Nice! I got the same exact boat this spring. I’ve got a little boating background growing up but it was my first jet boat, and my first time in probably 10 years loading/unloading a boat.
Trailer guides-less than a $100 bucks and a absolute huge help. I’m still mastering the low speed handling/docking, they keep ya from getting over the sides of the bunks. We get a pretty strong south/North Sea breeze and the ramp is East west, so the boat gets sideways in a hurry. I just approach real slow. If no one is around I’ll try to line it up perfectly and park it, so I can go get my trailer, usually takes a couple tries. If it’s busy I get the bow close enough to hop on the ramp/dock and just muscle it in. Looks pretty rookie/dumb but whatever, keeps me from dinging up the boat and keeps things moving faster on those busy days no one has patience.
Second the fenders, get as many as you can. Learned that lesson the hard way at a shitty dock. Scratched the shit out of my graphics, luckily no gel coat damage but it’s been a month and I’m still pissed at myself for it.
I’ve found some of that marine vinyl cleaner/protectant works pretty well. I’ve started using it after every outing.
Some rookie mistakes from me-make sure to put your clean out plugs back in when going to the water. It’s pretty self critiquing when you got no thrust and it’s noisy as hell, but it’s embarrassing if you have guests. Make sure both motors actually start. I I got out of the no wake zone and pushed them up to the stops and barely got on plane, immediately powered down knowing something was wrong. Looked down, no RPM on #1. Duhhhhh. Looked like a idiot in front of the friends. If you got people that don’t know what there doing helping be very specific. My buddies wife untied the 15ft foot dock line like I asked, but just left it sitting there, pulled the boat out and the line got caught under the trailer tire. Ruined the line, thankfully it didn’t damage the cleat/fiberglass. I thought it was common sense, I wasn’t mad and she felt horrible, but looking back she did exactly what I told her to do, so my fault.
Enjoy the boat!
