Sad to say but we sold our boat

[rkluck]

Over the past couple of years our kids, nephews and nieces have all started very busy lives. We also bought a lake house several years ago. Between the lake of kids and spending more time fishing from the dock than riding we decided to sell our boat. We loved her but spent too much time cleaning her for how little we used her. The boat sold quick and we were very pleased.

This forum has been great and I have enjoyed all the sharing of Knowledge and pictures.

We purchased a Carolina Skiff to ride and fish with. It is easy pull to Savannah or any location we want.

FYI - I am having to get used to a totally different boat. I didn't realize how good I had gotten at maneuvering a large boat like the 242LS with twin engines. Not to mention just the plain power of the boat.

I do have the front ladder, the center table pole, Yamaha oil and filter for a oil change on two engines if anyone is interested. I actually have skies and wakeboard as well. I don't think we will be using them any more either.

I miss the boat but look forward to the adventures and fun we will have now.

Bummer....but lives to do change....(I'll add Carolina Skiff to the manufacturers list for ya so you don't feel too left out!)

The table pole isn't one of the side mounting style is it?
I was looking for a kids size wakeboard too...is it a smaller size board? My daughter is 5'3" (well yesterday she was! LOL)

Sad to hear this sale @rkluck but hope the next journey in front of you is a good one ! My wife and I are hitting the empty nester portion of our journey, I find the lake and fun it offers keep them coming back !....they'll be back after a few adjustments to their lifestyles when they hit their rhythm

Saw this thread the other day on the table : https://jetboaters.net/threads/table-leg-replacement.6126/ by @twentiesforever fwiw

I'm also interested in the table pole if Julian backs out.

Put @DieselCamel next in line for the table leg. He's been hunting one for awhile.

I've seen those table legs on ebay and amazon often....I bought a few to let me move the boat table to the dock easily

Don't worry @rkluck, someday your kids will be back with their kids and you'll be buying an even bigger jet boat.

 

[rkluck]

Thanks for all the kind words. The table leg is bent for the inside part of the boat. I will get a picture and post it as soon as get back to the lake house. I should have brought it with me!

 

[twentiesforever]

@rkluck I would totally take it if still available. I would hate paying $150 or more for a piece of metal. Thanks for the mention @justason

That's a tough one @rkluck but I totally understand. I think I'll be right behind you in a few years time.

Let's see a pic of the Carolina Skiff.

 

[rkluck]

This is her. I put in a Lowrance Monday. The Bimini top cover 3/4 of the boat (console back to rear platform) which is nice.

@rkluck - what type/size wakeboard do you have and how much you looking for?

 

[rkluck]

This is the wakeboard and skies. PM me if you are interested.

Finally got the pictures of the leg and oil/filter.

Finally got the pictures of the leg and oil/filter.

So how much do you want for the table leg? Does the base that slots into the holder have a notch in it for the spring loaded pin? You can see my table leg holder in my new signature image....is yours the same?

 

[rkluck]

I will look tonight and see if it has a notch or not tonight.

 

[Julian]

I will look tonight and see if it has a notch or not tonight.

Awesome....I could have used this leg over the weekend while I was bbq'ing on the back deck, I needed a leg for the table in the cabin! Does the base look familiar to you?

 

[Bill D]

@Julian do the new boats only come with one table leg?

 

[veedubtek]

The leg from my '11 definitely didn't have the notch. Also, when I bought the table leg cover from jetboatpilot, it didn't fit my '11 either, turns out they at least changed the base in 12, probably the leg as well. Not to say you couldn't cut the notch into it (assuming it fits), or just don't use the locking pin.
