Abstract:
1. A vessel speed control system for a small planing boat for controlling a vessel speed of the small planing boat, a boat body of the small planing boat being driven by thrust force generated by jetting liquid from a nozzle supported by a portion of the boat body and driven by an internal combustion engine, the vessel speed control system comprising: vessel speed detection means for detecting a speed of the boat body; speed information storing means on which previously set maximum speed limit data of the boat body are stored; vessel speed control means for controlling the speed of the boat body so as not to exceed the maximum speed limit based on a result of a correlation, the correlation being performed by correlating a speed detected by the vessel speed detection means with the maximum speed limit stored on the speed information storing means; wherein the vessel speed control means comprises output power control means for controlling an output power of the internal combustion engine based on the result of the correlation; and wherein the output power control means comprises:
