    Been looking at trucks...

    I had 2 F150's with crew cabs, 1 was a lease with a 2.7 and the other I traded the lease for a purchase on a 3.5 eco with FX4 and max tow. The 2.7 was leased from new and gave very few issues. It was a 2018 w/ the 10 speed. The 3.5 I went to was a 2017 and I aquired it with about 34,000 miles...

    I picked up a chunk of rope and a stick just south of the tacony bridge Saturday afternoon. I had to pull in to the Tacony launch area and tie up to the dock so I could unclog. Jet boat life I guess but it beats an outdrive most days!

    The river will likely be full or debris now after all the flooding from yesterday and potentially more later in the week. Hope everyone down that way is safe and those with slips; that your boats are safe as well. We were out Saturday afternoon for several hours and the water was nice and...

    West Wildwood, NJ Area

    I've used Bree-zee Lee yacht basin as a ramp and place of storage and they had good rates for the 4 days I was down there. They are on ocean drive in Cape May.

    Curious - Why do the AR / SX series of 190 seem faster than the FSH ??

    I wonder if the center console design with the weight and taller structure in the center vs both sides of the SX or AR and those sides being more aerodynamic comes into play. Certainly it would for balance and ride comfort to a degree but I'm now wondering how much the design difference plays...

    Deposit For 2021 Yamaha and still waiting?

    Granted it will make the lot up there look good for a day or so but they won't hang out long! Lot was empty when I was by there on Monday!

    Yamaha Boat Comparisson

    Our 190 was a decent starter boat especially since my wife didn't have her sea legs when she met me, so we started small but we were able to get her over past negative on water experiences and now we are moving up to an AR250 in the next 6-12 months or so. Overall, our 2018 SX190 has performed...

    Boat looks great! We launch in shark river and go out for fluke a few miles north of the inlet, maybe I'll see ya out there!

    "Covid quality" boats

    While some minor stuff is usually to be expected, hopefully the QC process is better than what it is for the camper manufacturing process. I've heard several horror stories over in the department lately; well more than usual!

    Deposit For 2021 Yamaha and still waiting?

    I spoke to my sales guy last week to see if there was news on the 2022 orders as far as colors and pricing is concerned. All he could say was any day, it'll be coming any day...

    I heard about that food truck event, Sounds like fun for an afternoon trip. My wife is wedding dress shopping with her sister tomorrow at noon but after that we will be out. Still deciding but might take a trip down to Penns landing and beyond.

    2021 Current Orders, Deliveries and 2022 Model Startup

    Being is SE PA its gonna be a tough choice in whether to even bother putting the boat in the water this year and then having to winterize it if it comes late august or early September. Might just tell the dealer to keep it there for the winter and have it for the spring which I'd hate having to...

    2021 Current Orders, Deliveries and 2022 Model Startup

    We put a deposit down on an AR250 on April 30 and our dealer told us They would find out pricing and color options in June sometime. I'm seeing a couple dealers with 2022 models posted but only 1 was the 250. I'm guessing they are using old pictures from prior years. We were told the 2022 model...

    I just called highway marine today to make arrangements to pickup the boat from winter storage. We only got out twice last year early in the season due to the wife being pregnant. She wants to wait until our daughter is 5-6 months old which means I've got some solo runs in the future. I miss...

    boating in Raritan bay Lavalette, NJ

    I have a 2018 190 and have had it out in barnegat bay and down in shark river and out in the ocean for some in shore fishing. The 190 rides well but will get moved around by the larger boats driving faster to impress the people on shore. I came from a four winns horizon 170 and there is...
