Well...my ski tops out at about 45mph, I think. Keep in mind, that's a freestyle port job, B-Pipe (doesn't rev all that high) and a 13/16 impeller (not that good for top speed)

That said, I hardly ever go top speed for more than a couple of seconds. But good point: When I do, it's to catch up with boats so I can get wake.

However, most boats that throw a good wake travel relatively slow.

thing is, it gets there really quick!!!!!!!!!!

to give you an idea, several years ago, think 2000 or 2001, Jeff Jacobs Sj only did mid 50's whereas Mac's, Rius, and others were hitting low to mid 60's but he kicked their tails!!!!!!!!! top speed does not mean you win the race....... I know, it off topic but some good info.

In fact, Malone claims that his craft will actually hit top speeds of around 57 mph. Not bad when you consider that one of the main objectives that Malone has to keep in mind when building his freestyle craft is the bottom-end acceleration.

this is from r&d website

and thats with a repitched concord as well

Mmph...maybe I am faster than I think. I got a FS ported 736, dual 44s, B-Pipe, 13/16 concord.

Maybe it's me slowing it down.

For a Freestyle port, the exhaust port height shouldn't be raised.
However, the total port area will increase (due to widening), causing a drop in cranking compression.
