I've felt good about my Turbo 1, 22 pitch prop and had seen 62 on the speedometer but have been looking forward to getting that verified by GPS.

This morning, I had the chance to take my neighbor out and he brought along his handheld GPS unit.

The final verdict? With 2 full-grown men and a full tank of gas, we hit 59.0 mph (dash speedo said 62-ish). All along the speend range, the variation was +/- 3 mph.

I'm sure with just me and less gas that I'll break 60! Whoot!

good deal ! I had mine verified by radar today .... because I got a stinking ticket ! 63 in a 30 zone .... Didn't get a break on the ticket ... 65 bucks... kinda worth it though ! I shouldn't have stopped to pick up a towable that flew out of a boat going the other way :biggrin: what ratio do you have in your outdrive ?

Bummer about the ticket...... but you got off cheap. Around here, that kind of ticket would be over $200. :eek:

My outdrive ratio is 1.62.

Speed is good.
