I just read this article in Boat U.S.
It’s an eye chart as a pic so here is a summary:

Jaime Gomez buys a 24 Yamaha jet boat, Stimulus Money, takes 12 people to the Hudson River three months later in July of 2022. Ends up capsizing (after operating at high speed during a small craft advisory), a 7 year old as well as 48 year old drowned.

Jamie was running an unlicensed charter and didn’t have his captain’s certificate so he is even more screwed.

Just a tragic reminder that some people have more dollars than sense.

Have you been to Dinosaur National Monument? You'd love it!

I have not. I need to get down to the mammoth dig.

I grew up in a family of charter captains. Nothing worse than a pirate who cheats the system while other do it the legal way. In Ohio, all licensed charter captains MUST have a sticker on your windscreen for that year. Each year the year and color of the sticker change. You can only get a new sticker for the year by providing your USCG captains license documents. Very obvious on who’s who in the marina.

Wife made some of the cockpit cushions yesterday. She decided a couple more were needed for the corners. I thought that area would be stepped on more than sat on, butt…good.



She got out a cheese plate, friends came over and the snaps did not get finished before dark.

She does have a talent and great craftsmanship.

Rock A Billy Texas style…. These guys were pretty darn good. During their first break after 90 mins of non stop playing the band came around and thanked everyone for coming out and were chatting up the audience. I asked the guy on the left if they were going to play “Last Kiss” and he said no that was a little too Doo Op for them, I mentioned that Pear Jam did a great cover of that song, and he said the drummer was a huge Pearl Jam fan. This place, The Custer Beacon has excellent food and a wide variety of micro brews.

Funny, yes she does like making pillows too, It is all good as long as she has a place to cast her UglyStik.

Great video. All common sense but I see very little of it out there anymore.

Getting the boat ready and when I test fired the engines a key switch broke. Not going to stop me though, my motto is “figure it out” and that’s what I did. New switches will be on order later tonight.

 

[buckbuck]

I think @Bruce had some sort of fix for that.

Yamahas all around us!!!

Upgrades, Fox 2.0’s for a much needed shock replacement. 84,000 miles and the oem shocks are pretty tired.

First one I have seen in person here in MN.

Did you try glue? Seems like the threaded insert that I believe to be in the nut could be glued back onto the key.

I didn’t try that due to the tumblers and springs all falling out of it. My temporary fix worked well yesterday other than the key won’t stay in the ignition. I priced replacements this morning and about spit my coffee out due to the prices. I understand genuine Yamaha is going to cost more but $250 for a pair!!! My plan now is to replace both, use generic Yamaha outboard switches and splice the OE plug to its wires. The dimensions of it are the same as the OE plug and will fit in the block that keeps the switch body from turning.
