Picked up a GPS unit this morning from a coworker. No price negotiated yet, but looks to be cheap ~$125 or so maybe!

I'll verify my speeds this weekend!

Just a heads up for everyone thats keeping score at home.

The speedo is OFF...a BUNCH.

Top speed @~4600rpm
Indicated 27mph, Actual 39mph

3800rpm cruise
Indicated 21mph, Actual 30mph

3000rpm cruise (about the slowest I can stay on plane)
Indicated 15mph, Actual 23mph

At least I know now....Glad I figured all this out before I tried to ski behind the boat with the GF driving :D
