    Jet Wings

    The intake fins will help with cavitation in choppy water or when turning sharply. The wings do help funnel water into the motor. Should you happen to flatten one on a rock, get a big hammer and bang it back into shape. I've not lost power due to cavitation since installing them several...

    Looking for feedback on Lowe Roughneck 1760 CJ

    Redfire. I own a 2010 lowe 1760 cj. It's a great boat. New, it was around 17K. I had the factory add the camo paint and gatot skin to the floors. I like the two stroke motor. If it happens to cavitate it just keeps reving . My buddy's optimax begins to shut down upon cavitation. We...
