Status: offline 		they are both owned by the same company, so they should be the exact same. just add a boat to your shopping cart on each and check shipping costs from there and pick the cheaper one

Status: offline 		Wrangle boy, I've tried the 5 min epoxy, no good, chips when hit. Did that with some automotive stuff too, same problem. You want something that holds yet has a bit of flex due to the hits you will implement on the boat. Go with goop, best thing is, it can be pulled out of boat if you ever pull drive out etc. No damage, but still need to do carefully and slowly. The epoxy stuff does not want to come out, u need to grind with dremel for some. If u ever pull out goop, grab needle nose, pinch and bit in the pliers and just rotate the pliers and it will come up off the plastic(or glass).

Ivan.

Status: offline 		Well I took one out today and stock they are a bit anemic to say the least. It was able to play in the waves though, some tweeking and it will be a ton of fun!

A few pics from today. sorry for the bad quality but the sun had already set







What bearing are you guys using to replace the bushing in this jet unit?

if you want westbeach you can use some company (whatever's cheapest to ship from USA to CA) to calculate shipping to zip code 98229 (washington state) and ship it to me and i could "forward" it to you for maybe cheaper than what they want for shipping

Yep it got up on Plane no problem, it moved at about 10-12 mph and handled quite predictably even with the stock radio equipment, sorry no video. I have the other one still in stock form and I will try to video it tomorrow

Thanks for the offer too, maybe you can drive my NDQ over to the Island from Port Angeles. I might have to send out my DF Storm half way to meet up the little jet boat.
Cheers!

That appears to be about 1/2 throttle or less. I was getting some good air off of the waves with just a few feet of run up. Like I said after I get done with work today Ill see if I can con the wife into helping me get a video

Both of mine actually have decent control on both the steering and the throttle. I could cruise around with throttle control.
