Planet earth Tom. I just came back from Greenwood lake and used the speedo I
ran 32mph across the lake. It's possible the Lund cuts water better once it's up on plane than what you are used to. Sorry you don't agree. "Shortwave Sportfishing" wrote in message ...

My friend had, up until this year, a 35 johnson from 1980, the same model that is now a 25. It would do 24 mph wide open, by GPS. Perhaps yours is a lot faster, or perhaps you need a new speedometer. del cecchi |

I am not running a older OMC Johnson it's a newer Suzuki 25. it may sit in
the water just right with this motor, the pitch of the prop may be just right, and possibly the lake was too calm when I ran the test, all I know is it just ran great and better than I expected.I'm sorry you guys don't believe me.
