Just got out on my SX190 with the jetboatpilot latetal thrust enhancers on it. All I can say is that they live up to the claims and really make an incredible difference in how the boat handles in reverse. I didn't notice in decrease in straight reverse control and turning the steering wheel in reverse really causes the boat to quickly turn. I believe this will make me less nervous about backing into the beach with a lot of boats anchored.

Good job Will and @JetBoatPilot
 
Thanks Rusty! I am glad to start getting some field data from single engine guys! We've been getting tons of good feedback on the twins and I was hoping to get some single engine data before summer got here! Enjoy!
 
Glad to hear good reports on the lateral thrusters and the SX190. I ordered them for my SX190 and hope to get them before too much longer.......

Will @JetBoatPilot any idea when the orders will be shipping out?
 
Just spoke with foundry yesterday and they should be shipping a partial batch this week. We still have to get them machined and annodized. Hope to ship very soon.
