I'm still betting on a reverse bucket & after watching this scarab handle I may go down to my local guy & have the 'BRP-like' bucket installed on mine!

What they failed to mention in the video was the 8 months the guy had to wait while his dealer tried to figure out how to stop the engines from throwing codes every 15minutes.

Bad experience? I thought the rotax had a good track record?

The Rotax engine seems to have a good reputation in aviation as it's used in many kit and homebuilt airplanes. I think it's just the marinized version that suffers a bad rep.

Never knew they existed in aviation. I learn stuff everyday. But I'm not soaring high in the sky on a brp with my past experience!

@bronze_10 I can assure you that we're not looking at anything associated with reverse gates. But I do think I may need another test boat since the one I have here is going to have to go back to Georgia in a few weeks. I think he's local.

Hey guys -- I have some ideas for some new parts -- Anyone want to loan me THIER boat? @JetBoatPilot must be a really great guy as multiple people are throwing their boats at him. Speaks mountains about what type of guy he must be / or company he runs. either that -- or everyone wants to in on the secret -- but even then... no one has offered me their boat -- much less people willing to deliver it from the neighboring state. pretty cool.
