    Possible new tow vehicle.......Lets hear thoughts from the gallery.......

    Okay, I was able to get the trip info from the trip I was referring to pulling the AR240 with the 3.0L Duramax. This was round trip 286.5 miles ascending and descending 2 canyons. The results we better than I mentioned prior, with 14.4mpg being the actual #.

    Possible new tow vehicle.......Lets hear thoughts from the gallery.......

    So far just the 10 miles home from the dealer. I think the Supreme is balanced on the trailer with a little less tongue weight it seemed, but there wasn't much difference in how the truck pulled it. Just hummed along down the freeway with ponies to spare.

    Possible new tow vehicle.......Lets hear thoughts from the gallery.......

    We've had the 3.0L Duramax for a little over a year now ('21 Sierra 1500 AT4) and put a little over 10k miles on it. My wife lets me drive it occasionally... We're extremely happy with it. I major step up from my old '05 Silverado with the 5.3L. It honestly hauls the boat around like a HD, could...

    Cipa mirror owners beware

    The adhesive failed on mine after a few seasons as well. Fortunately I discovered the mirror in one piece on the carpet. I'm pretty sure I used Gorilla brand mounting tape to reattach it and didn't have any further issue. Sounds like a common defect. I loved the mirror otherwise.

    Why aren't you boating? (A place to brag or vent)

    It's still acting like winter. That's alright, we're desperate for every inch of snow in the mountains we can get to fill the lakes/reservoirs, but I'm ready to do boat things.

    Keep her off Quadratec.com or you'll never see a paycheck... Jeeps are like boats though, half the fun is making it your own.

    AR240 Wake Surf Speed

    Likely normal. Adding a little weight, like a body or two in the bow will help the boat level out just a degree or two more and help it move thru the water a little easier. The WakeBooster does cause some additional drag that I'm sure is contributing. Most surf around 10.5-11mph. I ran the...

    *LONG READ AHEAD* I made a realization last week that I had left the anti-pooling poles for my Yamaha I'd recently traded in up on the shelf in my garage. Friday morning, I decided I could at the very least let the dealer, who'd since sold the boat, know that I still had them and would be...

    Jet Pilot/Body Glove Products

    Sorry, I'm afraid we're no longer in the watersports business. The JetPilot products are awesome though. I just bought myself a Shaun Murray signature vest. Pricey sucker's, but they're awesome! Go up a size from what you think you'll need...

    Word on the street is someone from St George UT put a deposit on the old boat yesterday. Big congrats to them! Hopefully they find or have found their way here.

    Such a tragedy... I can't even wrap my head around what's going on over there and why.

    Buying my AR240 6 years ago represented the achievement of a life goal. It was a strange feeling dropping her off and picking up our new boat. Kind of like losing a pet and getting a new puppy on the next day... I've been checking back on the dealer's site to see when the listing would pop up...

    Fortunately I've never experienced it since. I would love to do Gooseberry again. It's probably been 15ish years since. My crew went lame after marriage and kids... we talk about going more than we go. Lol!

    I'd have absolutely no reason to complain. Looks like JB took delivery on his.
