Hi girl. Great boat, lots of fun coming up. Never get out of your vehicle on
The boat ramp until you have the vehicle in park, And, the emergency brake
Firmly on. Good luck!

Always attach that motor shutoff thing to your wrist. Hold the steering wheel with both hands. At high speed it is easy to flip the boat or dump your self out. You don't want the boat running around, maybe hitting you.

Always ware your life jacket when you’re not fishing and keep all fishing gear and other stuff locked up and secure while moving

Get a battery powered bilge pump and a hand powered one, too. The Vexus team is tops in the bass boat business, as is their product. If you don’t have a ladder, have one installed. Always wear your PFD and kill switch. Be nice to the poor people.

Nice rig Laura. The guys gave you some good advise. I have the Minn Kota Ultrex on my boat & love it. Hope you have many years of great memories. Tight lines.

I agree with the others and will add always keep a sharp eye on the water in front of you when running fast and never never never make a turn without checking behind you. There are many faster boats and jet skis out there and they can seem to come out of nowhere. Most of all have fun!

Good point!
Have your head on a swivel and be aware of your surroundings!
