One picture of your last outing.

My buddy took this shot last weekend while he was floating into the cove and got me while I was inflating the wifes SUP. Was a good day on the water though and good see some familiar faces while we were out.

Was an awesome day! Got to the ramp right before it must have turned into a shit show, cause when we went to pull out there were trucks and trailers all over every spare piece of area, including ditches and up on hills. Was wild! So much to the state park shutting down ramps if they got full. They should probably open up the rest of the ramps if they aren't going to handle traffic control. Otherwise you're packing 250 into a ramp that should hold maybe 180.

Cruising Jordan Lake today with my ladies up front...

First day on the water with the 2020 AR240, couple miles west of Destin/Crab Island.

I'm in the same boat (pun intended). Wanted to get one for the dogs. Not sure if it's worth it. And they're costly

Doggo approved. Got a little better at folding it up today, definitely a great addition. I got this one for ~$300. Pop onto Alibab and start haggling with everyone.

Does it come with a lite?

BYOlite, but a good place to enjoy one.

I have been thinking about getting one, but I haven’t pulled the trigger. I can’t decide on wether to go inflatable or foam mat.

We went inflatable, just no room on the boat to store a foam one long term. If we lived on the water, would probably go foam. This fits easily in the ski locker alongside our main tube and inflatable SUP.

Does she get up there on her own? Would it be easier with the mat? How long does it take to blow it up? And how long does it take to put it away?

Still need to lift him on with the handle on the lifejacket, but it is easier for him than the back deck as the mat will submerge a bit at the edge with the weight of you and the dog. His hips are starting to get bad, so anything that's easier for him is good for us.

Probably about 10 minutes to inflate/deploy. 5 minutes to put away, I use the deflate setting on the pump to get it truly empty. I just dry it off as I fold it up, and fits nicely in the ski locker.

I remember when I started drinking my 1st beer ... Sorry, had to say that

@JDFester where did you get your flag mounts for the tower? They look great!

 

[Mark TN]

Loving great boating weather!

 

[gwrace1]

Had a blast with the new 195S

 

[mjs5128]

Fam squad out for the maiden voyage of the 195S. This thing moves!!



Wifey was proud of her park job, so she obviously had to take a picture.

 

[gwrace1]

Yeah we felt the same way. Plenty of hole shot and top end speed. A lot of fun to drive.

Hit Crab Island yesterday. The weekdays work better for me crowd wise. ?

Anything open or just boats hanging out?

Getting back on the trailer was interesting to say the least. Lots of cross wind pushed the boat right into my VeVe guide rails. Thankfully they did their job and stopped the boat from going up and over the fender of the trailer. Looked like an ass, but at least my boat wasn’t damaged. Gotta get use to that low speed steering on these jet boats.

I trained my son thusly:

We went into the middle of the lake. I tossed out a fender. Then told him to go off from it a ways. Then turn around and pretend it is a swimmer. Approach to bring the swimmer on the starboard side and stop at the swim deck.

Then, go away again. Come back and pretend the fender is the dock. Approach at a 45 degree angle, helm to the 'dock' and reverse so you are parallel to the 'dock'.

Then... and keep repeating until comfortable with the low speed maneuvering. When you get back to the trailer, you will see a night and day difference.

It was cold, but we got our first outing in on Sunday. Was nice to be somewhere OTHER than the house.
