One picture of your last outing.

@Sly J had a video he made during a W O T run with no hands on the wheel in his 2018 SX195 equipped with the C J S VIPER steering to demonstrate the straight tracking it provided.
He was having difficulty posting the video in this thread so he sent it to me to post, here it is https://youtu.be/fZBY-T6Sic8
I also encourage others to share their videos so people can try to get an idea of just how powerful and effective this system really is. Sadly he said he had drone video but he already erased it , I would have enjoyed seeing that video.
 
Might have been a little to foggy sunday to be out on the gulf here in Fl.

I just spent 3 days out on the water, nothing unusual about that I will probably be out there tomorrow also as long as I get caught up with orders today.
So yesterday I was at my usual spot expecting a crowd of people due to the really nice weather, low 80's and the water in the mid 70's I actually had a real short sleeve shirt on rather than the ones with the sleeves cut off. But no one beside me showed up with a ski, lots of fishermen and kayaks even some sail boarders.
So I practiced my usual run of tricks standing on the seat driving with no hands and steering with my feet etc.. I noticed a family with a teenage girl trying to learn the sail board thing so I stayed clear of them for safety reasons.
As the day went on I noticed the girl walking toward me telegraphing great apprehension on her face so I knew she was probably going to ask if I would give her a jet ski ride. And I was correct .
So I asked her if those two people she was with were her parents assuming they were , but she said no they were not, HMMMM I did not want to give a teenager a ride without parental consent so I asked her just exactly how old are you?
To my shock and amazement she answered 36! OOPS! I was embarrassed to say the least and she got her ride.
All I can say is it sucks to get old ! This is a true story because you just can't make this stuff up.
 
Chillin' in a little cove all to myself and beautiful colors. I knew I should have brought my Canon DSLR because my iphone sucks for picture and video quality.

Nice pic @DieselCamel ! I like your boat too. What are all the eyelet drains for along the hull? Does it have a bunch of bilge pumps and cockpit bail ports or something. Sorry I'm not familiar with the World Cat boats so I'm sorry if this is a stupid question lol.

Thanks. Yes, they are deck drains. So if you ever take a wave. The water is removed quickly.
 
Getting her prepped for Winterizing... a sad last outing for the year.

We went out Sunday as well that pic doesn't do justice to how thick that fog was. We were running out about 15 miles to do some fishing and took us nearly an hour because of visiblity. Whenever I tried to speed up, a random fishing boat would appear out of almost nowhere
