What is the feedback on the swim ladder and jet bow thruster regarding growth of marine life, barnacles and such? I’d think with so much standing water in the ladder storage area and thruster pipeline, that issues would develop in short order. Thanks

[@IslandPacketYachts]

Great question! We paint the bow thruster with the same anti-barrier paint the hull is painted with. As for the swim ladder, it is actually above the waterline, so unless someone leaves it deployed, it should remain marine life free.

[@evankrhodes]

Man I love it!!

[@IslandPacketYachts]

So do we! Thank you for the comment!

[@TheNickthekid123456]

Are those all the boat through-hulls on the bottom of the transom by the ladder?

[@IslandPacketYachts]

Yes they are!

[@willyum1208]

does the jet thruster use less power than a traditional bow thruster?

[@IslandPacketYachts]

Great question. Unfortunately it does not, the jet thruster does have a significantly higher power draw, and requires 2 31 batteries as opposed to the 1 battery the traditional bow thruster uses.

[@Rottingboards]

@@IslandPacketYachts I'm guessing the drag is much less during sailing with jet thrusters.

[@cat30285]

Im sure you can get an Island Packet star or compass rose on the in-cabin dining table

[@IslandPacketYachts]

We may just have too! Thanks for the comment!

Just some advise: It's not necessary for the camera person to keep the speaker in frame on these boat tours. The speaker is not the subject of the video, the boat is. There were lots of things the speaker was pointing to and speaking about that were barely in frame, and certainly not in frame enough to examine in any detail.

[@IslandPacketYachts]

Thank you for your comment. We will try to do better next time!
