16th Season with AR230

Boring post, but I just hit the water for the first time yesterday. Changed the oil, changed the plugs, checked the bearing grease. Runs like a champ. What a great boat. I've done more to the trailer than the boat.

That's awesome you have that type of reliability. May I ask whether or not you boat in fresh water, and also how many hours have you been able to achieve.

Fresh water. I haven't check hours in a while. I think I may be at 700 hrs or so. Just trailered it a little bit ago and driving in some good water...47.1 mph and 10,200 rpms.

Here is a photo after new wheels and tires on trailer and one docked from last night. I haven't given a proper cleaning this year. Just removed the cover and wiped it down.

That boat looks amazing! I hope we can pull off the same thing. Although I may get two-foot-itis in a few years ?.

Change the oil and spark plugs every season, check bearing grease tube firmness. If it's not firm add grease until firm. Other than cleaning and polishing now and then that's it. It has had the interior replaced, seadek, perfect pass and stereo upgrade but that's it.

Awesome! Thanks!

Have you ever pulled the pumps or lubed the cones?

Nope. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm assuming there is as much lube in there as day 1. If there were water intrusion it would have impacted something by now. Maybe one day.
