New from North Carolina

[rideandfly]

Hello from North Carolina!

Purchased the 2012 SeaDoo Speedster 150 new during August of 2012. Just found this site this morning. The SeaDoo has been a trouble free 155HP jetboat and lots of fun!!!!!! This is the first jetboat we have owned. It's good on gas, has all the power we need, easy to tow, and fits nicely in the garage!

Very cool looking boat! Glad you found us, welcome!

Welcome Aboard!

Appreciate the Welcome!

We purchased the SeaDoo during August 2012, during October 2012 SeaDoo sent us a letter stating they stopped building boats during 2012. They gave us a factory warranty to the end of August 2017. Never had to use the warranty since there have been no issues with the boat.

I purchased my 210 challenger about the same time.. They extending the warranty. Great boat one of my buddies that the same boat in yellow believe it was a 2011.

What lakes do you like in the Winston area?

We're in Denver NC area on the west side of Lake Norman. Currently boat the majority of the time at Mountain Island NC. Plan to check out Lake James at Marion NC area next.

We're at Belews Lake most of the time up but occasionally do Norman, Falls or Jordan and Fontana once a year.. Fontana is by far the best lake in NC in imho. Always seems empty and you can't beat the scenery

Nice shots!!!!!!

Will check out Belews. We ride motorcycles in the NC/TN mountains and stopped at Fontana a few times on the motorcycle, so will definitely
take the SeaDoo to Fontana, too.

Thanks!

I take too many photos!

Took this while camping/kayaking at Lake Wateree, SC:



Here's another one we will check out with the SeaDoo, W. Kerr Scott Resevoir at Bandit's Roost Campground Wilkesboro NC:



A little glass on Mountain Island NC:



Changing boat trailer tires with motorcycle tire stand:



This 4 cylinder Tacoma tows the SeaDoo nicely:

The first year we stayed at Fontana Village http://www.fontanavillage.com Nice place they have cabins and rooms. Their boat ramp is a little long but if your comfortable backing no big deal

Second year we stayed on the lake. I wish I had pictures of the level expert ramp . @veedubtek pulled down and Unhitched and turned around.. Maybe he has pictures?

Welcome @rideandfly !

@Julian , Fontana is amazing. Best lake I've ever been on.

 

[rideandfly]

Appreciate the welcome from everyone!!!!!!!

We're talking about visiting Fontana Lake with the SeaDoo, soon.

 

[Scottintexas]

glad to have you on board, that's a nice looking boat and some great places to boat,

 

[rideandfly]

Appreciate the welcome!

We traded a motorcycle for our first boat, a 14' four seat Dorsett with 75 Johnson over 40 years ago.
We really appreciate all the nice features and power the 15' SeaDoo has.

I do have to admit, that is a neat looking craft. I looked at a couple of those used, but opted for the larger platform (they said buy your second boat first...).

Welcome! Great to expand the family here.

 

[rideandfly]

Appreciate the welcome!!!!!!! The technology on the boats today is great!

Cool looking Seadoo, come visit Augusta and check out our lake with us sometime! Invites always open.

 

[rideandfly]

Appreciate the invitation!

Guess this boat is a popular color with Clemson area fans and popular color in Knoxville, too!

Actually, my son at Auburn was mentioning how fetching it was...
