    EV discussion - hate or love?

    I’m in the less the better camp. When we went from the M3 to 4XE it was a big change. Went from nothing to a brick. I think key fobs generally should be smaller, the Jeeps are huge.

    I get it. I lucked out on my truck. Bought a 2019 that was a lemon and then custom ordered my 2020 after I knew exactly what I wanted. Part of this is probably also taking care of your vehicles. My truck still looks darn close to new inside and out. PPF and Ceramic doing their job well.

    Sounds like you messed by not getting a M and you would be still content with it years down the road lol

    EV discussion - hate or love?

    EVs are deprecating harder than anything we’ve ever seen (my opinion no data to back that up). It’d be foolish to currently buy one. This has been a drastic change from COVID, we traded in our Tesla for what we paid after two years. We were lucky. Alternatively I think I found the sweet spot...

    Finding the right deal and leasing is a great option. Walking into a dealer to get a lease deal is a horrible option. I really like leasing right now because my wife trades in so often, and in the off case she wants to keep the car - we just buy it out.

    Another transducer communication issue....

    Hello, unfortunately we are not vendors for the transducers yet. If you would like to order the harness, please PM me your shipping details and year/make/model of your boat and I will send over a PayPal invoice.

    Does the Yamaha 252SE have enough power? (upgrading from Chap 203)

    I've never had an issue with towing and hole shots. Biggest issue I have had towing is the rope getting stuck in the jet-wash, I bought a booster ball for that but never got around to using it. I've had probably 400lbs on a single tube and the boat did just fine.

    Here is a link to our site, which is still a work in progress: https://jetboatsolutions.com/products/yamaha-jet-boat-transducer-t-harness We do not have payments set-up on the site quite yet, but can do a direct invoice if you are interested. Installation is straight forward, unplug old...

    Another transducer communication issue....

    We have a transducer t-harness that allows you to buy the off the shelf version that is much cheaper (and easier to source) and plug and play into the boat.

    EV discussion - hate or love?

    I’m starting to see your reasoning, but you’re making some serious assumptions about the public and drivers in general. One-pedal drivers still use the brake pedal, people don’t just forget how to drive. I found going to one-pedal made me drive more cautious and slower because I utilized the...

    EV discussion - hate or love?

    Your opinion on 1 pedal driving is by far the worst take you’ve had. Have you ever driven one? You take your foot off the gas and the car slows down at a faster rate than coasting, it is inherently safer. That is not disputable. You still have a normal brake pedal as well. I can’t even fathom...

    finally new JL audio for AR250 - am i missing anything?

    Our harness allows you plug it into the plug currently going into the OEM amp and then has wires to go into new amplifier. You can absolutely go without it, but it simplifies install and allows you to go quickly back to OEM if you sold the boat. For that amount power there is no need to...

    finally new JL audio for AR250 - am i missing anything?

    Certainly wouldn’t hurt to add an extra set of speakers or subwoofer. The sub knob isn’t needed with the MM50 but makes control much quicker. No downsides to RGB, but not worth the cost if you hardly night boat. The Mm50 is a great unit, it can’t integrate into the factory screen but it could...

    2022 AR250 No audio

    There should be a large fuse somewhere on the power wire. You can do a. Quick visual of that is the easiest step. I’d check power remote and ground at the amps if that looks good. Those fuses hardly blow so if it’s blown you need to figure out why.

    2022 AR250 No audio

    This will be a more difficult question to answer since you have an after market system and there are a number of ways your system could be installed. I would start by seeing if the lights on your amplifiers come on. If they do, are they the correct colors (I.e. not in protect mode). Once that...

    Clearwater Ferry Accident

    The guy is a community billionaire. That might have something to do with it. He has a significant record of boating accidents, including a previous fatality. Also a record of drugs, a blood sample should have been drawn.

    Clearwater Ferry Accident

    It's nationwide news now... https://baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2025/04/28/clearwater-florida-boat-crash The video says a lot. As a former charter captain my self, I am furious that no one has been arrested yet. Sober or non-sober. Hopefully that will change as the investigation continues.

    EV discussion - hate or love?

    Agreed. People like to talk but let's see if they buy it. It could be real tempting if it had some good towing and gets under 17k with a federal rebate. People pay more than that for golf carts and ATVs. Would be a nice side car to putz around town and beat on for Home Depot trips. The...
