If not under inflated, which it should not be at that psi, then check the toe with a measuring tape. Measure at 3 o'clock and compare with 9 o'clock on the tire. Obviously measure the inside between the tires. If toed in it will wear the outside and if toed out it will wear the inside. Camber is measured at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Positive camber will wear the outside and negative camber will wear the inside. Camber is more difficult to measure due to the top of the tire being enclosed in a fender. I have an old Alemite toe bar that my dad has used since the 70's. Very similar to this. SPC Performance Toe Measuring Gauge 39 In.-60 In. 99374
I know, it does not do you any good sitting in my garage. A picture works too...

New tires just delivered under warranty. Pretty shocked it was within 2days.

We had a big blow come thru the area this afternoon. Marina manager said the anemometer hit 45 kts at the office as I went to the marina after to check the boat and tighten up the lines.

The first one at 3:07.


And this one 30 mins later.


More storm.


The boat weathered it well.

It was so windy that this little one jumped from the tree and wanted in.

Good thing, they cover up to $45 per tire for Mount and balance. Not a bad warranty process.
 
I water tested my new boat yesterday and I will pick it up Saturday morning. I've been thinking about a 24ft yamaha since 2019, but COVID prices kept me out. I started thinking that I would never get 1, then I saw this listed at a boat dealer in the Hamptons, the year, color, hours, price, everything perfect. Even comes with a wakebooster and extras! It's a 2019 Yamaha 242 Limited S E-Series with 65 hours. It was my first time driving a 24ft yamaha and I was surprised at how nice the limited s interior is. First mods will be a onboard charger, and I read that the stock wetsounds amp is detuned so I took the JL M700/5 from my old boat. Subwoofer isn't currently working so I'm thinking either the new amp will fix it or its a wire issue at the back of the sub.

And I currently have 2 boats! I hope that my 2014 AR192 sells before I go to Colombia in a few weeks.

Nice, you can fit a few more bikini sporting "crew" on this boat. Keep the pics coming.

My neighbor stopped by last night and dropped these off for me. He has a 24’ Scout DC and said he won’t be water skiing anymore. I have never water skied before. He said it isn’t difficult and I shouldn’t have any issue pulling somebody with my boat.

Haha I have lots of pictures, but sometimes I don't want to post because you can clearly see their faces. Also I don't want a future gf to find my profile here. The demographic of woman that I like are usually.. lets just say.. crazy and jealous..

The head compartment is a game changer. I like to hang out late and at night, and the girls typically don't want to go in the water at night. One of my girls is like "you have a bathroom? now I can came out"

Agreed…tire irons are easy to use, but breaking the bead can be tough. I use the loader frame.

Ferry Dock Marina, a marina to our South, had a fireworks display last night to celebrate their guests and waterfront workers. Viewed from the bar at the tent at our marina.

That will look great on Lake George! Congrats, I feel your pain on the two, still working on getting rid of the 195, but the 240's are awesome I love mine!

The issue with crazy girls is that when you’re not having sex all that’s left is the crazy….that juice ain’t worth the squeeze. Ask me how I know ?
 
New skins. Old vs New. See if I can get more than a 1000 miles out of these. Thankfully they were warrantied and delivered next day to my house. They also cover $45 a tire for Mount and balance.
