i hope so, i have had bad luck from the begining off the season.
been on the water this summer a total of 3 hours and got toed in.

the one mechanic was doing wok on the side and it took him for ever to get me the boat back and then steering issues and then blown head gasket, what next the boat sinking to the bottom of the lake

i definitly don't like the steering, it sucks the way it is

the at imco mentioned the pump too, he said the pump may not be strong enough or that the hose to the resevoir is not big enough and the opening has to be mad bigger to supply more fulid to the lines, this other mechanic has put them on before and , seems to know his stuff

do you tube and wake board off your boat?

88.7 is the fastest ive seen on gps with a 5 blade may have gone a tick faster but anytime above 80 I concentrate more on keeping a hold of it than looking at the speedo. I cant find anyone that wants to tube behind it That and it doesnt have a swim platform .
