How much faster is a boat in saltwater.

[Fashun]

Just wondering how much faster a boat will run.

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

I don't know the answer but.. I would say it depends on what you are running and how it is in the chop. :wink:

Has a DCB ever been in salt water? :hammerhea

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

not ours.. but yes I do believe they are tested in salt water. :D thats why they don't porpoise. or chime. :D

Most boats won't porpoise of chine walk idling in the harbor.
You guys beat a Duffy boat or two, eh?

I gotta admit...those DCBs idle with the best of 'em.
However, get 'em past the breakwater...and they would probably start breaking out in hives, or something...

Thanks for saving me on the gas! :D
If your boat didn't ride so bad in the harbor, maybe you would want to go out where the water was bigger than 1'? :supp:

[Fashun]

Can anyone asnwer is a boat faster in salt or fresh...

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

Can anyone asnwer is a boat faster in salt or fresh...
sorry.. I am known for high jacking threads.. I think it depends on what kind of boat you are running in. can it handle the ocean or is it made for fresh water. such as what havasu Hangin has. :D

[Havasu Hangin']

Can anyone asnwer is a boat faster in salt or fresh...
Who are you again?

3.2 mph in the Atlantic off of Florida, 2.7 mph in the Pacific in So. Cal.

Salt water is more buoyant (like Mrs. V :eek: )..
...so it's good for a mile or two, depending on the boat.
:D

You have to get Parker (and the Parker Gaystars) out of your mind. :messedup:
Think DEEEEEEP. :supp:

What if your rig only does 60 mph?
The colder the air and water is, the better your shit will run.

[CornWater]

All included in my calculations..

[Jordy]

:D
It's also more dense and tends to be rather sticky on a flat day. Lots of variables. Does the boat in question have thru transom exhaust? :cool: :eek: :wink:

HH, don't be hatin! It is not your fault that you don't qualify for D-row and no one wants you below the dam. :yuk:

I'm not hatin'! Don't be blaming me 'cause you guys can't go deeeeep... :supp:

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

well I know MR V can go deep.. :rollside: Just not with the boat.. TMI sorry. :devil:

[BADBLOWN572]

Define deep, ocean? Havasu? Other Lakes?
1) Who cares about the ocean. If I want to go into the ocean, I break out the other boat.
2) As for Havasu, don't be hatin because I can blow you away on your home turf,
3) Other lakes, refer to #2

92.8 mph if it is before May 15

[Jordy]

92.8 mph if it is before May 15
That depends on if the exhaust is thru-transom or thru-hub though. :D

JP , check your PM

[riverracerx]

Sorry to reply to the topic at hand and get you back on track... :cool:
But salt water also make you cavitate easier. You can get some serious prop spin off the bottom, or while you are riding in someone's wash.
But I have noticed slightly higher top end speeds. Unfortunately all of my real world experience comes mostly from eight years of jet ski racing (long ago). We did alot of testing with radar and a laptop in Mission Bay vs. Havasu. It took a completely different prop/fuel setup.

[Fashun]

Hear that Jordy.. standoff boxes as well..

With my old power the boat ran 113 out front of santa monica pier at its best. In havi the fastest it would run was 103. I would say that salt is faster. More bouancy and denser water makes for a free boat and extra speed.

I run faster in the salt, but maybe it's because I'm denser? :confused:

If I put The Raylar kit on the twins they are telling me that I should pick up anywhere from 10-17 mph. This would put me at around 110 is it a good kit and has anyone heard of it.

That 10-17 sounds realistic......
Salt vs fresh, all sorts of things will effect speed on a given day....but my best salt speed vs fresh speed is about 2 mph higher in the salt :wink:
Only know of 2 Raylar kits so far that are actually on the water, but both boats run real nice :cool:
Good luck to ya
