    Wall of shame

    If you leave a cove and your anchor is still down how many points is that? (Tied up to other boats and just dropped in, not set). Asking for a friend...Also I saw a guy do it last weekend and his bow ladder was also down, so my “friend” felt a little better. Of course the friend yelled to the...

    Anyone have an issue with their Perfect Pass turning on and off?

    How hard isit to disconnect PP and install Ridesteady if the person doing the work is electronically challenged so to speak?

    Anyone have an issue with their Perfect Pass turning on and off?

    I have it on my boat and there are times that it won't power off per se like on your video, but it does not maintain the speed as if it lost connection. It will then speed up and slow down never stopping at the correct speed. It caused a few of my riders to fall as a result. The boat came with...

    If you had to pick between a Boat or a Pool

    We also have 4 kids (12-6) and I would take the community pool in a heartbeat, regardless of having a boat. Just knowing that they likely have friends there and I don’t have to entertain them constantly, not to mention I have friends there too, it’s a no brainer. No work, cleanup, chemicals and...

    STOLEN BOAT - <now found>

    ☝This. Especially now when cases are being moved because of COVID. Victims usually get sick of the case, sick of coming to court, and just give up at how jacked the system is. The few who hang in and are the squeaky wheel usually have their perseverance rewarded - at least in the counties I...

    Carpet for Trailer Size

    Disregard. Due to time constraints and general impatience my dad just ordered. Hopefully whatever he picked is right. I can’t figure out how to delete the thread or I would.

    Carpet for Trailer Size

    I will have the boat in the water next week and my bunks need to be redone. Found on Amazon either a 11” x 12’ or 18” x 18’ toll of carpet (24 foot boat). I have never done this before and am not sure what size to order. Anyone who has done this have the answer?

    Got a citation in no wake zone

    When people call me for speeding tickets, it usually comes down to how much is their time worth vs how much the fine/insurance bump might be. I would say same thing here. If the lake is local, and you have the time it’s probably worth a shot. I say that because with our boats and the no wake...

    Got a citation in no wake zone

    If the 4th is your first date it is likely just an arraignment and the officer won’t have to be there. At least in the counties where I practice, officers aren’t brought in unless the case is set for trial, which isn’t until you’ve entered a not guilty plea at arraignment.

    Where did you get the stainless rod holders?

    Boat Stuff Jetboater forum purchases

    I felt comfortable enough with it, after researching the other posts of the seller, that I ended up buying my boat off of this forum from a seller that was 8 hours away. As stated, after you do a little homework reach out privately. He and I then spoke by phone later that day and had the deal...

    Newbie here - sucked up the rope!

    Rob’s DIY channel also has a video of him pulling the pump and he does it the easy way.

    Newbie here - sucked up the rope!

    All my mechanical knowledge from the boat has come from this forum and YouTube (and 90% of the stuff on here is over my head). If I can do that job in less than 30 minutes (including the time it took for my wife to come out and see her handy work), you will be fine.

    Perfect pass install

    For those who have done this, any advice on having the RPM’s to get even close from both engines? At idle and wide open I’m fine. Mid range, where we spend 99% of the time towing, the starboard is way behind. If I mess with the throttle stop adjustment, I can get the mid range closer but it...

    Newbie here - sucked up the rope!

    Just popped my cherry on the rope being sucked up too. No way we could get to it all on the water with the knife we had. Limped back to the dock in No Wake mode and put it on the trailer. Pulled the pump and the rope came right out. Much easier than continuing to cut or messing with the intake...

    Aargh... Milkshake Engine Oil... WTF? (Port Engine, 2016 AR240, ~300 hrs)

    The Evil Terrible GrandPa or Not

    I am a big pro wrestling guy, so I would say make it fun. Cut a promo on the elephant for messing wiht your grandson, and then drop The People's Elbow on it. Hopefully that will lighten him up, and once you've put the elephant in its place everyone can be friends...or else.

    Yukon vs Expedition

    I bought used and it had 4x4, but when I was looking it wasn’t a deciding factor for me. Having said that, I have used it more times than I thought. The piece of mind at the ramp is nice, and I am pretty pleased with my mpg’s so I can’t say it’s negatively impacting me that much there.

    What are you watching on TV? Favorite Shows? <name the service used>

    A funny, dirty, at times gross, and interesting take on super hero movies is “The Boys” on Amazon. Everyone I’ve turned onto the show has loved it.

    Liquid in Air Filter

    I have to give it up for the dealer. I called and explained the situation this morning. They called back this afternoon and wanted to check the boat. I brought it out and told them the whole story from last year until now. There only issue was that they wished I brought the battery and idle...
