    Does anyone tow a 210 with a 4Runner?

    It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Still patiently waiting for my 210fsh to show up at the dealership. I signed the purchase agreement the day the 2022 prices were announced. My question is about dragging a 210 to Florida from Ohio with a 2022 4Runner. My wife & kids are flying into...

    My boobs - they shed water!

    Hah! Clickbait! I have mentioned a few times here about putting some beach balls in the bow of my boat while towing. You're not supposed to tow with the poles in place, but the wind pushes the cover down INTO the bow, and if you're caught in the rain like I have been several times, there's...

    Towing an empty trailer long distances

    Hi guys. Best friend of mine just bought a 2009 Sea Doo GTX, but it didn’t come with a trailer. We’ve been looking in the classifieds but with covid, we’ve had no luck. there’s a place about 2 hours from us selling new trailers for those skis but I’m worried about the trip. It’s about 150...

    Anyone had their boat shipped and/or towed on a trailer and used a company they would recommend?

    Towing with the tower down

    I’ve got a 2012 212x, is it ok to tow it with the tower down if you have the brackets/ towing bars / arms in place. Not exactly sure what those things are called. Thanks

    Well, sucked a rope!

    So yeap, sucked a rope on my starboard engine....noticed very quick. Stopped the engine and went to the marina very, very slowly. So obviously the protective sleeve is a joke and in reality does more damage than help. On my previous SeaDoo boat, I was able to remove the rope from the shaft (in...

    '15+ 240/242 tongue weight

    Is it me or do these boats fill heavy on the tongue? When I pull, it feels real "spongy" and gives the sensation of being overweight but that is not the case. I have pulled trailers for years but this boat fells a little different?

    Do you tow tubes from your tower or lower tow hook?

    Curious to know who tows tubes from their tower, and if they do, do you tow ALL tubes from the tower regardless of size, or would you, for example, not tow a Bandwagon2+2 from the tower as it weighs too much? If you don't tow tubes, or don't have a tower...please don't vote.

    2015 AR240 - Easy towing a 36 foot sail boat

    There have been posts mentioning that it's hard to tow other boats with the Yamaha jet boats. With this in mind, I hesitantly agreed to give a 35 foot (ish) sail boat a tow into the marina a couple days ago. I towed them for about a mile in medium winds. I wanted to hook their tow rope up to the...

    2013 SX210 Deluxe Premium Mooring Cover

    Looking for a new mooring cover for my 2013 SX210. Does anyone know if the Deluxe Premium Mooring Cover (MAR-210-BK-NT-14) can be used with the bimini upright, or does the bimini need to be stowed in the down position? I currently have a Premium mooring cover (Gray), which has cutouts for...
