Plus getting out of sorts at that speed (80+mph) has a high lethality probability on the water. I was being careful and was wearing a certified inboard racing vest a full face helmet and a tether to the kill switch. The GoPro has GPS in it and I had no idea what my speed was until i watched the video and added the speedometer overlay. I could change the gears in the v-drive and get more speed but there is no reason for me to push my luck. It has plenty of punch and is a lot of fun. The conditions on our lake are not conducive to going that fast most of the time. But I wanted to test out the GoPro and got geared up just in case the planets lined up and gave me enough calm water to hold the pedal down a little longer.

My wife loves it with an occasional launch on a little stretch of calm water. "Where Can A Man Find Bear Beaver And Other Critters Worth Cash Money When Skinned?"
