    NEW MODEL INFO 2021 Yamaha 255XD Walkthrough Video

    The G23 changed the game. Tricks never possible Have been preformed behind the G23 and every boat manufacturer followed suit with the hull design.

    NEW MODEL INFO 2021 Yamaha 255XD Walkthrough Video

    The Paviti is very cool. I have seen one in real life and they do kinda look hand built. I love the bow and stern thrusters with the dock hold. I think all boats should have it. But I have watched tons of videos and Pavati claims the biggest and tallest wake. It sure isn’t the best wake though...

    NEW MODEL INFO 2021 Yamaha 255XD Walkthrough Video

    I think Yamaha did a pretty good job with the 255XD. People that are really into surfing will never or should never buy a jet boat. The Yamaha is the ultimate fun boat for the price. And they are trying to add a decent surf wave to their awesome all-around boat. As far as the captain chairs...

    Show Us Your Wake! (surfing mods comparo)

    J-RAD, thanks for your reply. I am not putting any weight in the bow. South Vally Motorsports did install the high altitudes impellers. I am not sure how they will compare to the aftermarket ones you have. It runs around 6000-6300 RPM's Trying to surf. Hits the rev limiter at 40-42 MPH if the...

    Show Us Your Wake! (surfing mods comparo)

    This might not be the thread to post this in, but there is a lot of activity and knowledge on this thread. I have a 242 Limited SE. I have the Gantlin transom bag and a 700-800 lb bag, not totally sure but I put in the center of the boat with the Wakebooster. Pocket is small but surfable and...

    Will, do you have any plans to test with a Wake Booster installed?

    242x 2016 speed control

    My LSE has to be set 2 MPH faster to hit the target speed I need. This is after I changed the impellers to the High Altitude ones. Anyone else have this problem and are running the HA impellers?

    Wake Booster

    I think it shows some potential. The delayed convergence wake is all the rage on new tow boats. It doesn’t seem to work on a jet boat. This looks like it takes water from under the boat and moves it into the jet stream making a reverse diverging wake and washing out some of the nozzle spray...

    2018 242X E-Series Wake Super Slow When Turning

    Maybe you need to explain how hard you are trying to turn. I can turn at 30 and tip the inside of my boat where you can almost touch the water over the rail. I could turn tighter and and end up tipping the boat the other way and take the chance as said above of throwing everyone out of the...

    Bouncy Shoreland'r Trailer? Carlisle Stands Behind Their Product

    Carlstar sent me a response saying the tires are still on warranty and replaced with the same tire. They did say I will have a new 2 year warranty with them and I should have better luck with this set. Some people have been denied their claim. I may have gotten mine because they are extremely...

    Bouncy Shoreland'r Trailer? Carlisle Stands Behind Their Product

    Carlstar just sent me 5 new bias ply tires exactly like the ones that are on it. WTF? I guess they need to get rid of a bunch of these tires. I will put a call in tomorrow to see if these are a new and improved version.

    2018 242X E-Series Wake Super Slow When Turning

    The trailer is not still hooked to it is it? I have a 242 LSE and it does fine at Jordanel. I ran mine with the regular impellers and it would not hit the rev limiter and topped out about 30 MPH. With the High altitude impellers it hits the rev limiters at 42MPH on glass. 30 would be top...

    Issues with hi roaster tail

    I have the regular 242 LSE and it still sprays water up in the kids face up to 70'. With this long of line it makes it hard to really whip the tube around. We have been messing around with surfing and have been able to get up with the rope with only human ballast. I am going to try the surf...

    Bouncy Shoreland'r Trailer? Carlisle Stands Behind Their Product

    I have never recieved a response from Carlisle on my tire issue. I did get the new fenders and they are way stronger built than the originals. I tried to email Rhonda to see if she will respond. This fight has been over two years now. It took a year just to get the fenders. It may be hard...

    Towing with F150.

    Aluminum, expensive but worth it when you think about a $70K boat hooked to a $60K truck. Why skimp on the piece in between? https://www.weigh-safe.com/

    Towing with F150.

    That is strange. I have a 2016 F-150. 3.5 Ecoboost that pulls my 242LSE with no problems. I did add 2000# air bags that took the sway out of the light truck. It's a towing beast and I gave up a 13' Powerstroke F-350 since I don't tow heavy any more.

    OK Which cover to get?

    I took the advice of a member and have been putting painters tape at the rub points for long trips. It works. I still think it is the bouncy trailer causing the problem. I told my dealer to watch the product video of them towing with the cover on and show me where it said not to tow. He couldn't...

    Bouncy Shoreland'r Trailer? Carlisle Stands Behind Their Product

    I have posted my dissatisfaction with my dealership on all levels with this boat. I even had it out with the service manager about all the problems I have had with this boat and their/Yamaha's service. This is my first jet boat and I hated to take it into my dealer to be looked at again and...

    My review 2016 AR240

    Did the fins help the spinning on your 240? We are thinking about naming our boat "dizzy". All it does is spin if not underway.
