[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 633265, member: 61743"] 2000 Polaris Virage with a Skat-Trak impeller. Me: [b][Broken External Image][/b]: Straying off-topic, but about the fastest ANY stock ski will go is 65 mph or so because the manufacturers all voluntarily limit them to that, I don't care what your speedo says. The 65 mph units include the Kaw Ultra 150, Polaris (R.I.P.) SLX, Yamaha GP1200R and 1300R, and Sea-Doo RXP and limited-production RXXP. Now it's easily possible to add some parts to get them to run 70 but that extra 5 mph can cost some serious money and getting to 80 costs even more (and you end up with an unreliable time-bomb of a motor). Mine tops out at an honest 50 mph and I put the hurt on people who think they're going 60 to 65. One guy asked me to take the seat off because he couldn't believe I outran his 1100 Kaw with a 700 cc twin.:blink: With the Skat-Trak it'll hit 50 in about 8 seconds, no more top end but the acceleration and hookup is better. Although if I had the money I'd take a RIVA GP1300R in a heartbeat. BTW, I'm 45 years old.:D [/QUOTE]
