We are delighted you have found your way to the best Jet Boaters Forum on the internet! Please consider Signing Up so that you can enjoy all the features and offers on the forum. We have members with boats from all the major manufacturers including Yamaha, Seadoo, Scarab and Chaparral. We don't email you SPAM, and the site is totally non-commercial. So what's to lose? IT IS FREE!
Membership allows you to ask questions (no matter how mundane), meet up with other jet boaters, see full images (not just thumbnails), browse the member map and qualifies you for members only discounts offered by vendors who run specials for our members only! (It also gets rid of this banner!)
The only problem with that is GPS tracking doesn't lie. So maybe if things are a little rough, fingers and toes crossed that it isn't, we give our GPS trackers to the folks flying over to confuse the July folks, haha.
Was it that smooth the whole way?
They supply bath towels but not beach/boat towels.
Looks like it (I’m so jealous!)
There is typically a wide band of seaweed about 5 to 10 miles off the Fort Lauderdale coast, thankfully there are gaps in the seaweed to navigate through assuming you can see them.
You forgot to post the video over hereI know the June group will get glass water and everything, but you might want to get prepared in case your captain has to be stupid.
My wife will kill me for posting this, but ff you are a newbie this might be useful for you, especially if young kids are on-board.
Objective: Show how an armature crew can go from good times to panic in a matter of a second.
What happened: we were playing boat soccer and in order for me to hit to ball a low as possible, I had my trim tabs 100% deployed, so to lower the bow. During a hard stbd it was all funny games, during a hard port the family went flying.
Thinks to look for:
1: once a someone cries, everyone oboard starts crying. You might want to keep that in mind. Panic spread faster than the fastest virus.
2: while @Rick215HO approach to make sure we are okay he put a wake out, and made a screwed 6 year to freak out even more.
3: notice how communication is difficult and we are on idle.
Thinks to remember before and while crossing :
1: During the crossing none will be doing donuts, but it is likely that a crew member will fly of his/her seat (happened in 2017).
2: While in the stream you will not be able to stop. If you stop, you will take water. Can you imagine the panic in the boat had we been taking water while my kids and wife were recovering!!!!
3: Communication on the stream and under full 6000 RPM will be significantly worse.
PS. I am starting to think that God led me to this forum, so I can be an example of what NOT to do while in a jet boat
You forgot to post the video over here
