"that slow".
Aaron ... how fast do you think these boats went to start with ?
Surely you don't think speeds were verified with a gps back then ?
if you think 70 mph is "Slow"  what do you think is Fast  ?
Cubic inche's turn into Cubic dollars pretty Quick,  Horse power is Money, but even Water
is not consistant, all that makes a difference.
1980 23ft Scimitar

Nooo, you got me wrong. I put slow in "" cause I meant like only going 5-10 mphs more with nearly 200 horse more. I know that they are fast! (maybe not my CVX16, but all the others) ;)
I just thought an Intimidator with that many horses would go faster. Heard of a guy running 103 mphs in an Intimidator, wonder what he is running then?! Wow!

The fastest I went was nearly 100 mphs. 38 ft Hustler Slingshot.

Our Donzi 22 Classic with a 502 Merc and nearly 450 horse went around 75-80 mphs as well.
