Title: Yamaha AR230 High Output
Post by: Agent|Austin on July 02, 2008, 14:19:39

This is the boat my uncle owns (that I got to drive on vacation)

Top Speed (that I got it to): 55 mph

We did have to tow a friends boat and out intakes got clogged, it is a jet boat and our port engine over heated... At least we got out of the weeds. (And no one though of having a paddle on board)

I was actually very impressed with how fast it slowed down with no reverse thrust.

I also liked the addition of a swimming steps on the stern. Oh and I had to dive off the boat once. I was taking some wake boards off the rack and the strap fell in the water  :o Atleast I got it but I dove in with sun glasses on so there is a fish wearing sun glasses now.  :-[

Yes, and you see Duel engines also.  :P

If you are wondering about gauges
