Good luck Stoker. BP is trying to get more clamp ons to come. Something about showing pity on a poor old jet boat driver also.
I can picture now all of the pity that you or Bill Henderson have been saving up for him.

Update: got the "go ahead" to plan for Phoenix last saturday. Before testing we had to prop test a couple of customers bass boats before making any passes with the hydro so after the rain Sunday we went to the river. The boat I was driving cut a hard right at 45/50 mph and chunked me out the left side. No life jacket, no kill switch, and lots of pain...concussion, broke collar bone, fracture in left hand, internal bruising, water in lungs, hyperextension to legs, hips, and lower back. Worst part of the incident was the prop got involved and cut a groove along the top of my left hand (the fracture came from slamming against the cavitation plate). I never thought a slow boat could inflict so much pain, and never considered wearing a jacket. Just 2 weeks before I laid down 155 in the Hydro on the same river.
