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

Yep, she’ll notice! I apparently made the kids “wake up and fall out of their beds” when I finished the install and fired mine up. Ooooops. “I said I was sorry honey.” I was in the dog house for a night; but there was no doubt it worked well.

I decided to take the advice of @jcyamaharider and others to add a second sub in parallel to get to 2ohms instead of replacing the one I have with a 4ohm dvc wired parallel. Fingers crossed, it will be very noticeable!

2.5 hours to get the decal off one side. Still need to buff it out, but I'll do that after I do the other side. I need another eraser wheel first. What a difference in how the boat looks. Kept the upper rear decal for now.

Today was a fun day. After months of waiting for the city to finally approve my permit it was approved and today the boatlift was finally installed. So glad all of this is over as it wasnt a fun ordeal for the permit. Now the electrician just has to come run a 220 circuit down to dock and install the remote control the beginning of next week. Will be so nice always having the boat in the backyard and being able to go out any time the weather is nice on a weekday or weekend. We used to just take it out for the weekend at the boatel but now we will be able to enjoy the boat much more whenever the weather is good. Hope everyone has a great weekend and summer on the water!

I learned about the soft bristled “DrillBrush” in another thread (sorry, I can’t find). I bought one a while back and finally tried it out on my vinyl seats tonight This was just with 409. The seats are cleaned and treated regularly with 303 and didn’t really look bad; but look at the difference with the small area I used the DrillBrush.

Very nice, where did you get the brackets for the boat hook?

Moved the Ski Locker strut so that the door opens more than 45 degrees. Added a couple clips to store the boat hook and VHF Antenna. Excuse the filthy boat, cannot wait for this pollen and non-stop effing rain to stop - she needs a bath.

Installed cushions and boat name

Needed the 1.5" ones for that particular boat hook.

TACO Fender Hangers and @Mainah's Fender Sleeves. The hangers are pricey, but really high quality. Excuse the dirty boat, tomorrow's wash/wax day.

Got my helm speakers, fixed VHF and antenna installed. Probably going to go ahead and buy a 8' antenna for Bimini.

Tinted !!!

Dirty boat got on my mind, so got a wash and wax in before the weather arrived. Of course it'll be dirty again in fifteen minutes... but right now it looks good!

This was from last Saturday. Napatree Point in Rhode Island. We love this place.

Moved into her new summer home. First time wet slipping, I've checked the GPS tracker about a dozen times since I left a couple hours ago.

Looks great! How long will it be in water between flushings?

Will probably flush every week, and haul every 3 for a good cleaning. It’s pretty clean freshwater, despite being brown.

Added Amarine-Made rod holders to both sides of the boat. The quality seems excellent and price was very good. Now for a cat fishing trip.

Little TLC on the Sea Dek and seats. Brush worked wonders. Clean until next weekend.

I saw 2 other 19 footers at the lake yesterday. This is a SMALL lake so it's extra rare. 1 of the guys had an issue with his cleanout plug. I told him about the site hopefully he joins up!
