    Pictures of your 21ft sitting in the garage

    2011 with tower removed. The garage door is 6'11" due to trim and it squeezes right under.

    One picture of your last outing.

    Also perfect for wakeboarding. Sliding sideways in the turns is an awesome experience.

    Tips on teaching wife to drive the boat so I can wakeboard

    Have her learn to drive first and be comfortable. Then move on to tow sports. As many others have said, Perfect Pass is your best friend.

    Depth maps

    I've only used the Navionics app. If cell coverage is spotty, be sure to download the maps locally for the area that you'll be boating in (this will also save on your data plan)

    Include the garage? Seriously, storage with the tower up...that's ridiculous. Good luck with the sale, looks brand new.

    2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee good tow vehicle?

    I have a 2015 with the V6 and it tows the 21' just fine and gets good mileage when I don't tow. If I had the 24', I'd get the Hemi. Don't let the dealer talk you into an aftermarket hitch receiver. If it doesn't have the tow package, move on to one that does.

    Completed 2017 Perfect Pass Group Buy

    For anyone on the fence, I bought mine last year and am only disappointed that I didn't buy one earlier. Perfect Pass is the #1 accessory you can add if you do watersports.

    Whoa, I didn't see that one coming. I used to store my boat there as well and would get the same response as @GTBRMC

    Yamaha 210/212 hull evolution

    I believe the hull was the same from 2006-2011. 2012 has the newer design with the lower platform that lasted until 2015

    My boat hull is clean again!

    Looks great. How did you like the Gel formula? I used the liquid with a brush on a stick and it seemed to work well and took me about an hour or so (I just did the white part of the hull). I left my boat in the water from May - Sept for the first time this year and only pressure washed when I...

    Wakeboarding on jet boat without ballast.

    Nice work! For binding placement, you can either only point your lead foot out a bit, or do both equally. The first is better to start with, but having both bindings slightly pointed out helps to ride switch. 75' of rope is fine for starting, it'll put you far back enough were you can learn...

    There are TWO changes to EVERY boat in the 2017 line up! And one other change...

    Here is my take on the engine flush placement: When I flush the engines, I keep the hatch open and use a hose shut off in order to be able to keep everything needed within reach. With the ports on the back deck, you'll need to open/close the engine hatch to get to them. Now, perhaps the...

    Fortress FX-7, fits fine in the 2007 to 2009 230 anchor locker with a little modification

    The dealer I bought my boat from cut the shank and stock in order to allow my anchor to fit in my AR210 locker. They had the proper materials and took them about 20 minutes to cut, drill, and grind the edges smooth. Looking at it now, you'd never know.
