    JBP 242 Limited S fitted mooring cover from a long time ago....

    Long time no see y'all. Glad to see all is well here. Need some help...I remember way back in 2014-2016ish JetBoat Pilot manufactured a mooring cover that went above the wake tower mounting points on tower boats of that era. It seems like maybe is was a fitted cover that possibly was elastic...

    2019 Yamaha 275 Detail Images (as thumbnails)

    Devils advocate here...but would a fridge even have ample time to really "cool" on say a day trip in 100* weather inside an unconditioned compartment. I just don't see it performing well. For instance, I regularly trailer to lakes, and launch for the day, then retrailer and go home or back to...

    27' new Yamaha model 275 jet boat to be unveil Thursday at the Miami Boat Show

    We boat exclusively with our 2 kids, age 2 and 7. We back into beach areas so we can sit at the stern and watch them on the beach. I would use those seats ALL. THE. TIME!

    Beautiful Sunday, Lake Livingston, TX

    And to add....Farmhouse on the Lake is a wonderful destination, their food is great. We go once every time we are at the lake, even if we have to go by road.

    Beautiful Sunday, Lake Livingston, TX

    We were up at the lake through Monday, dodging the rain storms and enjoying the serenity of a wind-less weekend. The calm made for great jet-skiing, but no wind sure makes it hot on a slow shoreline cruise in the boat (no wake speed).

    Lake Livingston, Texas

    I'll head up on Friday for the weekend or longer. I'm mid lake, east side, just north of Pinwah Slough, or what Google maps calls West Tempe, my dock looks out at the end of Indian Hill peninsula. If it's windy we stay in the cove that Indian Hill peninsula provides, if its smooth we may be up...

    Lake Ouachita Family trip need suggestions

    One of my favorite things that we did while in Hot Springs was to go through Lake Hamilton (We stayed on the south end of the lake) and go up the Ouachita River to the dam. We left the house with water temps in the low 80's, and reached the dam with water temps in the high 40's. It hurt your...

    Lake Livingston, Texas

    I saw them Saturday about the same time. We were installing a slide on our dock and they flew north of us from the Kickapoo area. They were flying high this time though, 1000ft or so I'd say. We wondered where they were from and were going. Seemed to be heading too eastwardly to be headed to...

    Got a new Lift have a few questions for those of you that have one.

    I’m assuming you have an overhead lift with cables to slings or a steel cradle. The cables on the pulleys can make some noise as the strands find their way through the pulley, it can be a kinda loud popping sound. The rotating center pole that the cables wrap around do need grease, mine have...

    Lake Livingston, Texas

    I'd love to know more about the Trinity River north of the 190 bridge. We regularly go to Farmhouse on the Lake and I've always wondered how navigable the Trinity is going upriver. Is it do-able in a boat? Are there marked channels? Im not looking to go really far upriver, just looking for...

    PSA: Story and Life Jacket

    I was on Livingston this past weekend too, the storms rolling through were impressive, especially Saturday. Where, or what, is an OxBow? I'm mid-lake, eastern shoreline, looking out at big water, 7 miles to the other shore.

    Clean out hatch levers

    Both of mine have broken on me this season. Kind of annoying. It seems this year each time we have taken our boat out I come home and have to order some replacement part.

    Do you have questions about Battery Chargers? I am here to help!

    Question, talking to a buddy here at work and we were discussing batteries and their chargers. We are planning on getting deep cycle batteries for stereos, trolling motor, etc, and a traditional battery for the starting battery. Can these two different types of batteries be charged in...

    Audience at the ramp

    My wife and I are pro's, I surmise we have the trailer backed in, boat loaded, and ramp cleared in less than 2 minutes. She drops me off at the dock, I back the trailer in, she powerloads (super steep ramp), I winch/secure, and out we go. Same with launching. She can't back the trailer but...

    Anyone leave their boat uncovered for many days?

    I went to an upholstery shop and had them add a round zippered opening right above and behind the steering wheel thats just a bit bigger than my head, as well as a large zippered "door" over the swim deck. Now we can enter through the door, close it up behind us after shimmying in, and I just...
