One picture of your last outing.

Yeah....I deflate our tubes now. I bought a Dewalt electric blower....fills a HUGE tube in about 2 minutes!!!!

Thanks. Do you know the model # of the DeWalt?
thanks again.

I had my new to me boat out on the water for the first time yesterday. Dialing in the Perfectpass/ballast and getting familiar with the boat. 56degree air temp. Water at my small local lake is so low I had to tie off at the end of the boat ramp dock, hoping for some rain this spring.

Our new 195S getting put in the water for the first time! Looks like a toy on that fork lift. BTW they said that could pull out a 40,000lb boat!!

Oh man. Love it. I’m next on the list for the same exact boat. Just waiting……..
Beacon Light Marina has only gotten one so far. Wasn’t mine unfortunately.

Oh wow. That’s like a leaf blower.
Is it long like a leaf blower

You likely can remove that first straight section and dramatically shorten it, and it's also likely nowhere near as long as you have pictured in your head. Dunno if it's 12v or 20v, but I have the Milwaukee M12 shop blower and it's way smaller then I thought it would be, maybe from my fingertips to my elbow. I have never used it for blowing up any tubes, so I can't comment on it for that purpose, but @Julian has recommended that on several occasions, so I doubt it's hard to stow when it's broken down to its individual pieces.

Finally got the family out Saturday on Taylorsville lake in Kentucky. 85/48 air/water temp. Mostly fishing boats out but at least one group tubing. Which meant I got to hear my kids beg to get in the remainder of the day lol.

You should have let them experience that instant regret lol

It's actually really dang small. It looks big in the pic, but it's pretty tiny. I have a craftsman version and it's fantastic.

Little downtown action last week

 

[Farny]

speaking of tubes. How do you guys store them when not in use. We have a 3 person tube that barely fits on the pontoon we rent at the lake. I'm waiting for my 2022 195S to come in any day now. I'd rather leave it blown up for the day/week we are on vacation. Is there a good place to have it blown up and still be on the boat while we ski / wake baord?

Anchor it in you fav chill spot.

Happy hour and dinner on the water tonight

Dropped in closer to Cincinnati yesterday. Saw several ski/wake boats just floating or cruising near Schmidt's ramp upstream of the city, and some guys trying to wake surf behind a Wakesetter on the Licking River by Frederick's Landing. Beautiful day, but the river was pretty choppy on our way back downstream.

Not a pic, but hey just a pic wouldn't have done it justice!

As couldn’t ask for a better sunset. Took the boat out to test for an overheat issue and take a buddy for a ride. Ended up getting muddy though. JD on TikTok
