300/440/550 Correct Me If Im Wrong

[kawakid]

I saw this while flipping through fleabay(ebay), this guy claims a top speed of 75 mph.:bigeyes: I've been around the jetskis for the last 16 years and I've never seen a 440 go that fast. I did ride one once that went around 55-56. I think persond is a jack***, but i could be wrong. IT'S my opinion. What does everyone else think?:bs2:

Sorry guys, but I'm gonna have to stick up for the ebay seller on this one . . . . . . he's definitly not a "Jackass" as Kawakid said.

. . . . . . . . . . he's clearly a "Dumbass" ! :biggrin:

[jpilot98]

it appears he has stopped posting the questions on it... matt... werent you watching this ski... you know you want it...

 

[Matt_E]

Naw...but I did ask him to let me in on his tuning secret of changing octane requirements by carburetor jetting.

 

[tom21]

I'm bidding on it just for the trailer!!! Saaweeeet!

 

[turbohatch3]

i think we should give the guy props for having the worlds fastest 440:cheer: :loser:

 

[Hogggman]

He prob clocked it next to a sea poo with those super accurate speedos. My buddy thinks his gtx does that.

 

[djyox]

Nice. I didn't know you could get 75mph out of a stock motor block painted green, 38bn, and a pipe. But it doesn't look like it would start too easy with out a battery....Also it has the '77-'80 elec. box, so I would be willing to bet that only the hull is an '89

My square nose does 85 . . . .



I know it does because my friends, brother's, buddy knew a guy with one that wasn't set up as good as mine and it did 75 and he rode mine and said it was waaaaay faster.

So just to be conservative I'll say it'll do 80 for sure . . . . . besides it's gotta be faster than that guys 75 mph 550 . . . . . right ? :biggrin:

 

[550 SLUT]
