dizzy5868 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 OK I took everyones opinion that the boat can't go that fast and decided to test it. I took he boat out with my gps and a friends gps. Right off, at the launch both units said I was in different spots. Mine said I was on the other side of the river and my friends said I was at the launch. Confused already I proceeded to run the boat. I made 4, 4 mile runs wide open. Each time my gps said I was running between 79 and 82mph, my friends gps said I was running between 66 and 71 mph. The faster numbers were running down river. So I've come to the conclusion that my gps is in need of some repair. I can't use my speedo because it only goes to 65 mph and it's pegged. So even if both gps are wrong the boat will do at least 65 +. I apologize if I offended anyone, I just had to prove it myself. I should have realized my gps was off before when some of my waypoints were not where I thought they were. I will sending it back to Lowrance on monday. All in all I still think it's a fast boat for and 18 footer. Thanks Rob Quote
