I cannot even begin to tell use guys how smooth the power and overall ride is on this tub!

The amount of power available is truly amazing!

I was worried about docking. Its easier then the blower motors.
After all ya got brakes! I come in on one screw and just brake to stop and release to pick up speed.

On one screw at idle it limps at 4mph.
