    Anyone Know When They Are Set to Announce 2026 Models?

    Just like all Yamahas, if you want a good all around boat where you can surf as an option then it might fit the bill. If you want a surf boat Yamaha is not it.

    Anyone Know When They Are Set to Announce 2026 Models?

    That's what my dad used to say. I grew up in the car business and I would say, dad, why are you buying that crappy car, nobody is going to buy it. And he would say, son, there is an ass for every seat.

    Anyone Know When They Are Set to Announce 2026 Models?

    Our friends have a cabin cruiser that we have been on a couple of times. I just don't see the utility of them. 90% of the time they drive over to islands and anchor in front of a beach and go to the beach. It's not like the ever sleep, lounge, and cook in them. And it is usually just 4 -6...

    ever had laughing gas or sedation at the dentist ___?

    I just had deadening to do root canal and pull cracked molar. My little dentist dude was on top of me pulling with all his might to get the molar out. I never felt a thing on either one of them.

    Let's talk alligators and children.

    Where was the video taken? What was the source saying a gator captured will be released and where? Aren't you at/near Lake Lewisville?

    Intermediate bearing greasing advice

    At least for my model, they only get grease if the hose isn't taught. 18th season and they may have gotten greased a handful of times.

    Wake tower support?

    The pull on the tower is limited to your hand strength.

    I don't even like reading this. It's been 12 years since I sucked up a rope. Now I have worry about some other type of phenomenon.

    More work on the boat....

    Headed to the lake yesterday. Went from chalky gray to pretty much glossy black. I think I'm going to get a basic tarp to cover down from the mooring cover to keep the sun off as I don't want to do this again. Now that I started doing stuff I can't stop. New engine hatch struts ordered...

    06-09 230/232 Windshield Strap Replacement Options

    I can confirm that this works for the windshield strap. It's plug and play except for cutting the excess and burning to seal threads. $51 vs $17.

    6 or 8 Channel Amp

    To do what you want to do there is no cheap way to do it unless you are under powered. I tried to do something similar to you with one amp and ended up with two. I have a 4x100 JL, and a 5 channel JL that has 2 channels bridged for tower speakers, and a higher power single channel for sub. A...

    More work on the boat....

    I gotta get it in the bright sun to see all the imperfections or places I didn't get as well. I'm also bad about missing wax dust and I get out on the water and like WTF! :)

    06-09 230/232 Windshield Strap Replacement Options

    I'm in the same boat....no pun intended. I'm going to try this one and report back. I don't want to buy material and a tool that would end up costing the same or more than the OEM. But I will give this one a shot...

    More work on the boat....

    I was feeling bad about how the boat looked on the outside based on the nice comments I got on my previous post. It spurred to me to give it another wetsand and polish. The first side has been wetsanded with my milwaukee m18 sander. Starting with 600 grit, to 800, to 1,000, and then 1500...

    Started 18th Season with AR230 today

    The two worst things for me, like you: pulling the floor hatch over the gas tank, and replacing the plastic scupper. I ran heavy duty cable from the battery compartment to the helm compartment for my two audio amps. Broken, stripped, seized....you name it on the bolts. I had to cut, drill...
