Thanks for the info. I GPS'd it and it gets to about 50mph.

I had the dealer put in some sound dampening foam in the engine compartment which has helped and I plan to add some more later this Summer. I'd like to have my cake and eat it too -- quiet cruiser at slow speeds and a monster at high speeds.

Been very pleased thus far though I have made every newbie mistake out there. So far, I've sucked up a rock that required some dealer work and I sucked up our tow line which required us to cut it out to get back going.

If anyone can point me to a FAQ that gives newbies like me some tips on avoiding problems I'd appreciate it. I'm probably more inclined on carpet versus the hydroturf only because of the extra comfort and sound dampening.

HI all,

After many years of wanting a Seadoo jet boat I finally managed to save up and purchase one. It's a 2011 Speedster 150. So far, loving it.

Are there any things you guys recommend I should be doing with this? I'm looking at hydro turfing. I'm also looking at putting in some additional noise dampening as it is still kind of noisy when I just want to putter around the lake.

It handles like a dream. I have never driven a boat like this. It's indescribably fun.

BTW, does anyone know what the top speed of the 150 is? I have the 1.5L injected engine.
