The one from Speedtech (http://www.speedtech.com/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=35) is reportedly being discontinued (according to retailsers of the speedmate on the surf ski mailing list). I've lost a few impellers and replacements are getting hard to find... If you have multiple boats, and don't mind a little annoyance the trailing wire model might be good - plus there's nothing to lose so you don't have to worry about lost impellers. If I were buying a new one I would look at the Nielson Kellerman model. http://www.nkhome.com/rp/speedcoachp/speedcoachp.html I've been told that the speedtech knotmeter was an OEM version built by Nielson Kellerman, I don't know the truth to that. I plan to be buying an NK impeller the next time I lose the impeller for my speedmate, hopefully the rumors are true and I have a continueing source of replacement parts.
