I uderstand how to set up a boat and the things that need done when speed increases. I kinda do it a lot. the problem I have is you say one thing "my boats done consistant over 84mph" then you say, well, I havent set it up w/ the big motor yet"(post 248) now your back to, "I constantly counted..." So which is it... you think its capable because of the math? Or have you actually done it? I can show you set ups all day that will put a mini rio over 100mph. Will it do it, no. Hulls have speed barriers that cannot be overcome sometimes. IF, you got your MG doing 80, we want to see vids and set up pics. Dont need gps's, or count downs.. those of us who have been doing this long enough are plenty smart enough to give a good estimate of speed even by watching a video.
And let us know how long the leopard lasts at almost 50k RPM. Thats a recipe for disaster.
When you get your boat all set up and get the bigger motor in it, start a new thread about it. You should be excited and thrilled if youve reached that speed and should want people to know. I can say my boat does 90 and post vids and make excuses all day of why my vid only shows it doing 55.

2028?
you cant estimate anything on the water unless your passing two bouys (if by yourself) that you can literally pass with two feet of. And even at that, figuring by yourself is nearly impossible. Water gives the optical illusion when estimating and judging things in the background etc. I can put up several vids that have two boats w/ totally different set ups one stockish and one much faster and point out a dozen times each in the vid where the slower boat looks faster than the fast one because of the distance between the two.... distance meaning if they were close to side by side but one was further to the horizon than the other. As JB26 stated, until you get real proof in your speed reading, you , as well as we, have no idea adn can only make "educated" guesses. And how can you say it does 84.4 or over 84, when you cant even crack wot and didnt in your run. Your boats trimmed no where right as it bounces all over the place etc etc. wahwahwahwah tai, no tail, tail, no tail. You can see it in the "dashes" in the tail. its not smooth and consistant as it should be when running high speeds. there is no way a boat will run even close to 80 w/ a poor attitude. BUT, non of us know anything?
but for now, lets just say, and I think I can speak for all of us commenting on it, lets agree to disagree.
