    Where to move to?

    I boated a time or two on lake keowee about 30 years ago and have had it in the back of my mind ever since. Not sure what it’s like these days though. I remember it being a nice area.

    19' Yamahas - Best Fender Setup for Avoiding Dock Rash

    When someone asks to help I usually ask them to hold the boat off the dock at the tower.

    Anyone else fleeing their state?

    11 years ago we bought a beach house in Daytona Beach Shores. Going to start wintering there and summering in PA, at least for a bit. Eventually we’ll end up just staying at the beach house full time and sell in PA. Can’t wait!

    Debris and Yamaha..

    I think the jet and debris is way easier to deal with than smacking an outboard on a log. If I had to deal with lots of floating weeds then that’s a different story.

    Has anyone plotted this curve yet?

    Hey @ripler !!! I saw you the other day (Last Saturday evening I think) but I’m sure you didn’t recognize me. At the moment we have an old Boston Whaler 17’. There does seem to be more and more Yamahas. Give me a wave if you see us.

    BoatUS vs Statefarm

    I used travelers. It was ~450/year.

    Has anyone plotted this curve yet?

    My back of the napkin for the SC FSH at 5500 came in at 17.3 gph. Just a touch better than the 27 footer that you posted. So essentially 38% more fuel at cruise. I’ll stick with the NA. Man, I was hoping for closer though! I don’t need a race car, I need range.

    Has anyone plotted this curve yet?

    I’m just trying to put together some numbers on the big FSH with NA vs SC is all. I was very happy with the performance of my AR240 but if the SC version was closer in fuel consumption why not have that extra oomph in your back pocket!

    Has anyone plotted this curve yet?

    Yea. Looks like 38% more fuel at cruise just for running super chargers. That helps. I wish that were closer. :)

    Has anyone plotted this curve yet?

    1.8L NA vs SC fuel consumption vs speed. I’m curious if there is a cruising speed where the NA and the SC are close in fuel burn. 28 mph was a good cruising speed for my AR240 as far as fuel burn, 10-12 gph. Wondering the fuel burn for the supercharged engines at ~28 mph. Thanks! Mark

    How often does it really, really happen?

    Having had both jets and outboards, I much prefer the jet for not hanging below the hull. Our river found me in the cleanout plugs most trips but nothing gives you that sinking feeling like smacking a submerged log with an outboard.
