[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 382158, member: 1523"] I'd still consider belts. It isn't the speed that hurts but the sudden stop when you find bars and other dumb stuff. Lots of jet guys have eaten consoles or went over the front end arse over tear kettle in small outboard jets. To fish I'd ditch the racing seats and get some decent Tempress high backs with 3/4" posts. That's what I did, just move the seats to where you are fishing from. Mount a post socket in the front and frame a post socket on the intake with a partial dog box around the engine for the GIB's feet. A front trolling mount would be easy enough to fab on as well. Some antislip tape on the front would be good enough for me to fish it. [/QUOTE]
