    One picture of your last outing.

    Just to piggyback, we are also on year 2 and love ours, as well. It’s just so convenient and the kids love it, as does my wife when the kids get off it. Little tip, if you flip it over, you are out of the water more for those times when you want to be less submerged.

    Underwater Transom lights on X model boats

    Here's one of the Lumitec SeaBlaze X2 RBGW installed between the scupper and the drain plug in the murky waters of the Chesapeake Bay just at sunset...

    Sunchill float christening

    Bought ours at local boat show this past Spring for $500, so there are some deals to be had if you are lucky. We love our...SO MUCH quicker to both inflate and store than the island. Seems indestructible thus far after a dozen uses by my 4 boys and multiple adults. I use my 12v SUP pump and...

    Zoom in, those are the stern seats.

    Water coming in, from where?

    My boat sits in a slight bow down attitude at rest while floating. Even when on the lift, with the lift bunks flat/level, the boat is pitched towards the bow. In the resting position on the water or the lift, the stock bilge pump will see no water, even though there's considerable water...

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

    How do you get on/off the boat with that setup?

    2021 Yamaha 255 XD hull crack

    Zero power compared to what, exactly? My 242 accelerates out of the hole faster than any prop boat I’ve ever been on. Top speed, I’d agree with you, but I don’t need more than the 46mph I achieve currently. If you are using the boat strictly for surfing with insane ballast loads, perhaps you...

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

    funny that I’ve never once been unable to find tires for my various cars in 15”, 17”, 19”, or 21”. Had them all in the past 5 years and no lack of options. Silly comment.

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

    @2kwik4u Your threads read as if you need/want another vehicle ASAP, yet aren’t deliveries of newly reserved Rivians pushed to late 2023 at the earliest? You have much less need for instant gratification than I if you can wait that long! Plus, what else will be coming down the pike in the...

    The Texas School Shooting

    @OCMD, does a standard issue vest protect against the type of rounds used by the killer in this case? Thanks for your insight in this thread.

    Another stiff steering question

    Yours is a whole assembly. You cannot replace a single cable.

    Moved to Middletown DE, which marina to slip the boat?

    The Sassafras is an infinitely better place to actually boat compared to the C&D canal, IMHO. I guess it depends on your definition of fun, though.

    Jeep Wrangler Rubicon pricing...

    Any interest in the 2 door manual trans Bronco? Having driven both Jeeps and Broncos extensively on-road, the Bronco is light years ahead in handling and comfort. I have no experience in “real” off-reading/rock crawling.

    CoVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 Information and Questions

    For those that still needed MORE evidence, here’s a study from the New England Journal of Medicine regarding ivermectin efficacy…spoiler alert, it made no difference… https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2115869?fbclid=IwAR37xfFP3m7_LXYVeGqJqMbvoFPL9M5SL0vSJ0Vkz8HqPNvHUCKtPmVCh1c

    Show us your tow rigs!

    Agree with this. Lifted trucks + towing = no beuno.

    My trim tab review

    There are easily dozens if not more members on this forum alone who have done this install (myself included). I’ve yet to see a single post on screws pulling out. Follow the instructions, follow the advice of those who came before you and all will work out. The tabs are a game changer on my...

    House on the water or near it?

    I think the 1031 exchange only works for investment properties, not your main residence. He’ll be hit with capital gains on anything more than $500k in appreciated value.

    CoVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 Information and Questions

    But you aren't even understanding what you posted above...the Age Standardized Mortality Rate per 100k for 3 doses is 1.50 vs. 10.40 in the unvaccinated group. That's a 7 fold risk reduction by getting 3 vaccines vs. unvaccinated. You missed the money shot here and zoomed in on a random total...

    CoVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 Information and Questions

    I apologize for getting the good doctor’s voting status wrong. I was incorrect. I DID go on to call him legit and in no way discredited him. I found him credible and stated that the portion of the interview I watched brought up good points. I still stand by the mantra that there’s more to...

    CoVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2 Information and Questions

    You are upset that people on a boating forum didn't sit through more than an hour interview to share their thoughts with you? I sat through the first 25 minutes. It was a well done interview and lots of good points were brought up. What more do you want? It's ONE legit guy's opinion based...
