New Jet Boater in Pa!

[txav8r]

FORTY HOURS IN TWO WEEKS! Does that include nights and weekends? I loved my '08 SX 230, it was a great boat! I wanted to throw in my two cents and welcome you to the forum, and I expect you already know the value of the membership here and how helpful they are, congrats on the new ride and once again, welcome!

Thank you! I see you now have the 242 Limited, how do you like it? Any major differences you're finding? I may only keep mine this summer and trade up next year and am curious...

Oh man my gf and I have been spending a TON of time out so far this year...the local fuel station LOVES us I'm sure! And that definitely is nights and weekends...I couldn't even begin to calculate how much MORE time we've added since I posted that. We're both water babies so being out there is what we do best [among other things, teehee]

First off, welcome to both jet boating and this forum! I can nearly guarantee that you're going to love both, as this forum has been an invaluable source of knowledge and ideas for my boating life.
I spend a lot of time boating the Susquehanna around what's called "Lake Frédéric", down near Shelley Island. There's definitely parts of that area to steer clear of, but for the most part it's normally 4-10 ft in depth. I set my depth finder to warn me when I'm under 3 ft...which there are areas between the islands you have to be careful through.
I haven't been to Blue Marsh yet this season, but it's my favorite lake that's close by. On the weekends it can get crowded quickly, but during the week you can own it easily.
You need to get her (your boat) on the water... I'm out mostly every weekend all weekend long as my friends have a place on a Shelley Island where I can stay.
If you're ever interested in meeting up, send me a PM and I'll gladly show you the parts to be careful of and where you can open the throttles up. Somebody taught me, I have no problem with passing that knowledge along.

Mike

yours is diesel though! mines only the v6 and technically its the fiances so i only drive it when towing - just picked up my boat and having a shop check it out but once I'm ready in the next couple of weeks id love to meet so you can show me the territory - i won't take up much of your time but it would be nice to have somebody show me the ropes on a new boat/area - thanks! i'll shoot you a pm to see if you are around when i know...
