Hello All!
I will be picking up my new 2018 AR240 from the dealership in Miami on Thursday. I bought it on Saturday and left it behind getting a few upgrades ( Upgraded all speakers to JL Audio , 8.8 Wake Tower Speakers and Jet Boat Pilot Thrust Vectors). This is going to be a very expensive hobby...
Question 1
This is my first brand new boat. Should I inspect it with the dealership? What specifically should I test?
Question 2
I have decided to keep the boat in a wet slip marina (freshwater / river of Miami). Although the opinions are mixed I know I will get more fun time with it in a wet slip. After all I bought this boat to make memories and have fun with my family. Once my bank account recuperates I plan on purchasing a lift.
For now I am going to install a dual bank batter charger that I will keep connected to shore power. Should I upgrade the plugs? How often should I pull it out of the water and clean? Is there any routine maintenance I should perform since it will be wet slipped? What other precautions should I take?
Any insights or feedback is greatly appreciated it. Thanks!
