Got the Nauticus SportTabs SX for my Baja Blast jet boat. Lots and lots of good things I've read about them. And yes I ordered 'em off of iBoats :0)

Call the guy at nauticus. I can't remember his name maybe Greg. He will get u to email him your pic and he will email back to you your pic with a specific location marked for install. They are very helpful

Yeah he is helping me out. We think we have a spot but I gotta find out about the upper bracket mount. Not sure how high it is supposed to mount.

I know about the good things on OBs and I/Os, but pardon my ignorance - why would you need them on a jetboat? And further, OMG what about backing up?

Re: WHOO HOO!! Ordered my SportTabs!!

This boat is horrible to plane, and isn't any fun to keep on a plane because you pretty much have to be full out. I've read where other jet boat users have used these on similar boats and got great results. Not really concerned about backing up since I don't really do it.

The ride plate was adjusted with no effect.

Not familiar with Baja Blast, but from what you said it must be terribly underpowered. How long and how many HP? Let us know how the tabs work...

14' Sport Jet 90hp. A real powerhouse :(

Think I am going to get it all fixed up and running right then sell it.
