Catmando, there's a great test of strengh in these boats... stand on the tan pad, lock your feet with legs spread to the sides, hold on tight to the tower and have your buddy whip a donut! We did it a lot with our French friend, crazy guy would follow me up river and stay in my wake to know how shallow it was lol

I figured it was those ones. Some had 583’s to didn’t they? Be a fun boat to rip on!

Those look like so much fun. I did some research quite a few years back on them, and they burned something stupid like 25 gallons of fuel an hour at full throttle. I don't recall the exact amount but it was crazy high. Not that you always run full throttle either though.

Not as far as I'm aware. I believe the 650 was the smallest engine used in a boat, only the PWC's got the 583. The 583 was topped out at about 60hp, even with twins that would be pretty under powered for a sport boat.
But that speedster is a pretty sweet boat, about the same power as my mini, in a better handling hull a couple feet longer and only a little heavier. Should absolutely rip.

I’ve been warned, they are heavy on fuel,but how long can you do 60 miles an hour lmao!

At full throttle sure, the seadoo I pulled my motor out of burnt about 80 liter/hr at WOT too. My boat now holds 120 liters, and I can easily get 6hrs out of that cruising at 45km/hr.
Granted his speedster is a twin engine 2 stroke and mine is a single engine four-stroke.

Yeah, that's why I said you you don't always run full throttle.

Our LS3 raceboats are in that 25 GPH range at 6000 rpm on LL100, but at least we get 540 HP out of it lol. And a guy can cruise at 60 mph all day when you're used to doing 110... My LSX boat does 60 at 4000 rpm, but crank her to 5800 then "Girls, hang on to your nipples!"
I cant wait to get on the water!
LSA jet boats @4000 use 25 GPH too but @5000 they'll drink 50! boost takes fuel....
I've always loved the Doo boats, they corner amazing and the pumps stay loaded, I don't know how they do it. victory roll and punch it out of the hole with no slip. great fun
