    Default Top Speed!

    Hey everyone,
    This is my first thread but I have been wandering the numerous threads of performance boats for a long time. What I would like to see is, what is the top speed of your personal floating missile! If you would please state the make and model of your boat, its length, and the engine/drive you currently run and the modifications you have made to your boat to increase your top speed. This is [U]Performance boats[U] so lets see what your performance boats are runnin!

    But you can jump wakes with the best of them!!! Let's see a 40' Skater do that.
    The worst day boating is better than the best day doing just about anything else!!
