The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

And go stainless, I had one of the plastic jobbers break on my first boat... Which made the opposing one break less than a second later.

So correction the Hornet is a 71' and it is a 17 foot. New stainless Bimini hardware and a 27/1000 battery. I am so ready to get in the water. Next weekend will be our first trip.

So my wife and I took out our new boat this weekend. We had a blast!! We went to pyramid Sunday and got on the water about 8:15 am. The boat ran flawlessly and we gps it at 62 mph at 4800 rpm. I am not new to boating but this is my first jet drive. Wow it's so much fun!!!
