What is your top speed now?View attachment 178331
Finished pre-season prep and dropped her at the slip today! Took a short cruise around the lower James River south of Richmond. Felt very good. Recaptured 6-7 mph from a clean hull with a coat of ceramic spray.
Had @JetBoatPilot thrust vectors and lat thrusters installed…that was a nice upgrade. Tracks very well at low or no wake speed…no need for constant correction. Can cruise while both arms leaning on the windshield and only the occasional tap on the wheel. Docking was like a different boat. It’s still docking but much improved.
Good first outing. Hot weekend incoming.
marine fuel was 499 at the dock I was pleasantly surprised (that sounds ridiculous regardless but well, ya know…)
