We have a similar cat and tried to take him out on Lake Gaston, VA, but he did not like the noise of the engines. Does your cat go out with you or just stay at the dock?
This was his first time on the boat, which was tied up to the dock. He seemed super curious - hopped aboard by himself while I was grabbing something from the house. Next time I may fire up the engines and see how he reactsWe have a similar cat and tried to take him out on Lake Gaston, VA, but he did not like the noise of the engines.

Duuude. As a redhead, my skin hurts looking at this photo lol. Put that SPF on!
Fyi, it is unsafe for some one to be on the swim platform while underway and while the engines are running, due to carbon monoxide. It can be very dangerous and can result in desthFinally got her broke in! Turns out I DO have a lot to learn about driving a jet boat.

There are a lot of threads on it here discussing the topic.
Also nice boat !
You'll get it!... Take her out a bunch of times... Like we discussed before there are things out there to help you too. The thrust vectors or Cobra are both great options if you find you need the assistance.Finally got her broke in! Turns out I DO have a lot to learn about driving a jet boat.

I went 2 years without Cobra, got a great feel for the boat. In the end, I ended up buying to help more with tracking on-plane! I find I do not have to be constantly correcting for course the way I needed to in the past while on-plane; low speed maneuverability improvements are just the icing on the cakeYou'll get it!...
