Awfully fast for a little lake.
My first boating memory is watching my father race his "utility" hydro
on Lake Zoar in Connecticut, a fairly small lake, though larger than four
miles long, and on the river just below the dam there. I think it was
called the Indian River or Indian something or other. Anyway, there was
another first that day. Afterwards everyone went to some Italian joint on
the lake and I had my first slice of pizza. Wow.

I was five or six at the time.

Otta be a law against those overpowered motorboats.... they tend to bring
out the worse in the yahoo faction.

Every so often I see one of those overpowered penis boats go by at about
80 mph on Chesapeake Bay, and of course you always hear them, too. I
wonder if they ever find those waterlogged timbers that occasionally
plague the bay?

I think most of us who see them report the logs to the Coast Guard as
hazards.

I recently had a conversation with a boat machanic who told me that
the loss in HP on a jet pump is already factored into the boat. For
example: A jet boat has a HP rating of 100. Now, take that same
engine, and put it into a prop boat, and the HP would be like 130.
So in other words what you see is what you get. But you do lose
efficiency from a pump.
