Cool, I'm not too familiar with SC Rotax stuff. May be worth checking if they have the upgraded SC or not, so you know when you need to service them or not

Yeah they do have newer maintenance free ones. Once my hours are due I’ll be upgrading to those

You did good. Have a safe summer. No one is having fun if someone ends up dead or hurt. And dont let anyone rush you at the ramp. That being said, practice at the ramp on weekdays. Don’t wait till Memorial Day weekend to take your boat out for the first time.

The Egret Bay boat launch is pretty easy going.

Clear Lake Texas is where we boat a majority of the time. There’s a boat launch on Egret Bay Blvd that’ll get you in the water easy. Plus, party cove is fun for families in the morning and fun for the single crowd in the afternoons. We also haul to Canyon Lake about 3 times a summer. Crystal clear water.
