here's the deal about 60 mph in a CC, unless you have modified the hull and use nitrous, Like Bill does, the best your going to do is the low 50's regardless. Secondly if the speed isn't from a GPS device it's not accurate to start with, Thirdly the speedo's only go to 50 mph, so if they read higher odds are they did not change the pitote's and remove the balance tubes when they changed the speedo's and they will not be accurate at any speed. Fourthly you came to the wrong place to bullsh*t people about how fast a Nautique will go because there are several people on this site that have heavily modified their engines, me included, and use GPS or radar guns to verify their speeds and know exactly what they a capable of doing, So your commint about doing 60 is the only reason everyone jumped on board and posted as much as they did. Lastly read Hollywood's signature, that's me he is refering too and I know a little about engines and making them go fast. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

I think Will is back on track with the 60 MPH comments. The embelishment should be stopped now. He might have meant high 40's. Nice boat in any case. A Donzi will do 60+MPH, that's what I do know.

I've never gone more than 42 MPH in a boat. It must be a rush hitting 50, 60 even 70 MPH. How about you, Chris, what's the fastest you've gone in a boat? Bass boats are pretty quick from my understanding. It's amazing watching bass boats trimmed out at WOT. There's very little hull in the water.

Ken,
BTW, glad you are recovering. I've been in a friends bass boat at 60. I wasn't interested in hitting any rollers. You can feel the boat sort of gently riding on an air pocket. But that's been my only experience at that speed. For my purposes, 40+ is sufficient, enough to barefoot my friends who like that.

Thanks, Chuck. Yeah, I wouldn't feel too secure hitting waves at 60 MPH. It looks like there's only a couple of inches of hull in the water. I imagine the wind could get underneath and cause some flight time.
I'm more than happy with 42. Ken ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1052&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - Nautique 2001 |

The fastest boat I've been on was a Bass Boat on Dale hollow it did about 75 with four of us on it back in the late 80's it had a hugh evenrude outboard but then again it wasn't a GPS speed and you can't trust the speedo's. Just sitting so low to the water really inceases the effect and makes it seem a lot faster than you actually are going then cross a wake at speed, that will get your attaintion.. Never try and go that fast unless the water is like glass it's very dangerous and extremely foolish with a little chop and other boats around,
OOOHhh one other thing the guy that owned the boat die in it later on that year. Since you guys brought up the off-shore, cigarett type boats make sure the boat is in top running order before you go that fast, I had a couple of friends riding in a 35-40' Fountane (sp) when a driveshaft broke and it did a power turn like our boats can do and banged up everyone pretty good several broken bones but everyone lived. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

What I learned about bass boats while living down in virginia is if the guy driving offers you a helmet you should definitely take it. If he is wearing a helmet and doesn't have an extra one stay on shore, I have been an honest 87 mph on a 23 ft triton with one of those supercharged inline six 6 mercury 275s on the back and that was on a river and not often in a straight line... I though fishing was supposed to be relaxing. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Here is a pic of one of those fisherman racing to a fishing hole in a tournament here in MN. He was trying to go through a no wake channel at 70+ MPH and ended up on the fence pole.

Two years ago, I was involved in an offshore race boat accident. 85mph, put a 35 ft boat on its tail. I broke an ankle, and a couple of ribs. In retropspect, I probably did some damage to my back as well. Still, we felt fortuante that all 5 on the boat walked away.
Going fast in a boat is fun, but it's very dicey. We've got several boats in the neighborhood that will do in excess of 125mph. I'm always concerned that one is going to come around a corener in our narrow levy system, and into our path. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

there is a time a place to go fast and it doesn't include using an older boat with old parts, conjested/blind area's or choppy water.
It has to be a wide open, large area, smooth as glass in a mechanically sound craft otherwise have your life insurance and will up to date. Offshore isn't the place to go fast without the proper safty gear and an experienced high speed driver and throttle man and it's still pretty risky with that.

Now that's funny. You're right, we should have been wearing safety gear at 85mph in an offshore. Unfortunately, we do it all the time. Most people have helmets, and ejection vests, but only wear them when in a race, crowded poker run, or occasionally in rough water. I've probably been out at 85-100mph speeds over a hundred times. Typically, in these 35 to 42 foot boats, you barely feel it. But, it only takes one time, and trust me, you feel it when you crash. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

Been 63 mph (gps)in my bass boat.17.5' with a 150 on back.Not much in the water at that speed.Would only take a slight disturbance in that water to ruin your day.It's not really worth it,but it's hard not to use it when you have it.There's a time and a place for everything,I guess

Let's all back off of Will now. He learned a quick lesson, changed his attitude and understands his spelling isn't the greatest. I'm sure Will is better at math than I am!
Hang in there, Will, we'll help you out. What I do with tricky words is, open up Microsoft Word, type the word you're attempting to spell, then use spell check if necessary. Everyone has their weak points, but as long as you're working on it, that's what counts. Hey, Keith, can you add spell check along with the new chat room? .

How about something like this? http://www.texttrust.com/public/free-trial.aspx?gclid=CMO3tJm52oYCFSNaFQodzilc5A - Spell Correctly . I'm a huge fan of Microsoft Word spell check. It's easy and doesn't cost a dime...unless you don't have the program.

Well, to go off on another philosophical tangent, I beleive Microsoft Word, and other spell check programs are precisely why kids no longer learn how to spell. It's even worse for simple math where calculators have been around for 30+ years now. I interview so-called professionals, weekly, who have the math skills of a five year old.

Yep, you are correct in this case. Like I said earlier, happens to all of us. The more spelling we correct here, the more mistakes.
However, there are many exceptions to that rule. For example, counterfeit. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

I before E except after C. Not always the case but a good place to start.
You can judge a person based on simple grammar and spelling. I believe it is so much easier for kids to learn these days. You can look so much stuff up on the computer, versus going to the library. There are so many computer programs on the market today to help kids education. Is this still CorrectCraftFan.com?
