    What's your favorite Bourbon?

    Here’s how the bar is currently stocked. I’ve been really enjoying the New Rift Single Barrel. There’s an “Easter Egg” hidden as well. If you know, you’ll know.

    The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

    Looks great! I have yet to take the stickers off my boat, but do it on all my trucks. I do a half-season haul out/hull clean. I may need to bring the heat gun and scrape the stickers.

    What is this chic riding?

    I’m intrigued

    Shade tree mechanic says my engine is blown, I don’t trust him.

    Buying a hot tub… what are realistic prices?

    Sorry, I was fighting bacteria last night when I posted that… Didn’t mean to blow you off. My tub is NOT set up for salt water, does that mean ozone is the only alternative? This one has a built in Frog system that is supposedly easy to use. I’m sure I’ll find out in a few months if that’s...

    Buying a hot tub… what are realistic prices?

    My plan for the bacteria is to drink enough bourbon and smoke enough cigars that even the most robust bacteria will abandon hope, and look for easier prey… ETA: Wire is unbelievably expensive these days. I just paid $425 for 125’ of 8/3g.

    Buying a hot tub… what are realistic prices?

    I have a brick paver patio that I’m pulling up an area to fill with gravel for the tub. Wires are getting run by me this weekend. Just bought the tub. Paid $10k with cover & cover assist, steps, and delivery/install. Just in time too, my back is killing me!!

    Buying a hot tub… what are realistic prices?

    Thanks for the advice! From what I’ve read Hot Springs seems to be a good brand, and if the insulation is good enough in upper NY it should serve me well in Southern Indiana.

    Buying a hot tub… what are realistic prices?

    I’m in the market for a hot tub. Nothing fancy, but want a 6-7 seat spa. Currently looking at the HotSprings Rythm and want to know what a realistic price for one of these would be so I know what to negotiate towards. Does anyone have recent experience with one of these??

    Anyone do any Hog Hunting?

    Next time you run into one let them know you know a Marine with a Wildlife Biology degree that would be happy to help him with his problem :)

    Anyone do any Hog Hunting?

    Hog hunting is all over Texas. The last two years I was in the Dallas area and before that I went down to Southern Texas. Lots of pigs in the state. There are a few of us that go and we all have thermal sights on our rifles. It’s a pretty good time but I’d love to find a place where I’m not...

    Another Cavitation/Loss of Top Speed Thread...

    I think many (including me) change the plugs yearly. I’m not sure on the tolerance, but to be honest the old wear rings looked just fine after I pulled them… I’ll pull the filters and see if that improves performance on the last ride this weekend.

    Another Cavitation/Loss of Top Speed Thread...

    A little follow up on this as I know this topic gets searched often… I replaced both wear rings with the plastic liner style units and also gave the impellers some attention while I had them off. One of them had a small ding in it that I was able to correct and file back into place. I also...

    Fire-Pit on Pontoon Boat mod

    To the OP: You my friend, are a real American hero. That is badass

    Sea Doo just made a pontoon jet!

    Initial I thought this looked pretty lame, but I agree it’s innovative and I’m excited to see one at the lake. Still, I’m not sure who the 13’ demographic is though…

    AR250 Decals Removed

    Are there green accents anywhere inside the boat; seat piping, etc.? If not I would be inclined to remove the green also. I think an all black hull is pretty classy, but a matte stripe could be a nice touch too.

    One picture of your last outing.

    Family trip to Western Michigan with a few days out on the big lake. We got lucky with a few days with an East wind where we got to ski on Lake Michigan on glass. Once in a lifetime skiing that will be hard to top.

    Wear Ring Replacement - AKA - Transom Plate Disaster!

    Holes drilled and tapped and the pump is back in place! I usually don’t get anxious about things, but was pretty worried with vacation coming up at the end of the week. Thanks for steering me in the right direction Jeff! —- see what I did there… Now I’m eager to see if the tunnel sealing...
