Hello
I just purchased my first boat it?s a small 1996 Sugar Sand Heat 120hp jet for $2000. I?ve been looking all over the internet for information on using a boat like this in South Padre Island on the bay side. My wife and I spend about 2 month out of the year down there windsurfing. But when the wind is not blowing we need something ells to do. So I thought this would be a good first boat for pooling a tube or fishing. The bay side is usually is only about 5 to 4? deep and the good fishing spots or about 2? deep. The bay side does have some weeds. We do have to use weed fins for the windsurf boards. But after thinking about it I really don?t see any jet boats on the bay side anther than jet skis and most boats or flat bottom fishing boats. So I?m looking for advice on using this boat in South Padre Island.
Thank you for your time
Mike
