    SOLD SX230 HO 2007 For Sale S/E Louisiana $19,000

    This is a bargain. I was at Deep Creek Marina Sunday and they had the same boat for $36K! The sales guy said he'd take $28K. Really?

    Life lesson learned

    Just a quick follow up. Rope came out no problem. Motor started right up. Trailer stuff all fixed and I'm better than new. Biggest downside was the lost time waiting on the insurance check. I got way lucky! All damage was superficial. I'm picking the boat up tomorrow and heading up to Deep Creek...

    Life lesson learned

    **UPDATE** We got the tow rope out and the motor fired right up; NO damage! I'm thrilled. Still waiting on insurance check. I'm thinking about sueing the the guy for loss of use.

    Life lesson learned

    So far, Boatbound has been great. They called me at 11pm on July 4th and I spoke to them again today. Lots of emails in between. Each time they have reiterated that I'm covered. They asked for two estimates which I'm working on. They advised the guys deposit is gone and since he violated...

    Mooring cover question

    I figured it out. One of the poles is missing a rubber foot. Hopefully I can steal it off the old pole.

    Life lesson learned

    I haven't been able to use my boat nearly as much as I had hoped. So when I came across a new website called Boatbound.com, I looked into it. These folks put boat owners in touch with folks who want to rent them. I was very leery, but they have thought this through and their business model...

    Tow rope bound up

    I'm getting less happy as I go along. Now I'm told there could be some damage to the non operational engine if the operator ran the running engine higher than no wake speed on the way back. Thoughts?

    Tow rope bound up

    Good info. Thanks! I did try and start the engine before I knew there was an issue. I suspect it was tried repeatedly by the operator as I found the port key still in the ON position. He had to have limped it back to the dock on one engine. What damage could have been done and how do I find...

    Tow rope bound up

    I just got my boat back from someone else using it (long story for another post) and the port engine won't start. I pulled the pop outs and there is a tow rope all wound up in there tight as cable on a winch. What is the best way to undo this mess? Would this prevent the engine from even...

    Mooring cover question

    I just scored a brand new Yamaha mooring cover to $250! New in damaged box supposedly complete. Not my first choice in color, but for better than half price, I'm not complaining! No instructions either. My question is the poles are shorter than the factory transport cover poles I had been...

    Just picked up a 2007 SX230; How did I do?

    You're right on the trailer. Boat is awesome; trailer, not so much. So far, I've bought 4 new tires, 2 submersable LED stop/tail/turn lights and 2 brake calipers. Now the brake fluid lis leaking. I guess that's what happens when it just sits around for years...

    Blue Bimini Top sale or swap

    I have a brand new complete Bimini top that came with my 230. Complete with frame and boot. Previous owner included it with the boat as a spare. Boot does not say Yamaha. I don't need a second one. I would trade it for a Yamaha OEM cover. Let me know what you have.
