110+ on a Schiada in parker. Speedo said 118 but I'm not going to overstate a pre-gps speed. I was most impressed with the owners daughter, she was driving.

127 in Herbst's Skater. But that doesn't count to me, it didn't even get my heart going, there is no feeling of speed in those things.
108 in the SR-22 (http://www.raceyindustries.com/Projects/Schiada_SR22/Schiada_SR22.php), now that's an exciting ride!:D

About 105 in our 22' Stoker on Parker. I think the hubby has had it up to 110 or so. Anything over 100 mph for me anymore.....no thanks. ;) 80mph is a lovely cruising speed for me!

145 in the Nortech Dr. Evil.... and he had some throttle left :idea: :jawdrop: :devil: smooth as glass too.
He turned the boat 180 degrees at 90 mph like it was on rails. :jawdrop:
Awesome boat!! At 130 mph all your hear is wind and blower whine. :D
What I was most impressed with was despite having rather large blowers it idled miraculously smooth and the engine bay was so damn clean you could eat off of it.:devil:
Been 150 mph in the Caddy with pedal left. Didn't want to go faster as there were too many witnesses ;) and its windy around here.:eek:

GPS'd my boat at 70, but I think it's faster now...:D
I did test drive an '88 IROC to 140mph once with the salesman sitting next to me and my 'then' gf in the back seat...
My '76 Stingray was fast too (not stock) est. 160

Keith E. Sayre
09-27-2007, 09:43 AM
probably Byron Ashleys 36 Nortech called Phat Cat.somewhere around 158 mph or something like that. I've been told that now he's about 10 mph faster than that!!
Beautiful boat, great ride and a fantastic owner.

That baby has twins, and he told me it gets about 100mph out of each engine. I didn't see the gps when we were running, but the beer siphoning out of top of my 40oz definitely verified the speed.

75 MPH in my uncle's bass boat at Lake of the Ozarks. I was like 10, and not sitting in a seat. I got stuck on the floor. He hit a big wave (shocking at LOTO, I know), and I went flying towards the back. Luckily, my dad caught me before I flew out.
On land, fastest I've driven is 125 MPH in my F-150. Fastest I've been in a car is 135, 1993 Taurus SHO.

Onboard Predator in 2003. Gary dialed it in even faster a few years later...lemme see if I can find that one.
Like others have said - kind of like taking off in a jetliner - you're hauling ass but don't feel the speed.
Unless, of course, you do something stoopid like raise your camera above the canopy. The Kodak, my arm and the guy sitting behind me certainly didn't enjoy it either. :eek: :eek: :eek:
Straps (camera or otherwise) are a good thing at 155+

thats what the timing clocks got me at might have been lil more since i went thru at full speed than start to ease off the gas.

But my own lake boat might hit 60 on a perfect day seats more than one person and can hold a big cooler :D
