    Thrust Vector X Install

    This past weekend I installed JBP's Thrust Vector X system on my 2019 AR240. Low speed maneuvering was improved 1000% (scientific calculation). For the first time in my short time of ownership, I felt confident in docking and loading the boat. However, I noticed while at speed there was a...

    necessary to winterize?

    I have a 2017 AR240 with 40 hours on it now, I did the 10 hour/breakin service around 20 hours (mid-summer) at the dealership. So the oil in the boat is only a few months old with 20 hours on it.

    So I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to surf behind my ar240. I was trying to parse together the information from other posts, but there is a lot to look through and I wasn't making much head way. I know I need ballast, but how much? Can I get by with just ballast? We have never surfed...

    Want To Buy 2012-2013, 242LS or 212x

    My wife has green-lighted a new boat for our family. After being a long-time Yamaha Waverunner owner and SeaDoo X-20 owner, I have always lurked the Yamaha forums for a 21-24' boat. My reason for this vintage is the updated hull and tip-down towers. A 2013 with any leftover YES contract would...
