Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
Bring a tote or something with a cap or anything you can find that holds liquid. Can’t let that next bastard take the fuel you might need in the apocalypse.
On Saturday in the midwest, (before the pipeline shutdown in an area not affected by it). I went to the local station and they were out of 87 and 89, still had 91. they told me the truck was 4 days late because of the driver shortage. We are less than 15 mins from two refineries for the area. Not sure if this is real or media hype, but this company is paying $14K/week for drivers. Boating is going to cost more this summer, along with everything else.
Boat is currently in the driveway before the season’s launch and I mentioned our “strategic reserve” to the admiral who gave me a quizzical look and flatly said “this is why we have an electric car”. (PHEV, anyway but 50 miles range on the sparks)
