Are there any gps speedos out there that will update fast enough to give the top speed on a fast hydro?

I would think you'd have to maintain the top speed for at least a couple seconds to get an accurate reading. I don't have a positive answer for you because I've never run one on this type of boat.

look into a higher end hand held and leave the display at "max speed" they almost always catch the top speed. Not necessarily in real time but in a 7 or 8 second sprint they can usually land it.

There is a processing lag of a couple of seconds or more depending on the quality of the unit to measure the time differential. Even a good quality handheld will need a couple of seconds of top speed held to get an accurate reading.

Hey Rexone,
How acurate are the Pro Comp GPS Speedo units from Auto Meter?
I would like to install on my Schiada if they work and are accurate?
Please let me know your thoughts?

They are very accurate and they utilize Garmin receivers. If you want accuracy specs I'm sure I can come up with that for you, just not at my fingertips here.
