Water was a little high, pretty cold too! But the weather was nice and hot so the cold water felt good. I hear ya on headers and interior. My boat's a work in progress. Doing little bit at a time. Got a reliable motor and pump, everything else can wait. Still feel pretty redneck running around in those seats. Plus they beat the crap out of you in rough water lol. Gonna do seats in July and hopefully paint this winter. Try to get some coated headers sometime in between. I want glass seats from Luckie Stiff, but Momma wants traditional jet boat upholstery. Traditional is way expensive, even in Mexico! Fiberglass is much tougher and lighter. So we'll see what happens!
