    @bluebaiter222 Yeh absolutely no problems with the Scott units or with the engines running at full noise, as one of the mates has ran his at full boost since it left his shed floor & we use our Jets hard a lot as we have Fiordland at our back doors & hulls are set up for winch & lift use etc. I set mine up for hunting expeditions & reliability more than high end noise, so have been more than happy with the build/set up & will not ever sell it now or wind the boost up ,as it is perfect for me & the missus/mate & hounds doing overnighter or longer hunting expeditions pushing into to Tiger Country & balances all the performance Vs reliability requirements we have .

    I have also always been really careful with maintenance on all my gear but in particular my boats, as having spent so much time in remote waters in PNG & Kimberley's etc ,where no one is coming to help any time soon & lots of biteys to happy to clean up the scene if the worst happens ,the old motto you can not get out & push them home is what l operate on & it is always a lot easier to work on them in your shed than on a river bank.

    While using our Jets for example Wap hunting every year & using our winch systems, in the early days the rescue mobs would get calls from boaters & pilots reporting crashed/lost boats in the trees, as they could not believe where we reach ,luckily we twigged to this happening before hand & let every agency & week end warrior know before hand in writing & by phone & face To face to avoid any Panty Wetting. The Scotts handle blasting through rubbish well ,but like any unit you treat them like a Concrete Pump & you will have prob's.

    We used the Scotts before hand on 3.6m jets we ran they have never given any probs & one mate is still using his old unit ,we only went up in hull size as extended hunting trips using the Jets became a regular for us ,now with the new Bach surrounded by prime Jet country ,l am looking at adding a 4.1/4.2 in the shed for easy river trips with a couple of extra mates thrown in with us & will have no probs running another Scott unit when l do the refit of it .
