We are delighted you have found your way to the best Jet Boaters Forum on the internet! Please consider Signing Up so that you can enjoy all the features and offers on the forum. We have members with boats from all the major manufacturers including Yamaha, Seadoo, Scarab and Chaparral. We don't email you SPAM, and the site is totally non-commercial. So what's to lose? IT IS FREE!
Membership allows you to ask questions (no matter how mundane), meet up with other jet boaters, see full images (not just thumbnails), browse the member map and qualifies you for members only discounts offered by vendors who run specials for our members only! (It also gets rid of this banner!)
Are there any safe hotels around that area where we can put up for the night along with the boat? If we are doing a whole day of boating I would rather settle in a hotel for the night and drive home the next day.
Looking that up for you now. . . . as long as we can get you something close to the Marina, your boat will be safe there overnight. You can head back in the a.m. and grab her.
Well looks like we are in. Have not decided if we are launching from Oyster Bay or taking the drive up to join the group, if a last minute decision is ok?
Most likely coming from Oyster Bay. Any ideas where to meet up?
I have a few ideas on where to meet up. About to start another thread for confirmed attendees. We can discuss there. I will post a link here once I get it finished.
For my crew Sunday wins out. . . . Just cant risk getting rained on being 90 mins from port with temps in the 60's when I have a <2yr old and 2 other kids under 9.
We would love to host a canal event! The NYS Canal Corp. has waived all fees for recreational boaters again this year to celebrate the Canal's 200th anniversary.
Canal is scheduled to open on May 15th but that might be adjusted due to the incredible ice this winter which may have damaged some of the locks. We won't know for sure until it melts. This is the view from our backyard this week. Lock 9 is in the background.
