Default Re: First boat - returning to NJ.com

Getting dingers on the boat are part of regular use. At least you have a decent story to tell about it. Scary, but no one got hurt.

What's it run on the GPS flat out speed?

Also if you run the boat in salt walt, do a thorough wash down. Of course flush the O/B. And if you use the electric motor wash that thorough and run the prop in a bucket of tap water to clean out the crevices. Electric motors are tricky. Many just remove them when on the brine. They do make special saltwater ones. But according to a story I read, with a thorough wash down the standard electric motors will continue to work fine - as you as you give it TLC to forget its salt water adventure.

PS Don't forget Sea Tow Insurance. Maybe I'll see you out there? Not running the boat for another month or more. But will get there eventually.
