The upgraded Hinckley JetStick 3® provides seamless integrated control of both the bow thruster and the jet drive. This provides full JetStick maneuverability for docking and navigating in crowded harbors and moorings.

Since 2021 she has received similar excellent care at Safe Harbor Dauntless Shipyard, Essex, CT, including heated indoor winter storage.
