Looking for any advice - new boater

[osuart]

posted in the model specific but figured anyone might be able to help. heading over to test drive a 2015 ar192 with less than 100 hours on it. I cannot get the FAQs to open on my Mac and have even tried my iPad. Any threads you recommend I read before heading out. have owned and worked on many cars so have that knowledge but anything boat/yamaha/192 specific would be awesome. Thanks in advance!!

I found this one in the faq:

https://jetboaters.net/threads/new-boat-check-list.919/

There's a word document in the thread. For a used boat, I'd also check cylinder compression an make sure the engine is cold when you start it. Then star it once more after it's been running for 15 minutes.

if Your wanting a boat to take in the ocean I’d buy a bigger boat. In lakes it will be fine.

Curious what browser you were using. Did you try Chrome?

I’ll try that- might have been safari

Can’t speak to any specifics but my general / smart a$$ advice is keep your debit card handy. BOAT is short for break or bust out another thousand (and sometimes you will wish it was just a thousand).

Fun cost money- German autos or boats I guess all the same

Good luck with the test drive/sea trial. Don’t forget to let us know if you join our club/cult. Hint: we like pics.
