    Yamaha 2024 line up …

    This is exactly the what vehicle manufacturers are doing. I talked with a buddy of mine who's a GM at a car dealership and I asked him how his dealership wad doing and he said they are making more profit than ever even though they only have about 25% of their normal inventory. He said the...

    Is there a tag on the motor that shows the power output? It will be in kW, divide that number by 746 to give approx HP.

    2024 Wrangler can now tow 5k

    The Gladiator uses a different rear suspension already, so it won't change its tow capacity.

    New 222XD Electrical Issues

    That's the problem no one knows what's on a dealer prep list. It varies from dealer to dealer and the cost varies dealer to dealer. It's just a way for a dealer to squeeze more money from a customer. When I bought my Yamaha years ago my prep charge was 199.00 and when I bought my new boat I...

    I'd ask your dealer for a refund on the dealer prep charge.

    Jet Boat Rookie

    You don't need any add on steering aides, I had my Yamaha for 10 years and never felt like I wish I had them. It took me longer to get comfortable driving my V-drive than it did my Yamaha.

    Rockford Fosgate Vs JL Audio Setup

    The RF amps are class AB amps and I would not run a class AB amp in a Yamaha boat because of the charging limitations. I'm not sure what class amp the JL is, but if it's a class D then that's what you should go with. I ran an an sll RF system in my Yamaha, with the exception of the tower...

    Surf Pipes for Yamahas invented yet?

    The other thing I just thought of is that the FAE would need to be lower than the hull to put the exhaust fumes into the water which totally negates the jetboat advantage.
