New Jet Boat Owner in Raleigh NC

[kc919]

Hi All,

New to the site and new to jet boats in general. Just bought a 2017 212x last month and pick it up next week (been waiting for our boathouse to be finished). This site has been fantastic and I look forward to spending lots of time here. Just curious if anybody has any GPS recommendations for the 212x? I don't need anything fancy because it probably won't leave the lake we are on, but would still like to have one.

Thanks!

Kevin C.
Raleigh, NC

I heard it's a gorgeous lake, haven't been up there yet but going to check it out this summer.

Thanks...We are pretty excited about it. We moved from Detroit about 8 years ago and have missed the lakes ever since...finally, I broke down and bought a place...haha

Congratulations @kc919
I am so jealous of you having a new boat and a place on the water. Before taking delivery make sure the dealership repairs the anchor locker drain on the inside.
Which color did you get?

Ahhh yes...thank you, I almost forgot about the anchor locker drain...We ended up getting Blue because my wife thought it was more fun...haha.

Thank you! Gaston is pretty awesome...Let me know if you make it up there! It's a really quick ride (90 minutes) and well worth it.
