. When we had it it was boat 110 and called the budget bandit. Small world. :cool:

[TIMINATOR]

Note to locals: This will be the THIRD (non-consecutive) weekend this season that I will not be on the lake. Comp Cams is taking their time on my new custom roller and springs. The manafold is drilled and tapped and awaiting the new PRO SHOT FOGGER installation. I'll try this stuff out before I install the BIG, CUSTOM Carb. I could allways port the heads some more while I wait for the cam..... I WILL make the 100 mark ON THE MOTOR this season. See ya-all next week! TIMINATOR

http://www.mototechtuning.com/dave/IM000795.jpg
darn near full of fuel, probably like 20-25 gallons on board. didnt reset the trip meter from last weekend. i may go back out tommorow without the ride plate and see what the difference is.

[TIMINATOR]

Got bored waiting for the cam etc. Went out and bought a 24 Eliminator Daytona with an I/O. Keeping the 21 too for now anyway.... Maybe I'll just have to make it a little less civilized....... HMMMMMMM still need that 100 on the motor, then I will devote my time to the 24. OOOPS! HELP! I couldn't stop myself! I've had the 24 for 5 and a half hours and I have it ripped apart for a cam and manafold change. Measured for the thru transom exhaust too. Probably order it tomorrow. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! TIMINATOR :wink:
