First time out since we bought her 2 weeks ago. First time driving a jet boat, never going back to prop! Also I'm never putting on fins, I can swing this thing around 180 and dock so easy. Loving it.

On a side note, after reading this forum everyday, I sealed all the places everyone was talking about getting leaks before she saw water. After pulling her out, halfway up the ramp I pulled the drain plug and not one drop of water came out.
 
I wish that my 2015 had your steering wheel. Its the only major complaint that I have with mine. I am about to bite the bullet and buy one.

Its a cheap plastic, and the dividers have rough edges. I had an AR192 with the upgraded wheel and it was much higher quality.
