Hi Doug
Yeah the importer has let the slightly larger motors on with the zx series. The new boat (zx200) with a 225HO should get up and go! (I hope )

All of the saltwater comps you do have to wear l/jackets. Not sure why the fresh water ones they don't yet, well the 2 that I have fished anyway.

Wont be long tho as the faster boats start coming. Go back 3 years ago there wasnt a tournment boat here that would do 60mph. A fast one was 45mph! How things are changing here and very fast at that!

In the very near future I can see it being compulsory to wear one anywhere when on the plan and yep I would have to agree with it. I know shot gun starts and the like have already been ban here and the boating associations are already looking at the L/jacket thing.

Anyway, thanks for your reply Doug.

Greg
