    Anyone on here ever rent their boat out?

    You are correct, I have an LLC and commercial insurance and millions in liability coverage. Almost everyone else I’ve talked to just have a personal insurance policy, which is crazy to me. It isn’t that much to setup LLC and get commercial coverage.

    Anyone on here ever rent their boat out?

    i only did 3 captained cruises, they all went okay, but I really wasn’t into it and the money earned vs bare boat didn’t really justify my extra time commitment and energy.

    1.8HO Engine replacement 2012 242LS

    I take that back. Looks like it’s new with only 3 hours. So maybe a solution.

    $10k is too much for that.

    1.8HO Engine replacement 2012 242LS

    Do you have insurance on your boat? Sounds like your boat sank and you have an insurance claim. That will get you a motor from Yamaha. I was quoted $15k to replace mine, I told insurance it over heated though which they don’t cover….I found a wrecked jet ski and ended up spending about $7k all...

    2019+ Ar190 pumps

    I have 622 hours. It’s not the intermediate shaft bearing. It’s the back bearing next to the propeller.

    2019+ Ar190 pumps

    My pump bearing went out today, trying to find a bearing kit to replace it, I seem to be able to find all kinds of stuff but not the bearing kit fir the 2019 AR190. Can someone confirm what other boats have the same pump set up?

    8in Speakers on AR190

    Were you able to install the 8inch speakers? I am thinking of doing the same thing.

    Anyone on here ever rent their boat out?

    For my bare boat rentals, I launch the boat and the renter takes and returns from the courtesy dock. They never touch the trailer and they should never dock with out me. I leave a 20ft dock line tied to the clear on the bow and when they come back I am standing on the dock. Tell them to get 5-10...

    Anyone on here ever rent their boat out?

    renting the boat out is a lot more work, I’ve accepted my boat is always dirty because I am not going to take the time to wash it down EVeRY time it rents by my self. I have done 150+ bare boat rentals and just started captaining. Captaining can be fun but can also suck. You do all the work...

    Uber Drivers anyone?

    @Julian get my boat and Boatsetter are basically the same thing. I stopped using boatsetter last year. Boatsetter offersan insurance policy fir every rental…they take 35% of the rental amount for that policy. Very expensive. If you choose not use their insurance they take 15%. This makes...

    Warm water from Bilge.....on the water need some help.

    these are solids boats, my damage is probably from user error and I’d buy another one without hesitation. I have spent time on many friends boats and they all seem to have more problems than mine. I’m very pleased with my Yamaha...(and not just because it’s paid me to own the boat). Boat had...

    Warm water from Bilge.....on the water need some help.

    M Mine was the casting/freeze plug on the bottom of the exhaust manifold. Dealer didn’t know what caused it. Jet ski shop said he is 100% it froze. Motor over heated when it finally popped out and ended up with milky oil that took out the lower end. It stopped cranking about 30-40 hours after...

    Warm water from Bilge.....on the water need some help.

    @2kwik4u hope your outcome is better than mine. It took about 300 hrs before my problem cause showed itself.

    Super charged 2019 AR190

    W renters were on the boat when the casting plug came out, no water was going into the motorfor who knows how long, I’m sure it got really hot. I flushed the motor after wards but didn’t realize it had done this or we could of saved the motor, took about 20 - 30 hours for the rest of the...

    Super charged 2019 AR190

    They said the motor over heated to a high enough temp to burn the oil, which then took out the lower half of the motor. Guessing when the casting plug popped out of the exhaust and the over heat alarm came on, that’s when it went to 300+ degrees. Still waiting to see if Yamaha is going to cover...
