    2020 Vx Cruiser HO

    It appears to be very thin, even loading/ unloading on trailer it scrapes off paint the hull. I am ordering a keel guard for the rest of summer and will probably have it fixed over the fall. I wonder if its worth contacting insurence to see if they can cover it.

    2020 Vx Cruiser HO

    Welp it was bound to happen lol. Do you think this is somthing I shoulda be really concerned about? Was cruising along in oc under 5mph around the sand bar and hit the bottom. I immediately shut the engine off and jumped off. But I guess i hit it just right to scratch it up. It’s crazy how easy...

    2020 Vx Cruiser HO

    Thanks for the tips! I do too wish it came with the trim adjustment because as you said you pretty much get soaked while in no wake zones. I also wish it came with cleats like the VX Limited comes with. Will also look for a dry bag, that front compartment does take in a lot of water, but some...

    2020 Vx Cruiser HO

    Just picked up a new 2020 Vx Cruiser HO! had a chance to take it out and break in the engine in the Assawoman bay in ocean city. Has plenty of power with the 1.8. I will be using it primarily in the Chesapeake which is brackish water and occasionally in Ocean City MD which is salt water. I...

    Burning Oil

    Mine is usually below the low mark when cold then halfway between low and full when hot. I checked the air filter too because I thought it was possible it went there, but the air filter is clean.

    Burning Oil

    I thought so too, but the bilge is spotless, not a drop of oil is in there. Im not positive it is fuel I just notice some type of oil is in the water coming out the back. Wish I could remember if it smelled like gas but its been a few months since I put the boat away for winter. Still odd the...

    Burning Oil

    Burning Oil

    It was a Yamaha Boat dealer up in PA who replaced it, its where I bought the boat and was maintained its whole life by them prior to me owning it. when I first noticed it burning oil I bought it back to them and they diagnosed it as the head leaking, they told me they found a bunch of oil in the...

    Burning Oil

    I talked to a yamaha dealer about the issue and they are telling me I'm in a tough spot, I still have a couple months left on the warranty and they are willing to send engine back to SBT to have them look at it, but i am being told SBT will likely do nothing and send the engine back saying...

    Burning Oil

    The engine had to be replaced because I went out for a night cruise and the tide was very low, the port side clipped a sand bar so bad that is sucked up a lot of sand and clogged all the coolant lines and overheated the engine which caused the block to crack. I never had any alarm, or lights...

    Burning Oil

    Long story short, I have a 2008 Sx230 and the port engine had to be replaced with a SBT engine. The engine runs good but it appears to burn oil, I also notice the oil gets dark very quick compared to the starboard side engine (which is original). Oil Changes are done by myself every spring. Last...

    Any northern Chesapeake bay members here??

    Yeah we dock up there all the time, I like to go around the backside of the bar to the small beach, you can usually throw the anchor and back the boat up to the beach, let me know when ever you guys go out, Tolchester also has a pretty big beach, and a tiki bar, Tolchester beach is located about...

    Completed 2008 SX230 Maryland

    At the end of last season I was operating at night and the tide was low and the port side scraped a sand bar and sucked up a bunch of sand and mud. It overheated the engine and cracked the block. I never got any engine light saying it was overheating. It was so full of sand that the pee hole on...
