What kind of jet boat

and the non exhistant channel that takes you to the matanzas river.

I'm looking at the map the park gave me, comparing it to my blue chart and looking for the channel markers that it's showing are "supposed" to be there. so here I am dodgeing oyster beds and BAM! 3 inches of water on a sand bar.

this makes twice I've run aground in St. auggie at about 25-30 mph.

only this time it was in a boat. my poor boys wen flying forward and almost went over the bow.

Later I learned that the intake on a jet boat also works as a great way to suction yourself to the bottom in shallow water, even at idle.

I wont be putting in a Faver Dykes again.

At least you had some "quality time" with the kids, right?

Done. Ready for front foot strap install & turf. But I don't understand how this could be done "properly" in a weekend.

fresh resin ratio'd with scales mixed thoroughly.

how are you installing your strap? inserts, or something else?

Not likely....no waves in the forecast. Oh yea, I forgot, you don't need waves anymore!!!!

 

[FlightPlanDan]

All done except for the rail caps.
We decided to use the stock caps, stock dash with the FFH cut thru, and even the stock wier piece in back. It looks like a factory option from yamaha IMO.
Butti is a true artist!
Just deciding what to use to glue the caps on.
