New to jet'n...?'s pics

[73cv19]

First of all I don't even have my boat home yet, Its a 73cv19/455 {glastron]
It has Right hand drive....what are the down sides to that besides possibly not being able to put a foot throttle on it?
How about the spin or torque of the engine and being on the Right side...will it make it tilt more or less to the right or not matter?
How about using the jet nozzle or bell as a step to board the boat when in deep water..... will it be able to handle more than 220 lbs.?
Here are some pics showing that the rails and ladder have been removed at time of restoration. Thanks in advance!

Put the battery and the beer cooler on the left side (beer cooler within reach tho ) and it'll be fine.
You can step on the pump without huting it. If you FALL on it tho, it WILL hurt YOU (and I can assure you, it won't care). Be very careful to not slip on the rideplate (cut foot) or the bowl (bashed knee, face, or jewels )
Very nice looking boat. Welcome to the drama center that IS HB.

Thanks for the good news smokinlowriderss, puts to bed what sum dumb arss knows about torque and pump spin, yah the beer will be real close with no top on her...the boat that is...and maybe topless others also. Will be lookin for a ladder tho.
I'm not sure how the one side handle works yet dooho, I suppose would work like a stern drive?

I've seen quite a few pics of jets being lifted via a sling around the pump, so I'm sure it'll support quite a bit more than 220... Just in case your girls bring any friends Welcome to HB...
