    Exciting new shore spike on sale now!!!!! Limited time special!!!

    I tried one of those and didn't have any success with it...wave motion caused it to pull out and not hold well at all... plus, all friends looked at me like I was an idiot when I got it out to use. Now I have a Danforth anchor for the rear and it holds like a champ

    Jet boat no neutral

    1). Not uncommon, bucket adjustment can help... with a jet boat the only true neutral is turned off 2). Yes, sloppy steering is common and the addition of fins (thrust vector or cobra steering) help, but they probably don't make them for your older boat

    Seadek Engine Step Over

    JBP sells it in hydroturf, so I'm sure Will can make it in seadek. They also just released bow seadek pieces, check them out as well

    62mph???

    Yep, Yamaha tests out every boat on the water, basically just a hull and engine with minimal gas... Smooth lake water up in Georgia! I'm guessing 62 is the max you can achieve
