. I’m not sure which speedo it has but I know you are correct that it is inaccurate. Plenty fast though!

Keep your old speedo!

Need one of those Orange WARNING stickers:
"GPS speedos can be harmful and can negatively affect your mood"

@Jeremiah the boat looks fantastic. As you know, I have the same boat. Somewhere I have a photo of 52mph on my GPS speedo.

Took it out yesterday. Mid 80’s at Berreyessa.

Hello everyone.

I bought this boat a couple of weeks ago on Craig’s. Seller was motivated and I purchased without even knowing if the motors turned over (rolling the dice). It has not been ridden in since 2013 and the cover “came off” in 2016-2017 time frame. He bought it new in 2006 from the dealer and it was the test drive boat and had 10 hours when purchased. It has only been in freshwater lakes.

Hey @Jeremiah I know this isnt relatable to your comment. But we have the same boat, if possible would you be able to measure the inside diameter of the cutout hold for the anchor compartment? Irecently bought the same model and it was missing that. Forgot to measure before I left. Boat is 3 hours away and want to order the parts so I can install it next time I go down. Thanks!
