    Tubing with two tubes!

    We did this all the time several years ago... Especially when I brought these two brothers out. They're older (mid-30's) so they understood the risks as I explained them and they would proceed to "chicken fight" or try to knock the other off their tube. Great laughs... Mostly pulled in straight...

    Shake Down Run on the Susquehanna Long Level *Pic heavy*

    I'd say the current isn't bad, or maybe I'm just used to it? I doubt you'd have any issues with loading/unloading the boat. You can head both N & S, you have about 1.5 miles N and approx 3 miles S to travel! It is well marked and the further south you go the deeper is gets (be careful close to...

    Shake Down Run on the Susquehanna Long Level *Pic heavy*

    Similarly - you COULD boat the Susquehanna at Goldsboro. I'm not sure I'd recommend it though due to the fact that the river is low at this point (8' is the highest I saw last weekend) and it can get treacherous, quickly - if you don't know where NOT to boat. Goldsboro Boat Ramp...

    Goodbye AR240 Hello Monterey 255 SS

    Never say never, though I believe you did mention about free time being in short supply...

    Goodbye AR240 Hello Monterey 255 SS

    I guess you could say that I'm absolutely thrilled that you decided to go this route and sell your AR240 😁😁 Good luck with your new vessel, I'm sure you'll figure out her turning points in no time! She's a beautiful boat!

    Finished our vacation down in Stokes County NC on Belews Creek Lake. My wife's heard me speak of that lake so often, she wanted to visit - she fell in love with it too! A couple of firsts this week - my son tubed for the first time and my wife rocked her first several knee boarding sessions!

    Shake Down Run on the Susquehanna Long Level *Pic heavy*

    Its possible! I have a '18 blue/white AR240 - I believe the boat coming in was a 242? Can't recall the colors now 🤔 Annnnd about the booty shaking... My admiral wasn't impressed. We didn't stay terribly long 🤣

    Shake Down Run on the Susquehanna Long Level *Pic heavy*

    Depending on the day, you can see multiple Bald Eagles at Lake Clarke. We were there last Monday and saw numerous flying high, unfortunately none came to the water to eat 😭 Nice to know there's more Yami owners in the Central/S. Central PA area! I'm always looking for other jet boats on the...

    Bought double rod holders that fit the newer tower perfectly

    Appreciate your reply! Thanks!

    It's been a few years since you posted, how are they holding up? Do they get in the way when you are tubing/boarding (does the rope snag your fishing poles?)

    Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania....

    If you're going to do Raystown, might I suggest a few days there at least? There's so much area to explore and it's a decent lake! Can get quite busy on the weekends, but I've heard during the week it calms down a good bit. I believe there's two major marinas (7 Points Marina and Lake Raystown...

    Welcome back?

    Thank you! She is definitely a beautiful boat! We went out to Raystown Lake yesterday, and I swam around the boat just noting the differences between my 08 SX230 and this one...just the white/blue combination on the water looks great! Towing to RL I got high 12's (mpg) which I thought was...

    Upper Chesapeake Yamaha Run?

    OK sir, I'm going to need more information. I've lived in the Central PA area most of my life... But WHERE is Shelter Cove?!? Nice to see another CPA JB though, we'll have to meet up sometime!

    Welcome back?

    Well. The deal is done and we brought her home today! We've been been looking for the right boat for a little over a year+ now (not wanting to buy new). 3+ weeks ago I saw a boat listed in the classifieds and contacted the seller - the next weekend we did our sea trial and though it took an...
