    Installing Polk DB651s finally

    I hope you have better luck with your Db651s than I did. Pieces of crap stopped working after two seasons of very little use. https://jetboaters.net/threads/boat-audio-question.29010/#post-473521

    BoatUS vs Statefarm

    Aaron Rodgers cost alot, hence overpriced State Farm, at least in the DMV. By far one of the most expensive insurers in this locale. Ever here of Erie? Probably not. They don't advertise and don't insure high risk people. Very competitive pricing.

    Installing Dometic / Waeco CD-030DCW Refrigerator in Yamaha SX230

    Man you guys like to complicate things.....throw some ice in a good cooler, slide it under the chair where it fits perfect, and the ice stays ice until the next day!

    If you had to pick between a Boat or a Pool

    Boat, hands down. You have a community pool. I've had 2 Yamahas as my kids grew up, 7 until now and youngest is 21 and graduated to hauling ass in a boat to flying planes. But those years growing up? With cousins and friends on the boat. They can't be duplicated or repeated. Now, with the kids...

    Boat Audio Question

    LOL even the so called "waterproof" ones get ruined, just look at my Polks after 2 seasons of little use. Really pissed me off that they failed and Crutchfield would do nothing about it. Oh well.

    Holy Crap. Read if you have verizon for cell service

    I am shocked. AT&T is just ripping people blind with their cell costs, and their Direct TV costs. I slowly have been transferring my lines over to verizon. AT & T was charging me an $85 access fee to get unlimited $30 on each line. I finally ported over my last 3 phones over the weekend, to...

    2005 AR230HO worth?

    And whatever you do, do not buy a replacement engine from the aforementioned manufacturuer. Speaking from experience and vast knowledge of similarly situated folks who purchased those engines over the years. The warranty is crap also. The engine will fail, but they usually go just long...

    Proper procedure limping back on single engine?

    It will be very difficult to get on plane with one engine, and your control (steering) will be way out of whack and need to be adjusted accordingly, i.e. you will be fighting its natural tendency to move as it will move in only one direction with only one jet thrust instead of 2 equal ones...

    New Waverunner and Jetboat that I’m renting out to people

    I'd be concenred about liability issues. Check your policy. If the boat is rented is it covered? Hmmm....have to see the policy. What if the renter injures someone? You could be on the hook. Check your policy before renting.

    Overspray while pulling a tube

    The longer the tow rope the less control. Boosters balls are added drag and inefficient. Simple fix. On board swim goggles. Problem solved. .

    Vehicle wax recommendations

    @Elliott how does this compare to Griots "Best of Show wax? I used Griots leather preserver products on my old convertible and loved it.

    Vehicle wax recommendations

    With your boat @mark_m medium is what I would get. The light won't make a dent. And even with the medium, you may see some chalking come back so you will have to go over it a second time in some spots. But once done, almost good as new. They say to use a wool pad, but I just stick a microfiber...

    Vehicle wax recommendations

    I usually pay for car/truck details. Now that I have temporarily moved to my eastern shore house where there have been a total of about 300 rona cases since the start of this mess, I have too much time on my hands. For my boat, I have been using the 3M light cutting polish/wax. Squirt it on...

    Get a boat they said, you will make friends they said. Lies

    Wait until you are old like me. Kids gone, cousins and friends gone, everyone grew up too quick. But the 15 years or so growing up on boats was a blast. Now? Just the two of us? I want to sell the damn boat but she won't let me. "You spend all that time cleaning and waxing, but never take...

    STOLEN BOAT - <now found>

    Maryland is a diminished value state. You can insist on the difference between the value as repaired as valued not damaged and they can include that in the settlement. This way, you can make up for the diminished value the boat will have when you trade it in or sell in a few years. That is...
