Any ideas on what those 2 handles do?

Don't they give a guy sitting in the middle seat something to hold on to while the driver is ripping along at high speed?

No idea what the handles are for other than something to hold onto.

 

Sweet new boat though skunked! Seems like all the KC area guys have bought boats in the last 2 years.

Ejector seat release cords. Don't mess with them.

Oh Shat handles!!!

Oh Shat handles!!!

My 4 year old niece calls them "AHHH!!" handles 

Yep, handles for the non-drivers to somewhat remain in the seat during the "fun" rides...had to use those on a few occasions

That is Reggie's first boat and I like to know what everything does. I didn't mess with the handles much but for some reason I was thinking seat release or something. Eject a**hole in boat sounds good too.

If you  don't know what those do I suggest you don't try to fix anything yourself on the boat lol

As stated before, they are the "oh crap" handles. 

That's a good looking ranger they are definitely top of the line in my eyes

Staying firmly planted in the seat on rough water is a very good thing. Those handles are essential if you are going to do that. Your back will thank you...

Stuff like removing the motor, replacing steering cables.... rebuilding the carbs, water pump impeller ( which is super easy BTW)? I'll keep that in mind.
