Wow, what a great thread! I was "avoiding it" and had time to kill today.

Congrats on your breaking the 60mph barrier even though you had to brave that "cool 69 degree morning".

Thanks, I never used to post anything. I officially highjacked this thread a while back and made it my own. My apology to anyone I may have walked on.

Breaking the 60mph mark was a little bit surprising. Light load and good weather. If I had known it was going to be so cool I would have worn some underwear. I forget that there are posters and members from all over the country. It is hard to beat our mild Florida winter for boating.

I wouldn't worry about hijacking this thread, it keeps right with the original subject.

Plus it never bothered me when my threads get hijacked (other forums), in fact I kinda like it as it keeps conversations going.

Unhappy

February 17, 2010:

'90 Evinrude 225 turning a 14 1/2 X 19 stainless.
I hit 53.? mph on GPS at 5600 rpms into the wind and current before I blew the rings out.

P.S. This was lightly loaded with just me and about 40+/- gallons of gas on board.

Bradford, good speed. Sorry to hear that about the motor. Been there, I feel your pain. Nothing screws up a good day on the water like motor trouble.

Thats the thought that entered my mind after slowing down and hearing the spray paint rattle can sound.
