    Tahoe

    Ive read a few threads about the keel punching thru the fiberglass...? WTF??? and also the upholstery not being done very well.. I have a tracker dealer local so maybe Ill run in there and pick some brains...

    Tahoe

    Any body have any experience with Tahoe boats? The new 700 looks amazing but Ive read few things about design flaws in the their boats.. Just seeing if anyone has some insight into the maker..

    the Ultimate setup

    I think of it as an airplane wing... If the left aileron goes down, the left wing goes up

    the Ultimate setup

    The big thing for me is having that "get outta dodge" factor around the docks... Our ramp runs east/west and our breeze usually comes from the north so there is pretty much a side blow whenever we get back. Ive noticed there are times I have to jam on reverse to help line up on the trailer so...

    the Ultimate setup

    budget... Most likely 20k and under Will mainly be water sports but I dont need a huge wake. Aint no one a pro on my boat.... If I need a bigger wave for surf, I can add bags. Dont usually get too much chop on the local lake but we do get enuf for white caps...BUT... once that starts we will...

    the Ultimate setup

    Think I remember reading that somewhere... Id rather the cobras... Like the idea of the fangs being in the water... plus I think I read something along the lines that the upper bracket on the cobras diverts a little bit of spray too..

    the Ultimate setup

    So with all the talk about Yamahas customer service and @swatski tower crashing down, I kinda pushed ARs to the back burner in my search for the ultimate rig. Been looking at local stern drives, v-drives and the occasional yammer... I promise there is question coming, so keep reading... Im...

    ***WARNING*** 2015-18 YAMAHA “AR” BOAT OWNERS WITH FORWARD SWEPT WAKEBOARD TOWERS

    Well I just read all 328 posts on this... Im going to apologize now if I jump around between thoughts as there are a ton of views here Im trying to organize.. I wholeheartedly agree Yamaha should be responsible for fixing the design flaw.. If the X design incorporates a release pin, why didnt...

    To the folks thinking of buying a Yamaha: I will never buy one again.

    I dont think a chief designer would release a product that has known design flaws... Itll probably come down to the manufacture process which should be QC'd then QC'd, then QC'd again but apparently there is someone in the chain that missed a step.. Im about halfway thru @swatski post about the...

    To the folks thinking of buying a Yamaha: I will never buy one again.

    WOW!!!! that definitely changes my mind about the AR line.... I was kinda throwing the idea around of sticking to the SX side of the house (little more cost efficient new) and getting a monster or aerial but now I can see the benefits of going that way... Other than cost, safety is the number...

    Wakeboard recommendations

    Appreciate the input @swatski ... That is a beautiful board.!! Im leaning towards the 2016 LF Trip... like how it has 6 fins with the middle removable... plus as most people end thier reviews, Theres a reason its been around for a long time.

    New Speed Control / Electronic Throttle Synch For Twins / Ridesteady by Hydrophase

    Im definitely leaning towards a twin... Most likely one of the 210s if I can find... the 212x would be ideal for when the kids get into some surfing but Im not holding my breath. There are a few local 212s available but currently out of my price range. The 195 is still floating around just...

    New Speed Control / Electronic Throttle Synch For Twins / Ridesteady by Hydrophase

    Buddy of mine has a 192 and wishes he had more go... Im not really interested in top speed.. more into pulling power as the lakes up here arent all that big unless we go up to Bear Lake... The 195 is definitely and option and so are all the twins depending on value. Im looking at something in...

    New Speed Control / Electronic Throttle Synch For Twins / Ridesteady by Hydrophase

    At $1400, itll take a bit of convincing, but if I can throw kid safety in there somewhere she wont have an issue.... Maybe something like a super duper extra safety cutoff that wont allow the boat to get out of control if something goes haywire...
