[QUOTE="Lennyg3, post: 264958, member: 7217"] So, It has been a long time in the making. I started this trip in the middle of February, and on May 25th, I picked my boat up for what would be the 3rd time charm (see the bottom of this thread for details https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=23662 ). Ended up spending roughly 3500 out of pocket. Sold my old motor for the cost of the new optimax. (new to me. 2004 with 180hrs.) Spent $2200 on the AR pump, and another $1100 on the hydraulic steering setup. a few hours labor, and tax. I'm not happy with the Marina, but I am happy with the results. This is the way every jet should run. It flat out gets it out of the hole. From a dead stop it takes 1, maayyybee 1 1/2 boat lengths before it is up on plane. Top end is low 50s. (fully loaded with 2 people, 3/4 tank, saw 51mph, by myself 1/2 tank light gear 53mph). can stay on plane at 3500rpms (15-17mph), and the punch from there is AWESOME! I will work on getting some video when I have a chance.
