    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...

    EV discussion - hate or love?

    I thought the same, pay to play model. How many actually true barebones models will be made? Are they all made to order? Do you order it off Amazon and pick your options? I really like the modular idea though. As a broke teen you get a basic truck. Grandma can buy you power windows for...

    I gotta think they will offer a AWD version, and it sounds like they may even offer it as an upgrade. For boaters it’s not great, for the local contractor this should be perfect.

    Bareboat insurance

    Even if you did I’m not sure it would be cheaper. The $5000 U-Haul trailer I’m renting next week is $12 a day for 20k if coverage lol

    EV discussion - hate or love?

    There is no winning. I've seen for years people bitch about the price of new trucks, and how big they are, and how techy there. I've seen hundreds of people ask for a cheap no thrills basic work truck for cheap. They are delivering that. If the thing is reliable, they will put up Tesla #s quickly.

    Bareboat insurance

    They should be providing a bareboat agreement which details all of that information in a contract that you both need to sign. However generally speaking - yes that is correct. It all really depends on the contract but what they are stating is the norm. The problem lies with you can't prove...

    Can I tow this much weight?

    I get it 100%. There is also what seems to be scare tactics used (not saying you but in general in these threads), like if you go over 1lb that your car will fail and you'll cause a multi-car/fatality crash. That simply isn't the case. The OP can the tow boat for years and will never have a...

    Can I tow this much weight?

    You're over thinking it. The numbers are super conservative. You will have no issues. I've seen a Jeep Gladiator pull out a huge boat out of the water before with ease. I've seen some pretty crazy towing situations in FL, all those cars are somehow doing just fine. Being at the boat ramp a few...

    At 100k they should be installing in-home chargers for free IMO. 100A is insane, a lot of home still run 100A panels and most are 200. A lot of home will need a full new line into the house to support that.

    90 miles is perfect. Our new home we are outside the city, so need about 60 miles round trip. At 80mph that an advertised 75-80miles.

    I HATED the digital dash vents in our M3. Some things should not be digital. Volume knobs and AC vents are at the top of the list.
