Going out for my 1st time with the boat. Should the initial voyage have any problems, my Sea Tow account is in effect!!! LOL!!! Will try to get vids of the girl in action. Plan on many fun and exciting days with her!!!

I have the 05 version of your boat...I took my "maiden" voyage the other day..All smiles...I would suggest getting some "rub rail" protection until you get the hang of pulling up to the dock (mine took a beating)...

Yeah, I have a couple bumpers should I need them. I remember my last jet boat, it was classic trying to get up to the dock!!! :blush:

Im glad I read this posts,

My poor boat took a beating when launching I crashed into trees at Puddingstone Lake, rocks, the dock... It was embarrassing..

Try This

Instead of just aiming for the dock, pull parallel to it, then reverse with the wheel cocked toward the dock. The boat should ease right up to the doc stern first. On departure, same deal - reverse with wheel pointed away from dock, should ease the bow away then go forward when the boat is 45 degrees to the dock.
