GPS Speed Adapter for the most uncommon mods

[KidTurbo]

of course gps speed is the most useful metric for display speed in a boat since you equate it to travel time.

I'm all about speed...



Hauling butt, while also being about the "Greenest" thing out on the water has an added cool factor. If I could only find a totaled Tesla S for a good deal to play with, I'd step it up another notch.

Your point is a good one Steveo. In something like a larger boat where your making 10-15 knots having a true speed over water would make more sense. As far as reliability, I've also use DD tach adapter for the analog dash gauge for 4yrs now. Both units are mounted under the dash, but not sealed and exposed to moisture. Last month I tested the salt water impact by running 25 miles in heavy off shore chop. Everything in the boat had a coating of salt when I made it to the trailer.. I would defiantly seal that unit up if was in more of a "fishing boat" environment.

Just a little bit more chop in the water and you'd have had blown past 80!

It's amazing how 80 MPH on water feels like twice that on land. Nice work, not much noise either! I like it!

Wow, you just dated yourself ... the F14's were retired form service in 2006.

Maverick: Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby.
Air Boss Johnson: Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.

LOL, that's a fairly common comparison I hear... The sound comes from a mix of straight cut gears in the out-drive, twin 4" exhaust outlets, and the turbo inlet being directly under that scoop on the hatch. Since everything faces to the back, it's actually pretty quiet inside the boat.

But I got a bright idea one day to turn that scoop around. Force more cool air into the engine bay. And by the end of the weekend, it was switched back....
