A 1/4 mile pass is all it takes...With (new) plugs! And if ya don't have a 1/4 mile marker setup...then after mashing the motor, just count to 10 or 15...that should be in the ball park.

I don't know........but isn't that a long time?
I tkink counting to 20 or25 would be more accurate lol..And furthermore camp far west fathers day saw a jet boat racing an outboard hydro (losing) motor coughs through the carb shuts off heads right toward the beach where boats are anchored kids swimming.Saw panic in the guys eyes he turns the steering wheel nothing happens he jumps on the bow than jumps off boat t-bones a flat sitting on the anchor...Fortunatly no one was hurt..Yes a prop will cut you up.. butif i had a jet boat i would not run close to shore as i wouldnt in my flat....

Well first off I wouldn't even think of a WOT pass near land, Trees or another Boat.
I think I might have killed some Fish, but cant say for sure.
Which head do you want me to use?
Thanks for the motor tuning tips on my 60 to 70mph Hydro, I`ll be sure to pass it a long that we don't need to do this anymore because you said so. 60 to 70 LMAO!!!
Did he say something about 100? Here we go again! http://free.***boat.net/ubb/smile.gif
BTW: I`ll be at the Herington Race this weekend look us up!

I couldn't agree more with you,prop's are more than just fine,last year 90mph. 3/4 throttle on a worn 275 RUDE with only 300hp. This year rebuilt engine, she is going over a 100---no problem, going to the Okanagan this year and will troll looking for victim's....( . )( . )..KIM HANSON...

Well first off I wouldn't even think of a WOT pass near land, Trees or another Boat.

You lost me on that one http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies...confused24.gif and what do you mean by did I get rid of that boat on here yet? I didnt know I had one on here for sale http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies...confused24.gif
I have a jet too and if i run WOT cut key my boat will go straight. One day i lost a motor it locked up tight the pump stopped the boat made a hard left. So from my personal experence if the motor just stops the boat will go straight if the motor locks up and stops the pump the boat will make a hard left or right turn
