Hello from Utah! NooB alert!

[Lynkage]

Hello everyone I'm Shane and I just purchased a new to me 2008 AR230. This is my first boat however I do have Sea Doo's and my family has been in boats all of my life. Getting ready to install my new Thrust Vectors and Lateral Thrusters! Very excited to be boating! Lake Powell is our first destination!!

Please break me in all at once!

Congrats on your purchase and living in my favorite state in the Union as well!

Lake Powell is our lake too. What part of the lake do you usually go?

Our toys are in Moab, so either Bullfrog or Halls Crossing.

We do lots of off-roading as well!

And the Sea Doo's! Just sold the Kawasaki's to buy these!

They look gorgeous! Bullfrog ramp is wet again, hopefully we don’t see that lake that low again. How soon is your maiden voyage?

We set sail with the extended family on June 3rd with a houseboat for a week! Water will be cold but hopefully it will be sunny. We have wet suits!! I too hope it never gets that low again, I remember back in the early to mid 80's how full it was vs where we are now!

Thank you!

We'll be up there on June 3 also, but on the south end. We live in Flagstaff so the south end is much more accessible to us. Really hoping the water temp climbs quickly! Daytime surface temp is usually 5-6 degrees warmer than what’s reported. Reported temp is taken at midnight at the end of the dock at Wahweap.

I too remember how full it was through the 80’s and most of the 90’s. Looks like this year will bring back it up to “new normal”.

It should be a great summer at the lake this year for sure!!
