Good looking boat.

Just remember the drain plug. That is always a good start. Lol

Be careful driving a jet, no power means no turning. Get a feel for it before you get around other people and boats.

I did learn my lesson on the plug that day and controlling it was difficult but i managed. I took it out again today for practice, the lake was completely empty. It was nice.
