It is easily possible to produce evidence of your top speed, Rick. For $100 you can have a GPS unit that shows your speed in real time and records a wonderful database that you can later examine at your leisure, so you do not have to take your eyes off the business at hand when things get to the white knuckle stage on the water.

14+ mph has been easy for me, and I am a novice at this. There is no doubt in my mind that many others have gone much faster. I would like to know how much faster.
