I would agree. I wish it was faster. I am hoping to get in better shape as well. I feel like I have been beaten up. Muscles I didn't know I had are sore.

At 90 km/h, my ears were being buffeted so much that it was uncomfortable. If I were to go on a long trip at that speed I would need earplugs.

I was lucky that morning. There were no other boats out and we have this thing here called the Intracoastal Waterway 'ICW'. It starts in Texas and goes all the way up to Canada wrapping around Florida.  It is a safe passageway for boats to commute along the Gulf of Mexico and up the Atlantic Coast without having to go out into the ocean. It is no less than 100 meters wide at any point. 

So that morning the area I was coming back through to get to the boat ramp was on the ICW, There were no other boats out and it was protected from wind and waves so the water was like glass. I could go as fast as I wanted to which is how I was able to go 56 MPH. I did that for at least 5 minutes constantly at one point. I LOVE this Sea-Doo!

Never went that fast LOL

Top speed on my FX HO was 95 km/h, after I had the custom windshield fitted that reduced to 90 km/h. Fast enough!

Stability with no loss of speed or manoeuvrability. Big help when carrying passengers. You can literally stand on the edge of one side of the ski with no drama.]]> Tue, 05 Mar 2024 13:05:47 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138256&PID=1837489&title=introduction#1837489 <![CDATA[Introduction... : MB wrote:The collars are made...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138256&PID=1837488&title=introduction#1837488 Author: Freakaccident

What are the benefits of having the collars?

I don't think we can get those collars here. They are nice though. I have applied for that Facebook group.

By the way, I had some of these and they were bloody awesome! Gave me the confidence to take my young son offshore fishing with me.
