Same here except for the accurate part. To be fair the speedo agrees with the GPS +/- 1 MPH at 35 MPH. Last Sat night we were out and I got the boat into the minimum state I would call "on plane". The speedo said 22 and the GPS read 25. Trim all the way in and full tabs except for port/starboard level. Lesser speed got the GPS down to 20 MPH but it was a quasi mush-plane state.

FWIW the speedo on the SeaDoo is dead nuts on (per GPS) anywhere between 20 - 50 MPH.
