Looks like standard pedal deal to me. Left one is down peddle....the other one you may as well forget about unless the circle guys tell you different.
Will you race this under super stock rules or just use as a lake/river deal?

I was always told to never, ever, ever touch the middle peddle.

Actually once your use to the boat you can set the turnbuckles where you like the plates to be and get rid of all the peddles except the go fast one. The plus side of this is that your left foot is use to doing nothing anyway seeing as most jet boats drive themselves :argue: :) .

Now I don't know anything about circle boats but I thought surely you guys used the plate to "set" the boat after the turn and then also used the down to slow the boat going into the turn.

is it just me or is that lock out handle really that HUGE. Seems like something to get your leg caught on if you ever get tossed. Might want to think about doing something a little different in that area.

Thats a "run of the mill" nicson lockout handle. If you switch it out for say a 10 position finishline you should be able to sell the nicson. :cool:

Dave, that is a Glenwood handle and yes they are tall but they are good, I had one once and all I did was shorten it half the lenght, real easy to do and it still looks original!..

Where were you two months ago? :D
I bought mine off Moneypitt and I am pretty happy with it, especially since the handle is out of the way of your leg.

The middle pedal activates the fart fan, so when you shit yourself on the top end you'll have some fart fan relief going hard into the turns!! :)
