Hello my name is Jason, I'm from Enterprise, MS. I am married with 3 kids. We just purchased a Yamaha 242x. We usually boat on the Tombigbee and Black Warrior river near Demopolis. We just bought some water front property in Demopolis that we plan to build a camp on. We also plan on doing the Bahamas trip next year. I have owned several boats and pwcs but this is my first jet boat.

Welcome aboard @jaburt! Congrats on the awesome boat.

You're just to the south of me. Make sure you check out the Alabama Boaters thread. We're trying to put together some gatherings around the area.

Congratulations @jaburt !!

You bought a beautiful boat... pics please!!
You and the family will definitely enjoy it. She will ride completely different than anything you've ever had before. Fast and fun!
Let me know if you care to take the boat down to the three or so hours to the beach. @Westbeach Bum and I spent almost all of our time down there and would be happy to show you around.

Enjoy and be safe!!

I would love to do a beach outing. Is there anywhere that you know of we could stay that has boat access/slip?
We sold our camper so we would need some type of lodging not picky though.

There are quite a few free local boat ramps in the area if you wanted to trailer everyday. But if you don't mind staying on the bay instead of directly on the beach there are a few condos that also have transient boat slips for rent during your stay. I'll see if I can't find a few places and PM them to you.
