Re: 2020 Boating Pics & Vids



Looks great! I know very little about boats, something I never really got into...got a couple of questions.
How much water do you need to run in before you're pulling a "Relic"? I realize there's no prop bouncing off rocks.
Second, why are some operating from the left and others on the right?

Jet boats it doesn’t matter which side you drive from as no prop twist .
Props are always on the right .
Water depth needed is determined on Opetator first then ,hull degree, speed , boat weight , width and so on .
Neils little boat will run in very little water .

4-6” of water with no issues once you’re moving. Need more to take off in. I personally like right hand drive boats. Never had one on the left but for some reason i think it would feel wrong

Anyone been by the Nitehawk skihill on the Wapiti lately? Looks like the whole hill slid.

Stole this from Facebook.

Mine is left side , and I’ve had 2 left side 1 right side , no difference. When I had 2 boats one was left one was right and when I switched even same day , really never even noticed the difference. No preference for me . With a jet .

Not looking good, it pushed a couple of the chair lift supports down the hill. I know business has been tough for them in the past with low snow, hopefully this isn't the straw that breaks the camels back, would be a pretty big loss to not see this hill re-open.

Stole these from the Nitehawk facebook page.

They had the cables and chairs off I case it slid. I go there with the kids in the summer and winter, and the slope on there other side has changed over the last three years. I don’t think they’re too surprised this happened.

No one got hurt that’s the main thing. A buddy just came around a corner into a log jam. Made it over a couple but plowed into this. Nothing chainsaw and a few guys couldn’t fix.
