While pulling my lady on the wakeboard. Some low free board jet boat comes right in front of me and puts the rooster in the air. Well needless to say, I am towing a boarder and I can not see. Soaked the entire inside of the boat. Wallet, phone, stereo everything, WET. Can you guys please have some courtesy out there. Just because I drive a wake board boat does not mean I am an a$$. We all have to share the same water ways.
Thanks for letting me vent.

I never did anything to this guy. He just rolled by and I think without thinking putit up in the air and roosted my boat. It is OK I have a mental picture of the boat and when I finally pull my jet out of the garage it is on.

I get along with most everyone. I have a jet boat and a wakeboard boat. You just get these guys from time to time that have no idea what they hell they are doing. The area where we were at was small and he really had no where to go. However you should all be reposible for what out boat does. Wake, Roost whatever.
I hate whackers! :argue: :) :) :)

Yep thats her.....I know those damn whackers run forever, so I cant justify upgrades as easily as I did with the jet. Well the _____ broke so Let me put a bigger better one in :wink:

I hear you on that one. Harder to work on, that is for sure. That's the cool thing with Jets is that you can bascially do everything yourself. To work on the whackers you need ELF hands.

but thats only when you have to work on them....300 hrs and all it has needed has been normal service. We did the heads jsut because, but other than that it starts everytime and has been very reliable.

Good to know, but I will still never own one. We just bought the Nautique and it is the same thing, starts everytime, quite and pulls like a mother. Nothing beats the handling of a direct drive. It corners and turns like its on rails. Just not fast enough to catch the damn Jet boats that spray water all over the place.

Me too. It sucks to be able to run WFO all day and not use lots of fuel. Twin big blocks are much better. :notam:
Then again, when you're only running 40 mph, what's the point of a great power plant anyway, right??? :D

That's right Jordy! No reason to run over 45 mph. Just got to make sure they start everytime out.

That's it!! At least you have the place. We were going to meet at Blythe, half way for both of us. I can just imagine my a$$ sitting there waiting for the guy, and he never shows.
Well worst case I would be at the river, so I could not get that mad.

It was at Mojave about three weeks ago! It was a blown solid red with a yellow strip boat. I looked like a Hallett, but not sure. I would know the boat if I saw it again, and it had AZ numbers.

It wasn't me. I have a race nozzle and no jetovator. Besides, I am the biggest wuss when it comes to doing stuff like that. I don't want anyone stopping by my boat and doing anything to it to get back at me while I am not around. :burningm:

You know. One time these guys were fishing, and no one else was on the lake but us and them.
The water was as smooth as a babies butt. We had been skiing all day long and running low on fuel.
Well, I'm driving and my bro is skiing. So I'm thinking. I'll take him right by the fisherman so he can show them what he's got.
So he lays down an awesome set and throws a 10 foot wall of water right over the top of their fishinboat. Soaks the shit out of em.
They just got drenched!
Guess what? Our boat runs out of fuel. Right then!
So my brother sits in the water with his ski, right by the fisherman,
and guess what? Our boat is out of gas.
So my brother yells at us and says, "What's up?" So I say, "Where out of fuel."
So he looks at the fisherman and says, "How about a tow?" :D
Now that's boating. :crossx:
