    What's your favorite Bourbon?

    A friend of mine got me a cocktail smoker. Tried it out with a glass of Whistlepig Rye. Cheers!

    Raleigh Boat Show 22-24 March 2024

    Yea I’ve got a church breakfast Saturday morning. Unsure whether I’ll have the energy for a day trip after that.

    One picture of your last outing.

    Let’s bring this back to the top of the forum. 1st outing of the year, 3rd season with the 252X and this makes my 9th year as a jet boat owner.

    Pulled the Trigger on 1st Jet Boat

    Keel guard is a cheap and easy mod and a must if you are going to beach it.

    Spider Cracks - Big Deal?

    If that's the only issue and the boat is otherwise in good working order, I would not let that hold up the sale. That handle is for pulling yourself up onto the swim platform so as long as it's secure it's still functional. Just don't tow from it or use it to secure ballast bags.

    Stern tow hook

    I've done the same many times on both my 2010 AR240 and my current 252X--never had any issues and never saw any damage from exceeding the tow hook capacity, whatever it is.

    Dealers in the San Antonio/Austin area

    My oldest son and my wife’s family lives over where you are. I was there last summer and saw a 255XD docked there as I drove over the bridge. Lake looked awful weedy to have a Yamaha on there—do you see them out a lot?

    black hull bottoms please chime in ..

    1500 grit isn’t going to cut through all your gel coat, otherwise we are all in trouble. If you are worried, just start with some cutting compound and a wool pad. If that doesn’t do the trick then you can step up to something more aggressive.

    Rate your 2023 boating season

    Probably a solid ‘B’. No issues, but really didn’t travel much or see new places. Probably my last outing of the year today.

    Do you multipurpose your boat?

    Same. I fish on my friends’ boats and they drink and do watersports on mine.

    Interested in Purchasing 240/Handling

    The newer 240 models have updated huls and articulating keels that generally make the boat track and turn better but I would not use that as the sole reason not to look at something older. I’ve owned a 2007, 2010, and 2022 Yamaha. All great boats.

    Air Fare

    Frontier/Spirit are cheap but be prepared for an uncomfortable flight. I did it from Raleigh—San Diego and won’t do that again.

    Wakeboarding critique requested

    Nice! Now get yourself some good tower speakers so you can rock out when jumping the wake.

    2011 Yamaha 242 Limited S Radio

    Is this a new problem or did the boat come like this? Any other electrical problems or just the speakers? You can try disconnecting them one at a time to isolate. Check to make sure you are not stuck in mute…

    Completed 2019 Yamaha 242 Limited SE

    Damn sorry to see you leave the jet boating world. You introduced me to this lifestyle and I’m still loving it. Hope you find a good buyer and maybe I’ll see you out on your new ride.
