    The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

    Lost a trailer tire last year and lost another one yesterday. Executive decision to get rid of the piece of sh*t Carlisle tires and get some radials.... Goodyear Endurance tires all around now.

    Aug 2023 Meet Up?

    Yeah, I’m probably gonna bail too. Have some stuff that needs done so probably won’t boat at all tomorrow.

    Boating in Myrtle Beach Area, North to Bald Head Island??

    Barefoot was more... $72 a day for me. Factor in location, not dealing with ramps, and ease of everything, I'll take it.

    So.... we doing August 13? How many can make it? @Julian assuming we do this, where should we meet up? You know the lake the best out of all us.

    I did not. When the lights were on, that light bar worked fine. My issues were with brakes and turn signals with the lights on.... Lights off, everything worked fine. Lights on, and there was no change when pressing the brakes and the left signal wouldn't work either. There's a separate...

    Raleigh Area Lakes. Jordan, Harris, Falls.

    Hate that happened, but I'll echo what the others said.... take it to Chatlee. I had a wet slip at Crosswinds 1 year and someone hit my boat in the slip. I had damage on the front and back and they fixed it. Looked like new.

    Boating in Myrtle Beach Area, North to Bald Head Island??

    We drove past Cherry Grove. I think it's cheaper than Barefoot where I was at and it's further north. There was a bunch of no wake up that way. Felt like we no wake more than we cruised until you got close to Bird Island.

    Trailer Light Issue

    Update on this... I replaced both of the lights and that solved the problem. $40 for new lights which is a steal IMO. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DV355Z8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

    Replaced the lights on my trailer since they weren't working right. These were a perfect fit on my trailer (2018 242 size). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DV355Z8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

    Weekend at the Coast b/w Charleston & Shackleford Island - Recommendations/Meet Ups?

    A couple years ago, I hauled down to Charleston and did the Copper River run up to Lake Moultrie. You go through a lock to get from the river to the lake and my wife and kids (17, 14, 9 at the time) had a great time. None of them knew what a lock is and it was a new experience. You just have...

    Boating in Myrtle Beach Area, North to Bald Head Island??

    Made it to the Socastee bridge around 9:20pm. It's a rotating bridge and pretty low. I might of been able to drop the tower and fit but wasn't sure. As I approached, the bridge operator called me on the VHF (I am so glad I bought this a couple years ago, that I brought it on the trip, and...

    Boating in Myrtle Beach Area, North to Bald Head Island??

    I've never driven my boat at night, on a lake or anywhere else. So this was an experience navigating the intracoastal waterway at night. Got some awesome pictures though.... The phone brightened up the images quite a bit. It was definitely no this bright out. I can't stress enough how...

    Boating in Myrtle Beach Area, North to Bald Head Island??

    Made it to Georgetown and we stopped for an appetizer/drink. Marina/fuel was already closed (it was around 5pm) which was odd..... and that led to a problem. I probably didn't have enough gas to make it back. We ate real quick and were back on the boat by 6:15. Everything was closed and I...

    Boating in Myrtle Beach Area, North to Bald Head Island??

    Saturday there was rain all over the place and some major storms down in Charleston that were heading north towards us. We went over to Barefoot landing for lunch at Lulu's and kinda waited out the rain. It was around 2pm once it cleared up so I went over to the marina, got the boat, drove...

    Boating in Myrtle Beach Area, North to Bald Head Island??

    Made it back from Myrtle, what an awesome time! Friday we got the boat in the water after lunchtime and drove north up to Bird island and went as far as Holden Beach. Stopped at Crab Catchers for a late lunch. Didn't really stop anywhere and did more driving and exploring.

    Boating in Myrtle Beach Area, North to Bald Head Island??

    Awesome, thanks for all this information! Right now I'm thinking GTown and maybe North island on Saturday and Bird island Sunday before we head home. Weather looks good and hope it stays that way. Hope you find the time to get your boat and make it out on the water!

    Boating in Myrtle Beach Area, North to Bald Head Island??

    Awesome, thanks for that info! I actually switched and got a slip at Barefoot Marina. It's closer to the house I'm at and it's further south so from there I assume it would be no wake all the way down to Georgetown..... 2 hours to Georgetown seems pretty reasonable. Might try and make that a...
