Speedometer check - neveronsunday - 05-31-2003 [#ff0000]Hiya all, I had to put a new pitot assembly on the boat and was wondering if there was some place to test it in Utah? I don't have a GPS and probably won't until I can afford one in about a hundred years. Any one know of a marked slalom course or somethnig to use a stop watch with? Thanx.
