I Have a AUQUA jet comming in the mail this week and I was wondering whats do most of you guys do when your boat quits in the water ? I am wondering how to get it back when it dies.Whats the best way to break it in ?.I am thinking of using O Donnell 20% racing fuel in it .I think it is ok for it.

I picked up a cheap electric boat and I use a bobber towed behind it and wrap it around the dead in the water boat,and tow it back.

A fishing pole with a top-water lure if it's close by, otherwise I have a 2-man inflatable boat. Look around and you can pick one up cheap. The last one that I got I paid $23.00 for with oars.

My problem is I run on a huge pond and they dont allow bigger boats of any kind on the water,but my electric TSUNAMI ,I got off of E bay for 25.00 shipped to me works great .My auquajet is running great .I have 1/2 a quart thru it and I added a carbon fiber prop and tuned pipe to it .It is very reliable and fast,and I added some sponge and paper towel inside incase I get water in the boat.I also added larger cooling lines so it wont overheat .I do get a little oil in the bottum ,but I guess you cant get away from that with nitro.My trucks are the same way.I drilled a small hole on the top deck over the carb and put an intake tube with a motor saver filter and splash guard for air delivery.This boat rocks .Now I need someone to race ,and maybe add some turn fins.
