Wow, 2 years... Time flies. Can't believe that we're heading into our 3rd summer of being boaters.

Feeling very blessed after a tremendous day on the lake with new friends and old. This is why we bought a boat. Memories that will last lifetimes for our family and our friends.

Did some early morning garage boating (If you have to ask, dont...)

Just a boy and his Seadek on a Sunday morning.

Have you experienced any sunburn on any of the seadek pads. I have experienced really bad sunburn on the #1 piece in the bow around the perimeter. Also on the #2 piece on the ski locker. I had alot of faith in seadek, but didn't realize that it is so sensitive to the glares of the sun

I have not, mine looks new. I do have some stains from Georgia clay that are slowly working themselves out, but aside from them, ours is holding up well. Reach out to Will @JetBoatPilot and maybe send him some pictures.

Yes we can warranty or help with getting it fixed.

Just reading through this thread. Wanting to get my first jet boat also. I have boys a little older than yours 15,12,9...do you feel your ar190 has the power needed for water sports? Or would you suggest a twin engine would be better?
Thanks

@Moreyrd I think the power is fine. The space might be tight. When my boys 2 are a bit older I'd like to be in at least a 21 footer. I think sine you have 3 boys, and they may want to bring a friend or girlfriend at some point you would be better off buying a 21. Plus, you can always fit a wake wedge and get some ballast and have a better overall experience.
