Post by: WORD on April 30, 2008, 06:13:07 PM: Thanks for the warm welcome Tom!!! I appreciate all of youy knowledge!!!! For everyone else...I feeel like I know all of you. I have been reading all the threads, looking at all the pictures, etc. and have learned alot just from that. I am not new to boating.....I have lived on 80 foot houseboats, had mastercrafts, Donzi's, etc. 2 years ago bought my first jet boat. Fell in love immediately. I am addicted. I will post some pics when I figure out how. I am from Atlanta, GA....Lake Lanier. If anyone has been watching the news, we have no water. Out of 120 public ramps....12 are now open.

Again, I really enjoy reading about everyones issues, resolutions, etc. This is a great website

Title: Re: Newby
Post by: WORD on April 30, 2008, 07:01:32 PM: Unfortunaly I am starting to think the same thing, LOL. I do have a question thought. I am asking these questions because there are very jet boats out my way. What would you consider a bad hook. 1/12 of an inch, 1/ of an inch, etc.

I really think I may get fired from my job from spending too much time this websit!!!!

God, I freakin love this site!!!!
Title: Re: Newby
Post by: 76 Bonneville on April 30, 2008, 08:26:03 PM: Welcome to the site. I have a 3 pt in one of my boats and its fine, no complaints. I've even slamed it into waves / wakes so hard that the motor flames out, no problems. It just doesn't look as cool as the other boat.
Title: Re: Newby
Post by: jet boat performance on April 30, 2008, 08:48:09 PM: Josh my research shows nothing for the search "Colorado custom" BUT! it could be that thats what happens in Colorado when a title gets issued to a boat with out an original title ?? Calif calls it "special constuction" give me the serial number (upper right of the transom) and I (or anyone here can run it thru tthe Coast guard Data base (PM it if your more confortable) Tom

Welcome BTW see I told you these Guys don't Bite ! ;D

Title: Re: Newby
Post by: WORD on May 02, 2008, 10:42:39 AM: Yes it does. there are very few jet boats my way, when I pull into Cocktail cove, where there are usually about 1,000-2,000 boats raising hell. Everyone stops what they are doing and just stares. Even the meat-heads in the half million $ cigarette boats!!!!!!
