LOL that was not aimed at you Jeff. ( I am not shy)
That said, I've never seen your GPS ;)

I have heard of 114mph V-Kings. That, I have A LOT of trouble with.
Motorheadbishop in Florida had fooled around with a V-king as much as anyone I've ever seen.
He's modified the hull taken weight out of the boat, thrown crazy HP at it set up and all the rest. I know he keeps VERY fast company which let's face it, is a huge factor in this type of stuff.
He has run a legit 110mph. Having played with Streams now for 5 years I think that is amazing and a HUGE acomplishment.
These boats have limitations and when you start hitting that wall you can throw 40% mor HP at it and will net VERY small MPH
Once a boat is setup, HP and Props are the deciding factor. And at these speeds a prop will not give you 10mph. There is no Magic in boats. Simply good set up, HP and a driver.

No no wasn't implying that at all. Just that with the work I've done on my car I haven't spent much time on boards over the last year. So you never know what new stories are out there. Doubt is good , keeps people learning

114mph vking???? To quote Mr. Kryskow... "Maybe if it was dropped from the red bull space capsule."
I could not possibly agree more Pat. Personally I would rather jump from space than run over 110 in a v-king... I still remember seeing the white thing in my peripheral when geiger and I were running down 5 gallon bay.... I was giggling like a school girl.

Soon you won't be able to post a speed on the interweb without proving it on 5 gallon bay....I can record the weather station data and build in a correction factor so we're all running on an equal footing...:)

5 gallon was the dok's..... I was thinking "LAKE Y".

If people want me to respect the reported numbers... I need witnesses .. GPS pictures.... And video proof of the run to proove no hooking was present during the run.
If these are not fully met... You can say what you want about your "claimed" speeds... But I WILL call shennanigans..!
