    Yes the same link. For the rubber seal I just grabbed something at lowes by the garage door sealers

    Engine Hatch Foam Replacement

    I went with a 3” self sticking foam from Amazon, it’s held up great and WOW what an improvement. Highly highly suggest!

    My take on Fins

    I need to amend my post. I had the OLD cobras on my boat and decided to put the Vectors on… I was not happy with the performance of the plastic vectors. I talked to Jeff and he sold me on the new setup. Many things can be said about Jeff, but at the end of the day no one is more passionate about...

    I bought a school bus!

    Hey Jim, Now that you say it, I have seen that in videos before, but it never crossed my mind. Luckily, I’m able to back it up no problem. It’s odd, almost seems the longer the setup you have the easier it to back up, which I guess makes sense, backing up a single jet ski trailer is really...

    Anchor size

    Quick question, someone stole our anchor on our 2006 AR210 so I need to replace. Anyone know what size that is so it fits back in its factory spot? Thanks!

    I bought a school bus!

    Sounds like a fun project! You’ll have to post pics. As far as power goes, for what you described I would consider doing a 12v refrigerator. I bout the large Furrion one. So far I have no regrets. That way when you are not plugged in or driving down the road, it will still run, keeping...

    ⛵⚓⛴✔ New Jet Boat Owner? Read this before you go out!!! ⛵⚓⛴✔

    @Julian you’ve created a monster! 🤣 This could be a long list and a list that could quickly become over whelming for a first timer. If nothing else, hammer home the things Julian has listed out and you’ll 80% better than the majority of boaters out there. And if you don’t know something, always...

    A general rule that was passed on to me a long time ago that I think about often is never approach anything faster than you are willing to hit it.

    Great stuff here new boater or not. I would also note small things about right of way, not following closely to other boats especially if they are doing water sports. Nothing is cooler to me than a knowledgeable captain. Most boating stuff is common sense, but what Julian has listed out is great...

    Open RV camping site this weekend at Jocassee, SC

    Well here are again! We book these sites a year in advance. If anyone is looking for a last minute get away let me know. Not looking for reimbursement, just hate a spot to go to waste.

    Jocassee camping/RV site available

    Have a open campsite/rv available this weekend Friday to Monday (8/20/21 - 8/23/21). My brother cannot make it so there is a site available. Not looking for reimbursement (unless you just can’t live with yourself, ha) but would hate a space that you need to book a year in advance go to waste...

    NEED SOME ADVICE

    As far as I know just a lil off of power. But you don’t run the risk of doing further damage. Maybe don’t dog out the boat, but you certainly run it nice and normal while enjoying you boat till the parts come in. Sorry about your luck!

    I bought a school bus!

    Haha, thank you! It was a lot of work… I still have to bring the project home and finish all th details. So not quite there yet, but I can see the light at the end… FINALLY!

    No, not a real big fan of LKN - too crowded for me.

    I bought a school bus!

    Really well. It was easier backing up than I thought. Long enough to where I could see everything in my side mirrors. I backed it down just to where my back wheels were touching the water, which was plenty deep for the boat. Took her out of park, gave her some gas, and pulled her out no problem...

    I bought a school bus!

    Hahaha! I should have been a tad more clear… Anyone have a cheap solution!? In all seriousness, that would be the end goal for me. I’d love to just push a button and I think they’re is plenty of access and room for just this. But I can’t really pull the trigger on it yet.

    I bought a school bus!

    Hahah, I did keep the flasher in working order so maybe next time. Backing down the boat for the first time I didn’t want too much attention but who was I kidding, everyone was watching. I had to correct my angle once so I’ll take that. For leveling, I just brought some left over LVL’s but I...
