    What else do you need to get started?

    I'm new to this forum (and jet boating!), and this seems like a great place to get some advice. I just reserved a 2018 Yamaha 242X and am curious about what recommendations you might have for other stuff I need to get started. I understand the Yamaha comes pretty much ready to go, but I know...

    2016 242 LSE vs 2013 212X Decision

    Some of you know that I'm in the middle of my @Betik style mad scramble to get a boat bought and prepped for Bimini... I thought (think) I was dead set on a 2016 242 LSE, or maybe not, Now I'm thinking a 2013 212X may be a better all around boat for me since I'd AT MOST be going to Bimini once a...

    Loan Fees... what is reasonable?

    I'm looking to buy my first boat this coming weekend at the boat show. I decided to line up financing beforehand in case anyone tries to mess me around at the show (sort of as a back pocket option if I don't like what they're trying to sell me there). Got the financing approval through Essex...

    Pulled the trigger this weekend on a 2016 AR240!

    Officially a Yamaha owner as of two days ago. Excited to get her in the water this coming weekend (we take delivery on Tuesday). Going to post in a different thread about what bolt pattern and tire/rim size these trailers come with. But super happy to see how she runs. Look forward to virtually...

    2016 Tige R21

    So we have been avid Yamaha boat lovers for a few years now with our 212X. But over the last year my wife and I have been discussing trading up to a more wake/surf specific boat. We had been seriously looking at the Axis and actually almost signed on one. But then we ended up at the Houston...
