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

Looks awesome, how long did the entire install take you?

It took me about 2-3 hours to remove the snap-in carpet, fill the snap holes with epoxy, prep the floor (glass cleaner and acetone), and to apply the flooring. Did it all alone, and took my time to get the alignment just right. It's a bit tedious, but not too difficult if you're even marginally handy.

Not bad then, came out nice.

If you have OCD like me, it takes much longer.

I think epoxy is overkill since you are covering them up. I just put a dab of 3m 5200 on all of mine.

Hurricane prep. Not sure if the straps would make a difference but figure it can’t hurt. Would have like another set on the bow but I ran out of anchors.

I had a set of those anchors somewhere and when I moved I think they disappeared. Went to look for them to tie down the boat but couldn't find them. Luckily a lot of it is south of us so hopefully no major winds our way.

When all dies down, I will get a few more. When I originally had bought them (Irma) I only had a 210. Now two boats and a golf cart lol

welp- it’s officially the end of the season for us. Got her parked in her new home for the next 6 months or so. Took us a bit of time as we had to inch it in slow. I measured the opening at 105” and the boat was around 102” so it was tight squeeze but we did it. Saved me from having to take it to the dealer to winterize and wrap it so I’m happy about that. Racked up about 25 hours and got some good wakeboarding in with my son and looking forward to the next season. Hope everyone affected by the hurricane is faring well!

Added an additional Jabsco Ballast Puppy to the port side to supply the transom bag and center locker Fat Sacs with quick connects. I'm able to coil the transom supply out of the way under the transom cushion. I added valves so I can isolate one or the other. Doesn't fill as fast as the Tsunami plug in, but less hassle.

cleaned the bilge and ran it like I stole it !! LOL

Changed the oil today. First time not using a Yamaha oil change kit. Really missed the paper funnel.

 

[84rzv500r]

put a 10" kicker sub in the port side cabin, 100w RMS amp to run it, hooked up all of my cabin and tower speakers... had to do some line level balancing and adjust the crossover but WOW just wow...

one thing i did notice is that the original 4 kickers that were in the boat when I got it going on 6 years ago are rusted, corroded and trashed... new replacements are on the way... cant wait to get them in.. then on to the marine mat install... and an oil change... oh and the weather supposed to be rainy this week so maybe i can get building my new HO jet pumps... now I just need Sotaly Tobers stripper pole and Ill be all set...

Enjoyed a smoky day on the lake, pulled a tube for a while and surfed a bit. Probably the last ~80* weekend of the year, time to pull out the wetsuits

Not sure if I shared this before, but I bought a pair of these and installed them in the battery cavity in my boat. The batteries don't budge, and these definitely protect the battery casings from impact and vibration. A must have IMO.

Will definitely have to pick up 2 of those before next season.

Spent the day winterizing, cleaning and waxing her all so she can go sit in storage for the next 6-7 months.

 

[HangOutdoors]

Winterizing boat and pool, it all sucks

 

[84rzv500r]

cleaned and flushed the engine bay & bilge that has been soaking in simple green for a couple days with the pressure washer and then flushed with 30 gallons of fresh water.... its hard to shake a jet boat around to rinse it out but having davits makes it easier LOL... also sent back the updated gunnel templates for 2003-2005 AR210 (for the wake board tower to Jetboaters.net both the regular and custom ones for my boat... Great People to deal with

Was a nice warm day in my area so took the SL out, top down, piled in the tarps etc into the trunk and headed to my son in law's place and put her to bed for a long sleep. Earlier last week ran 3 gallons of burst protection through each engine and pulled the batteries.
