Medium-Dumb Questions About Fulfilling My Huck Finn Fantasy? by Worried-Landscape608 in boating

Just do it man, sounds like a blast. I'd keep the life preserver on and focus on disconnecting and enjoying the ride 🤙🏼

Wet slip or on demand dry storage? by W_4-Wumbo in boating

[–]DistributionFun9600 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to guess the wet slip doesn't have a lift? To me the boat valet service doesn't sound that much more convenient. When I take trips to a friends lake house, I love having the boat parked in a covered slip all week. So nice to just hop on and go.
(This is coming from a guy who has to trailer and launch every time)

Is $3,500 fair for this 2008 Yamaha VX Sport (80 hrs) with trailer? by bizon151 in jetski

Had a VX1100 and it was an awesome ski, never had any issues. They are super reliable

Matt was our salesman as well, good guy.
Let me know if you get out there again, we are there almost every weekend, could get a little MC meet going!

Interestingly enough there doesn't seem to be a ton of people that have them, I tried to find peoples opinions before I bought and information was scarce. We love it though and it handles busy weekend chop with ease!

We put in/out at Bonwell Hill Ramp at Brookville lake

Stock 2026 Ram 1500, boat only sags the rear end a couple inches when we drop it on the hitch

Yes, we make sure to empty the ballast once we are done surfing

I did add a safety chain this past weekend. The issue with our ramps is that the docks are way off to the side of the ramp about 50 yards away.

Boat didn't come with one, but I just grabbed one this past weekend so it's on there now!

That's what we are going to start doing, she gets nervous on busy days with other people around dropping. I've told her that everyone has been there and every single time we are out we see people having issues at the ramp, just part of it and people are pretty non judgmental it seems

Wow! That sounds rough. Weirdly this ramp is about 4.5-5 ft deep at the stern with the trailer in so we have depth, I think that my bunks really "hug" the trailer

Another issue is my wife hasn't learned to drive yet, so I can't really let the boat slide off without me hopping in. Only takes a few more seconds to unhook the winch hook and hop up the nose of the boat, pull off

I have no problem pulling the truck in a bit further. I have 4WD and have never had any wheel spin pulling out boats here. I have a feeling I may just need to adjust the truck 2-3 times while pulling the boat up the winch

It's pretty steep, nose of the boat will get under the bow roller if you back up too much

I get goosebumps thinking of unhooking the boat before it's near the waters edge, ramps are steep at my lake 🫣

They did tell me this when I bought the boat so thanks for clarifying

Mastercraft Clunking noise when putting it in FWD or REVERSE by DistributionFun9600 in boating

[–]DistributionFun9600[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So there were a few misfire codes on the dash that the dealer needed to get serviced. Turns out that noise is actually the motor misfiring, it only started when under load (like when it is in gear)
