did you do any hard turns when you went our riding?? :lol: ive got a boat similar to yours just the 18x60 version... your definitely going to need some kind of grab bar of some sort! ive yet to get one on mine, but im sure you will see where they come in handy when playing in the mud and making tight turns at good speeds ;)

most of the stuff we ran yesterday was at slow speeds...

a grab bar is nice to have for when runnin narrow sloughs where its hard to turn quick standing

watch running the motor forward with the reverse lock down. And i would never run a grab bar on mine, but that is my preferance
