That's cool. So are they removable? Those fenders are going to make it fun retrieving your boat at the river.

The No Wake Zone / Re: Throttle controls
« on: July 15, 2014, 09:03:55 AM »Lol no I have not driven a jet boat with hand controls. Why is it so difficult
Sent from my SCH-I535 using SoCal Jet Boats mobile app
The easy answer for me is, in a jet boat you use reverse a lot in slow speed maneuvering combined with the throttle. Hand controls require you to do all this while pulling out a knob to allow the reverse bucket to drop so you can control the boat with reverse. PITA like GT said.

He try to rape people. I wanted a set of 460 valve cover and he wAntes 400 dollars for them.
That was a different guy in Redlands. He was a real cook! I got my sleek craft from him after he gutted it.

I've never tried to pull my starter in the boat, but maybe if you pull the header out of the way you can un bolt it, leaving the bolts in the starter until you slide it out. Other wise your lifting the motor high enough to get to it.
As far as what to replace it with, I would have what's there rebuilt. I run a mini starter on mine and I have to shave about 3/8" off the corner of the starter to clear the tunnel. I don't know if the Daytona's have more clearance, but in my Ultra, there's no way I see a stock size starter fitting.

The No Wake Zone / Re: Foam in the bow remove or not?
« on: July 11, 2014, 10:07:59 AM »I have a 79 south wind, it has what looks like industrial strength beach balls made out of some thing like a water bed mattress would be made of.These are what I was describing when I called them pillows. I like these the best. They weigh nothing, don't wrought and will definitely float the nose in the event of an accident.

Something easy and durable is car tire inner tubes. You can get all different sizes and they can be lashed together to fill the nose pretty easily. Plus they're durable. Make sure there's nothing sharp to poke holes in them like screws holding on the rub rail, or something coming through the bulk head. I think Harbor Freight sells the small ones for trailer tires. Other people use those foam noodles, but they will eventually die and turn to shit, plus they can be kind of pricey if you buy enough to fill the nose. If you can find the ones used by boat manufactures back in the 70's-80's they were like air filled pillows about 16" square, made out of a pretty thick vinyl. Those work great IMO, but don't know where to get them.

It was probably just before noon. You were probably still sleeping off the Fireball from the night before. 
I met up with Steve86ta and his group and hung out for a while. They were up above the 10. Then we went back to jungle beach for the afternoon.
Heard you guy's, or at least Bob came up to the beach Friday I think. We were up river by the damn most of that day.

The Parker Strip / Re: Camping on the river?
« on: July 02, 2014, 10:43:37 PM »It depends on what you want out of the river. You want rocks and a lot of hot rod boats above the dam is good. We have some hot rod boats and sandy beaches as far as the eye can see. I call Mac home and I love it there. Can't knock it till ya try it.

Jake, Jake, Jake, put the Nos bottle back in the boat and let your head clear!
Hallett 1974, Jake's obviously started into the Fireball way early. The river below the diversion dam sucks ass! Not recommended for boats PERIOD! Crocodiles, snakes, even sharks, so thick you could walk on them. Plus, there is no such thing as a beach. Shear cliffs, jagged rocks, riptides! Nope, not recommended for boats, especially jet boats.
Now Buckskin!!.....I hear that place is off the hook! Naked supermodels everywhere and the water tastes just like Coors Light! Ya, that's where the real boaters go!!! Just lookin out for you bro.
