A friend stopped by for a hot dog and a boat ride! Thought up I should gas up the boat.

Additional info on the Lake Champlain poker run 2021.

Lake Champlain Poker Run Flirts With Greatness

Based in Burlington, Vt., the Lake Champlain Poker Run never will be one of those sparkly, wild and rowdy 150-boat events. Organizers Nicole Carlson, Brian Hoar, Chris Fisher and David Wulfson don’t want that, and the good people of Burlington definitely don’t want that. In […]

Some pretty cool video of them rolling out of the harbor and the race/run.

And of course a Yamaha would be in the middle of it. Alright...who is holding out on us. lol

The dog days of Summer have ended...tell him that, he does not pay any attention to the calender.

I bought a pool like that for the wife and dog a few years ago. Neither one uses it. I guess I shouldn’t have said it was for both of them.

Irony: the impeller was $250ish off the shelf, closer to $400 after custom pitching, shipping and handling, but the wrench (actually a socket) is free.

Well, that's actually a bargain compared to prop prices! lol. Crazy, just got this new wheel after months of waiting, and for about double the price.

It doesn't fit my jet boat pump, but I couldn't be happier.
This should help my F300 on some rougher offshore days.


I must say though, as much as I love the new Parker, and it's ocean going capabilities, riding the AR240 is just pure pleasure by comparison. Everytime we go to the lake, I just smile, love riding the YJB, I can do it all day long and not get enough. It's like riding a go-kart vs a U-haul truck, lol.

Nice S.S. impeller and very nice S.S. 4 blade prop. I know it is not a competition on spending $$$, but we would have gladly paid both of those "bargain prices" together as compared to a PYI Max Prop bronze feathering prop with adjustable pitch and rotation.







What some people will do to sail faster by just 1kt. is not cheap. That's Crazy, lol.

@zipper , holy S! $3k +, did you at least get a free wrench with the prop or was it a no lube deal?

i remember seeing a story on the Gieco hydroplane boat, when the tech came out to install the props and he stated that each were $15k.

If this was a spending competition I would proudly say I’m in last place.

Yes, the prop. came with it's own tool kit for changing the pitch and rotation as well as a grease gun. We ordered a LH rotation prop. and was sent a RH rotation prop. I had to dig into the prop and change it on day two after the install. The boat went aft when I throttled forward, had to do another short haul to fix it. It was easy, but still a PITA. I was not happy that day.

Well for only three grand what did you expect!

My stepdad does this for a pretty big company. If you ever want to move for FL, hit me up I can connect you to the company.

I will keep in mind. Thanks!

It's a massacre! No idea what these guys were, but this happened over about a 15 minute timeframe
