Got up to 55mph loaded with gear and one person with me going across the lake. I think I could hit 60mph with a empty boat. The cooler air helped out; normally I run 52-53 mph. What is everyone else getting up to?

I just bought a 99 sportster 2 x 85hp's and usually hit about 43mph with a few people in it. I'm debating on having it taken in and checked out. From what I've read, new wear rings might be the fix to get me above 50-55mph?
Hi
I have the same boat 155 4tec. On a small lake,moderate chop, one person,
1/4 tank of fuel I can hit 58 mph since wear ring and impeller were replaced.
The boat is very fast. It seems the more out of the water the better.
Of course this is only valid if the speedo is reliable. I have calibrated it against other boats and it seems to be on.

Speedster 15 GPS
I just GPS'd my new Speedster 15 (215)last week on a fresh water lake with smooth water. The GPS max'd at 56.0 mph (with variation down to ~55.3). The speedometer said 52-53 mph.
Thanks,
Jim

I have a 3005 Sportster 150 with 215HP took it out last weekend with wife, buddy and his son. 560 lbs of people + Full tank of gas, ski's, knee board and a case of Beer . Oh yeah and one GPS unit.. After arranging the sitting positions I hit 53 MPH on 6-8 inch chop, the speedo indicated 65, so I tapped on it and it indicated 32. LOL... The factory speedo is about as accurate as a bicycle speedo operated off of the spokes...
