Two people on each ski? And they ran for 2 1/2 hours? What size tank do those things have?

Im betting it was the Sea Doo boats, and not ski's. would be a very tight fit to get 4 guys on a ski. Explains the speed and the length of time they ran too. Just my thoughts... I may be mistaken, it has been known to happen once or twice before... Wink

We've been trying to tell you these 4 strokes get good gas mileage Smile

Nah, they were probably non-SC'ed 4tecs which cap out about 55 MPH and will go 100 miles on a tank or better. I dunno where they go in excess of 70 MPH. You know us Sea Doo guys always exaggerate about our speeds, hehe.

Man, I know right where that was too. That's my favorite riding spot down by Galveston.
