No and it is on Lake George. He mostly uses it as a lake boat. He has 8 mufflers on it so it passes.

What is in the yellow casing off the stern of Jet Set in post 23? A 'little' motor used to navigate docks and such would make sense, but it doesn't look like a motor to me. Anyone know for sure?
Thanks,
Dan

Sean is correct , it is a 60hp yahama ob with a jet pump. The turbines do not shift, start and go.

6 inches is a bit of an exageration but not by much. I live less than 5 miles from where this pic is taken. Where Superbabi's boat is is at the edge of the chanel which is about 7-9ft max. If you jumped off the front of his boat you could walk (literally) to the far end of the bridge (Toms River Bridge)with only two small channels in between. Barneget Bay is very shallow but the bottom is very soft for the most part. We used to make our gas money here as kids pulling boats out of these shallows with our boston whalers. Jet Set also chooses to run there because nobody else does.

Good point, Tantrum. My shore house is located in Toms River on the other side of the bridge so I too am quite familiar with the waters. There have been many times when I was out toolin' around on my SeaDoo (off shore directly across from Superbabi in pic above to the island house) and JetSet has blasted past me at 100++ mph in 12" to 18" of water. Cool boat and even more impressive when you see it in action!!

Happy New Year Everyone!!
Dan
