Soooo, will a Tundra handle that boat of yours? Do you have to use a weight distribution hitch setup? Lol

 

[jcyamaharider]

@PEARCE The pulling power of a tundra I am sure it will no problem!!

 

[jawsf16]

Just like the space shuttle. It will pull it… once.

 

[PEARCE]

Yep! My thinking exactly!

One of my favorites. This is on Lake Michigan during the Chicago Loop Cruise many years ago. 007's boat is much further away from me than it looks. It was rough waters that day, but the Yamis did great!

Don't spin much anymore, but someone captured this pic during a spin a few years ago.

So what are the steps involved in performing a "spin move?" Do you just go WOT and pull the wheel hard to one side or the other?

This is how I do it.

Start out slow till you get a feel for it and your passengers are ready for it. Get going at a good speed in a straight line. Don't be doing this in choppy conditions either. Decide which way you want to turn and drop the throttle on the motor that will be on the inside of the turn to neutral. Once you do that crank the wheel hard over and hold on. Once you hit the 180 done hit the throttle on the inside motor to power out of it. You'll come almost to a stop and throw a wall of water in the process. It's a blast! Be sure your passengers are aware of what you're doing and that they are holding on good. It'll throw them out of their seats if they're not.

Sunny, 50 degrees, no wind. Finally hitting water!!

I remember those days, young kids all bundled up, bound and determined to take the new boat for a spin. That was 2 or 3 boats and more than a decade ago for me. Looks like a lot of fun! Good looking boat too!

 

[RiverRat]

Thanks @motorboater It actually ended up being pretty nice out. Most of the hats and mittens got stowed away before the end of the day.

Finally got a pic of my boat today with our new tow vehicle, well new to us anyway.
