The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

Which light bar did you use? I did the 2 tail lights but not light bar yet. And yes surprising they don’t use LED. Especially on a trailer which gets submerged in water.

@jEt_jAk It was this one right here. There were 2 wires running to the old one. one is a ground. This one didnt need the ground wire, its grounded when you screw it to the frame. so i black taped the unused side then heatshrinked it after cutting it back a bit.

Toothless got a lift! Ended up going with a used lift with a pretty darn good warranty.

It was too freakin hot last nite to do much so i didn't get the trailer guides installed. But i did do some sanding on the fins to stop the rubbing and put on this new mooring cover!! No more taking the tower down all the time. Yaaaaay!!!

Finally got around to installing my 2018 Father’s Day gift. Raymarine a78. Mounted it yesterday before it rained and wired it tonight.

I added some reflective striping to the trailer - for those after dark towing situations, it always dawns on me when I see 18-wheelers at night - how much those strips help visibility!

That red/white reflective tape is officially called "conspicuity tape." Always get a chuckle out of that name for some reason.

Check the block for learning something new today! I have never heard that before. What a name indeed!
Thanks for sharing!

Looks good, I've been thinking about doing that as we're often coming home in the dark. Not a lot of light on the trailers for drivers not paying attention.

Put her Numbers on. I was able to find a font pretty close to the font used for the AR195 graphic on the back.

 

[S1LV3R4D0]

And now she’s got new shoes!! Rims from amazon and Goodyear endurance’s. Wife says if I don’t stop spending money on the boat, she’s gonna divorce me. I’m gonna miss her LMFAO

Now that you have the super steering on the boat you can let her drive then she won't mind you spending all the money on HER boat and she will even chauffer you around on the water.

You funny guy!! Lol. She said she just wants to be classified as boat furniture as evident by this pic


She does a good job of parking the truck and backing into the ramp. She’s a good co-pilot

My wife is great at that too! She's even been known to back down other guys trailers when they obviously don't know what the hell they're doing and they're in her way. She's also an awesome mom and a great cook!

Put her name on today. All of you metalheads will probably know where that came from.

New radial tires and I have a spare wheel now!

Nothing fancy, went the cost effective route.

That is such a great upgrade though. Since we trailer everywhere it’s the one that’s appreciated always.

Hope so, first road trip with the boat. Going to Austin Monday. Longest trip before this one was the 30 min ride home from the dealer. The rest are 7 mins to the ramp and back.

Finished buffing out some slight dock scratches and polished

Btw the rubber snakes are working to keep the Cardinals from pecking at my hull and crapping all over the trailer

What lake are ya'll headed to! Be careful on 35, especially as you get remotely close to Austin. People are either driving like it's the last lap of the Daytona 500 of your going 3mph with a caution.

Headed to Travis, I drive to Austin every month for work. First time getting on the lake though....I’m usually the Daytona 500 driver.
