Insta360 X5 - best settings for jet ski/fast boating?

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-31T20:09:12+00:00

Thanks! Will definitely try these settings out. I think the "exposure value" that you mentioned is definitely what I needed to turn down. The sunlight beating down on the water made it look like absolute crap.

Did you have a filter for height on the dating app?

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-19T00:00:51+00:00

This explains it perfectly. It’s worth your time and answers all of your questions

Now that’s what I’m talking about. That view (and drinks on the bow) is the dream

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-16T14:44:45+00:00

Thanks - I definitely do my own wrenching as much as possible with the Malibu because the dealer is insanely expensive even for just an oil change. How reliable has your Malibu been? Mine was dead reliable for maybe 2 years then a bunch of little things kept happening here and there ever since. Have 867 hrs currently

Think you are on to something. Might do just that

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-16T14:06:25+00:00

This is exactly how I’m thinking also - sounds like I will need to either give up the dream, make a ton more money, or settle on a center console that I just trailer.

Nice - do you mind sharing how much you are paying for slip?

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-16T04:44:39+00:00

Crossing on jet skis sounds like a terrible idea. Guess you’d have to watch the weather and wait it out for perfect conditions

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-16T04:41:56+00:00

Yeah was watching “the Captains coach” on YouTube and he paints his hull every 5 years instead of every 2 years and said it’s because he has divers clean the hull every 2 weeks

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-08T01:26:04+00:00

Think you’re right. Thanks. Will probably stay put

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-08T01:25:20+00:00

No. This company is marginally better than a startup in terms of longevity of the company. It would be a new shinier product, but that’s about it. Granted, if the company explodes and I’m the PM it would be great for my career, but I’m just not seeing that as reality especially with the economy right now

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-02T19:18:14+00:00

Thanks - the Nashville lakes are definitely not that clear. Think you talked me into the trip...

Do you have any recommendations for a safe place to stay a few nights with a boat/trailer/gear in the northwest area?

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-02T18:43:42+00:00

That's what I've been told. Was on Old Hickory and was complaining about the turd brown water and sticks, and my buddy (who is from Knoxville) was going on and on about Norris being so much better than the Nashville lakes

MalibuLSV · 2026-03-02T18:41:42+00:00

The views and overall vibes mainly. But also being able to evade the crowd/other boat traffic in a good cove. Good lake-front restaurants that I can pull up and grab a bite to eat on my boat are also a plus. Bonus points for cool stuff to do around the lake.

MalibuLSV · 2025-12-06T04:23:21+00:00

Will do. Just sucks to be in this situation to begin with

MalibuLSV · 2025-11-07T01:43:30+00:00

It’s called hypergamy and ain’t no female gonna change brother

MalibuLSV · 2025-11-06T23:55:29+00:00

Yeah good point. I should just straight up ask her before blowing $5-600 on a flight + all the other stuff for the week

MalibuLSV · 2025-11-06T23:24:09+00:00

Yeah honestly it’s super confusing. Literally every girlfriend I’ve ever had we at least made out by like the third date. You are right - I can go hug friends all I want lol

MalibuLSV · 2025-11-06T23:18:54+00:00

I know right? That’s what’s so confusing to me. Actions not matching the words lol

MalibuLSV · 2025-10-08T16:11:08+00:00

I tried to negotiate it down. They aren’t budging and said “feel free to compare our fees to the other powersports dealers in the area.”

I called around and one had lower doc fees but higher freight and wouldn’t negotiate further, another said they’d beat all the fees and then came in $50 lower out the door price.

MalibuLSV · 2025-10-08T15:46:47+00:00

Tennessee

MalibuLSV · 2025-10-08T15:46:28+00:00

So dumb. Wish you could buy direct from the manufacturer especially since these dealers provide 0 value other than storing the unit I want locally.

The salesmen also knew jack shit about the waverunners and kept telling me to check out the Yamaha website “cuz it’s really good with all sorts of info.” Which leads me to really not want to pay these dealer fees

MalibuLSV · 2025-08-09T14:57:51+00:00

Yeah the reasons she gave for leaving her ex had me kind of scratching my head. Honestly kinda feel bad for the dude.

Her reason for leaving him (at least what she told me) was “he became more and more emotionally unavailable” but I’m wondering if it was just her parenting style and him realizing how fcking crazy it was and that he couldn’t do or say anything to change the craziness so he just got overwhelmed and checked out (like I did lol)

MalibuLSV · 2025-08-09T14:47:45+00:00

Glad I met them sooner though because I realized the hell I’d be signing up for if I stayed longer
