    What to do before dropping a new boat in the water

    Depends on the state and body of water. I forgot my anchor the first time i went out and was so nervous since i was on a river with a dam about 2 miles away. My state requires flares, flag, horn, fire extinguishers and if you go to Lake Erie you have to have a UHF radio, or maybe thats just...

    2016 Limited S Price

    1 year ago I paid that for my 2015 with tax and 1000 miles shipped. For $450 to get a cover and lights is a decent deal, as long as you get some decent lights. The lights are $200 for popular Dagon, the cover is 6-700. The bigger question is if anything in the 2017 appeals to you. If not...

    Easiest way to add/amplify music at the helm

    Good point, thats a solid trash can fit and finish. Linky please. Let me know when you drill, I'm still over a month before I bring my boat to the house to do the winter mods.

    Easiest way to add/amplify music at the helm

    Has anyone tried fitting either the Polks or JL MX650s in the mid cabin where @fraserjr did on specifically a 2015 LTDE? @Mainah think its possible? I'm about to pull the trigger on ordering 8 MX650s, 1 IB sub and 2 amps. I'd really like the speakers higher, but not sure i have the ballz...

    Chart Plotter Placement on newer boats with connext? Simrad Go7 installed

    Ive got a couple trips this summer to new lakes where we'll be fishing, so i sort of wanted to get a cheap fish finder. I was looking at something like this Garmin Striker 4. Is this just not a good option at all for our boats...

    Yamaha Boat,not fast enough??

    I didn't see anything about your elevation. I was only able to hit the upper 30's in mine, that was when i wet slipped it. After i got my lift i pulled it and the hull was literally hairy. Cleaned up and got to 46-48, but not the advertised 52. More research here, turns out my lake is at...

    New Yamaha Added To The Garage

    I had to do gas because the garage at my lake house does not have electric. Didnt really want to run electric for 1500. I kinda wish i had electric for the torque and loudness, but battery maintenance will be a routine that i'd also rather avoid. I like yours a lot. What did you do for a...

    Worth Towing to Destin?

    Yeah, just typing the details I talked myself out of it. Showing off the rig at crab island was about the only motivator. Now I have to decide if im gonna tow my golf cart. Probably the same decision.

    Worth Towing to Destin?

    Never been and we're headed to Destin this summer and wondering if it would be worth towing the boat 1700 miles total down there? I figure an extra $200 or less in fuel, but towing will make the drive a little longer not being able to go 85 and pass a lot. If I don't tow it down there, we'll...

    Drain plug led Diablo Royal ??

    Which setup, the Vega 8000 in RGB? If so, did you just buy that and the adapter, or did you need to buy the RGB remote under accessories too? The listing details was a little confusing as it said it included an LED driver.

    Drain plug led Diablo Royal ??

    With that Vega 8000 lumen being 133 watts, how long could you run that off the house battery without the engine running? I could see sitting at 1 of the bars on the lake with it on for a few hours.

    242 Cover with Tower Lowered

    So I went there today, awesome. Cold and windy. Had to unlatch both covers and was able to get it lowered without issues. And yes, I'm at harbor run. I'm on the farthest end from the channel. Spot 118. I was able to get it about 3-4 feet off the water with it lowered.

    242 Cover with Tower Lowered

    I decided to keep the boat on my covered lift for the winter. Have her double bagged with my premium cover and then shipping cover on that. Marina owner called and asked if I could lower the tower in case we get crazy high water levels. Boat is an hour away, but I'm headed that way to ski this...
