what the hell is that?

(bstroop)

My guess is ground speed is 525 knots......or about 477 mph.

It's actually the glass panel cockpit readout on my Bass boat...while pulling a tuber right in the middle of the nice smooth water where everyone was trying to board.

Hey Brian... you got the conversion backwards, it is about 603 mph... but your guess is right.

Is there a joke in this post because I just don,t get it.

davekeith 10-27-2006, 11:56 AM

ok ok you caught me... I don't really own a bass boat...and I have never pulled a tuber.
The post was an attempt to pull any other pilots out of the woodwork...

...but I guess I'm all alone on that one - lol

Do you want to see a picture of a fast boat, how about the world record holder, note the Ohio Tag.

You've got a boat that's faster than 317.6 mph?

The collection - not mine :-(

three of my friends boats, the slow one only goes about 80 mph :-)

Chicks dig fast boats

fellas the 525 knots is a jet airplane

davekeith 10-27-2006, 8:33 PM

Yea.. The pic is from the cockpit of my J.O.B.... If my MB did 603 I don't think I would need to work...lol

Hey... for real how fast does your boats go?

I think mine rpms out at 5200 at about 49...

davekeith 10-27-2006, 8:37 PM

Hey Edward... do you know what they push that thing with?
It's gotta be a huge fan or jet judging by the size of the engine enclosure.
Any idea of the thrust rating?

davekeith 10-27-2006, 8:46 PM

Talking about fast boats... Anyone ever followed Mike Brendel's accomplishments?

David, who do you fly for? I don't see many 145's out here on the west coast - just 135's. I'm at NorCal TRACON.

David it's a jet engine, don't know what flavor, I got the pictures of the record holder boat from a friend that has the bottom three boats that I posted.
