I remember the exhibition circle race we did for the NJBA and the safety guy just looked at us like we're crazy for not running any of this hardware, or ballistic shorts.

Yeah I think it all sounds good I'm not sure I have the room to install the ratchet.  I would feel a lot better with one.

Why?
97% of the boats on the water don't have one.

How much power are you planning? Just roll out of the throttle slow. Jmo but the jet a way still doesn't help with shut down. It will help you if the motor shuts off at high speeds. It works....... Kind of. If you want something to help you with shut down you need a pop off.

What do you mean by kind of.  They are not cheap and a pain in the ass to make required changes.

I agree. It's a pain in the ass to make work and expensive. Don't get me wrong, they do there job. But, I've still had mine shut down hard as hell on me with the ratchet. For the extra money I would go with a pop off if possible. They do a much better job of shutting the boat down.

  That boat should not have a problem shutting down. I know lupo had about 1/8 or so inch of keel added to it.
