Cute Little Guy... How Fast?

[thedukeryan]

Looks like a fun little toy. It would be hard to justify for the price but if I had $ to burn I would buy it just for sh*t's and giggles. Its a 12' with 50hp engine. I cant imagine it taking much to get the little thing going pretty quick. How fast do you think the little thing would go?

I would say low to mid 40's. I had a 10 footer with a 60hp Suzuki jet and it ran mid 30's, but I guess you lose mph and gain lbs with the jet engine. I still have this one, but it's sitting under a few feet of dust and other items, hasn't been run in years.

I'm sorry, never been to Missouri, is there really a town called Tightwad? Now I know where my boss comes from. .

King of the jet ski's. Seems like something that off scale in size to other boats yet zinging along at 45 would be scary that others wouldn't see you on a busy lake, possibly less maneuverable that a jetski, sorta like having not a motorcyle but a go cart on the street with traffic. I guess something like that would be fun on a private lake or only on certain weekdays.

I'm sure that the one I posted was built for racing. There is a boat track near where I live and they race alot of squirts over there.
