Saying Hi from MD

[ravi4l]

Just Saying Hi new here just ordered 2015 Yamaha 242 LS in gray as my first jet boat. now let the waiting begun. Hoping it shows up after I get my boat lift in soon. Dealer told me it’s going to be about 4 to 8 weeks does anyone know what real wait time is on these things. Oh I’m on Potomac River close Tims River shore.

Thanks
Ravi

Welcome @ravi4l and congrats on the new boat. I don't really know what the wait time for delivery is. I'm sure it depends on time of year and demand. I don't have the patience to wait so I commend you for that. make sure to post pics of the boat when it does arrive.

Congrats on the purchase. I live in Annapolis and do most of my boating on the West & Rhode rivers and the Chesapeake. I want to trailer the boat to the Potomac this summer. Where is the best place to drop it in? Looking to spend two days on the river. Any campgrounds or hotels (besides national harbor) a long the river?

When I go there I put in at Fort Washington Marina. From there its a nice ride up the Potomac through Alexandria and into DC.

They have reasonable rates, nice floating concrete docks and a gas dock. We usually stay in downtown Alexandria at one of the hotels. It's short drive from the Marina.

Welcome!

Chesbay007 thanks I’m new to boating but staying and getting your boat on water I would look at small wood state park http://dnr2.maryland.gov/publiclands/Pages/southern/smallwood.aspx it’s very nice pretty cheap and cabins are nice. I have my own boat ramp. If you can’t find somewhere nice to drop let me know you can use mine as long tide is high.

Welcome aboard! You must be right across the river from me, I'm in Woodbridge in VA. I put in at Leesylvania State Park just north of Tim's. Belmont Bay is a great place to hang out, its on the back side of Mason Neck State Park, its a shallow sandy bottom place where tons of boaters go to do the sandbar type of boating.
