    The Brand New 2017 Yamaha AR195 and SX195

    What? From the Yamaha site on 19ft boats: "Yamaha Advanced Responsive Handling includes the award winning Articulating Keel, No Wake Mode™ and Thrust Directional Enhancer." https://yamahaboats.com/19-ft-boats/ I did not think 2016's had this, I thought 2016 was all 24ft upgrades??

    2017 Yamaha 242 Limited S E-Series Photos

    I really like the white with white tower, with dark bottom. Makes it look yacht-ish. Also slims it down vertically, allows the higher freeboard without looking bloaty

    Tesla electric truck

    So the other day, Elon Musk announced that Tesla would be making a pickup truck that would take on the likes of the F150. This seems like it would be ideal for towing, with all torque at zero rpm. I just hope they can keep the weight down.... The Model S already weights 5000lb with its batteries...

    Very close to closing a deal on 242 Limited S E-Series

    If I had cash to buy the boat up front, and the dealer was pushing me hard to take a loan, I'd just say "OK, I'll take a loan at 8% if you give me $xxx off the boat". Then pay off the entire loan after the first month.You might have to pay an annual fee or something but might get more off the...

    FINALLY! THE ULTIMATE WINTERIZATION VIDEO HAS ARRIVED

    Great video. One question, why did you fog the motor the first time, if you were just going to do it again while putting the antifreeze in?

    2016 Lineup of boats - The real info will be posted at 7 PM EST on Saturday August 22nd

    Yeah but not electric drive....the other guy posted the emissions registration doc that said E-series has 1812cc engine....unless its a hybrid setup. "E" could mean "Electronic" as in "electronic goodies like drive by wire, joystick control etc"

    Electrical Connector

    Why are you messing with this? Just get the connector that murf n surf linked. Leave it attached to the boat if you are worried about losing it. This is a cheap and reliable way to go, and you dont sacrifice the 5 pin connector if you ever need it.

    Picking a college for my daughter....HELP.

    What about Florida State?? Thats only 2hrs from you. Great brand too. You can do what my dad did...he told me "I have $20k saved for you. Anything beyond that is on you. Also, if you go to college on scholarship, I'll buy you a nice car as well." (by "nice" he meant $8k or so). Luckily the...

    Show us what you see!!!

    Basically just like it sounds, it simulates the environment of space. You put a satellite inside it, pump out the air to a near-perfect vacuum, flood it with liquid nitrogen and helium to get to near-absolute-zero temps, and see if the thing still works. Can also use the heat lamps on top to...
