I'm liking the reverse bucket idea! Will is such a tease. Alysha's got nothing on him. Well.......maybe she's got a couple things! Lol!

I think this would replace thrust vectors. The setup I saw worked just like the Rotax setup so throwing it in reverse gives you the effect of stern thrusters. I've never driven a boat with TVs so I don't exactly know the effect of them in forward idle but I can't imagine a redesign of the reverse bucket would improve anything other than reverse

Hmmm...... I recall Will had a boat anchored outside of his shop that was sinking because the pumps and motors were removed. Could this have been the R & D boat? Could it be an entirely new pump/impeller and housing?

Newer wakeboats have that underwater wing that flips down to Act as a form of ballast by pulling the rear of the boat down in the water. Could that be something that has a common mounting place on all boats? I am dreaming because I want ballast without losing storage space... ha ha. I want to think it has to do with water sports because of will stating that it " even works on the FSH"

I don't know if our hulls are solid enough to support something like this :(

I asked them about the boat when I was at the shop a few weeks ago, that is just a hull that never had engines or anything, it was made for some promo event or something, jetboatpilot acquired it and put it in their pond with bilge pumps to keep it a float.

Didn't they just have a new baby? Irish Twins? :)

So perhaps this is the changing table mod?
Funny, but good idea. Could double as a fish cleaning table.;) Although there might be an issue with cross contamination.

I think there are two different models coming out in August. One for salt water and one for fresh water. Both work on the same concept of turning the water into ice cold beer!!!!:winkingthumbsup"
