    Saying goodbye….at least for a while

    But what's the soundsystem going to be like on her....? I still fondly remember the prior setups...jealously of course.

    2011 242 Limited S Head Unit

    Not to hijack the thread...also put the fusion head unit in my 2010 Ar240. Which remote did you put in on the transom?

    Gel coat?

    A look inside the Yamaha boat building process in Japan.

    Below is the process that was one YouTube for the US plant I believe. Slightly different...maybe given the size of the Yamaha Pilot boat in Japan versus the Jetboats in the US.Yamaha US Video

    Gel coat?

    YouTube video explaining the Yamaha gelcoat process and automation. Maybe worth sharing with the insurer. Hope it helps.Link to Yamaha Jetboats Manufacturing Process

    2019 SX195 Engine Anode

    Thanks for sharing the pics Michal. It must be year of the anode...I just changed my water heater anode at home with the powered version (is everyone else doing this every 3-5 years?), and now queued up for the spring maintenance on the boat for all the anodes. Parts ordered....thanks for the...

    Pulled the Trigger on 1st Jet Boat

    I'd definitely suggest keel guards...that way you shouldn't end up with a "how did I do that moment?" Low cost for less worry. All hulls are constructed different as well...former Whaler and SeaRay perspective here. I came from an I/O and after taking the boat out a few times went with the...

    Tachometer not available 2012 Yamaha 242.

    As a follow-up to my prior comment you may want to try to contact Yuri..who is the owner of BestPixelRepair.com (he lives in the town over in NC) for a potential repair. He did some work repairing an instrument cluster for me on a BMW...cleaning up oxidation from a leaking capacitor and...

    Want To Buy WTB Bimini canvas for 2010 to 2014 Limited S

    Boat Stuff Sold the boat and have some items to sell ( NC)

    Just sharing a suggestion: You may want to offer up a buy it all price....as this is a good starter kit for someone who has bought a "new boat". eg Local Pickup preferred. Just a thought. 1 transaction = done. I know I probably would have jumped at all of this when I bought my "New to me boat".

    255 XD on Lake Michigan

    I grew up boating on the lake and on powerboats we had deep v hulls...and even then we turned back at times depending on the weather. Had some good times with a whaler there and even made runs from Harbor Springs to beaver island to camp. But be well equipped to run offshore...

    Anyone know the history of this boat

    Saw this on copart. Has a jetboaters.net wheel cover. Anyone on the board familiar with it? https://www.copart.com/lot/58937332

    Recommendations for a quality, yet reasonably priced, floor jack

    I have the harbor freight Daytona as well. It's cumbersome a bit, but works great. I used it for stuck clean out ports after I first purchased the boat LOL...before the boat received the proper TLC. I actually take it when I trailer on road trips...I don't want to mess around on the side of the...
