Its big money if you sink at dorset. $500 minimum hook up to send a diver down. Up to a thousand if its tricky , down deep. When ladyK sunk the form 500 last year inbetween big and little redstone *our dealer came and fished it out for free.After that it cost $450 to fix er up. She put 300 kliks on it the next day. http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

You usually don't have to hit the water that fast. *just keep er going when your on it.. * How long was the stretch of water??

permafrost

I usually hit the water at anywhere between 20 and 40 kliks then accelerate to 80 or so. The water at dorset is somewhere around .5 to .75 kms. http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Is there a speed record for riding on water?

What are typical speeds when cruising in the water?

Well everything was up to par including most lakes until this warm snap. *I live near moutain lake Fridgee. Right now it is a balmy 6 degrees out . We still have snow but the lakes are slush and topwater. and the trails took a beating *Back in the bush it is still OK. I don't know about a speed record on water JETrep but would be willing to try. Sounds like a new category for the guiness book of world records. http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

World record for distance is 62 or 67 km's (1 of those, can't remeber for sure). * Basically the guy must of run out of gas! As for speed hitting the water, unless you're on a Doo, don't even think about going 20 km's!! *Well some Polaris's might make it. *Each sled is different.
