How fast you going to run?

 

My 305 might get me to 55 this year! Its all about the setup...

 

I did 70.3 on GPS last season. I will not be any faster for awhile this year.

Thanks boys, appreciate the tips, and assuming all goes well with the inspection and purchase (still have to drive to TN to make sure it's really new and flawless LOL), I'll definitely see you on the water!

[SRTurbo04]

[Guest Removed]

Well, you do fail... but I can't see the pics either.

Says folks that either

- Never owned a boat

- Owned a POS boat that never ran right

- Owned a boat and are lame and never used it

 

I've owned the same boat for 10 years. Other than blowing the motor (2k to replace it with a brand new crate motor...factory motor had low oil pressure ever since I owned it), I haven't sunk much into mine...probably average a couple hundred bucks a year in maintenance/repairs/upkeep.

^^^+1 on what Joe said. My dad's told me the same thing when I've asked him about his.

 

He's owned his 1997 Malibu Sunsetter since 1996, he said its usually a couple hundred a year in maintenance, (nothing major), and the most money it's cost him in nearly 15 years is a new transmission,which he said was around $1000 installed. I'd say that's extremely low maintenance, try driving a car for 15 years and get away with that.

Other then the purchase of the boat I have not put a dime into mine besides gas and oil changes.

[SRTurbo04]

Hmm, I resaved the post and they're showing up now, not sure if the other site is ruining my links or what. I'll check back in a bit and make sure they're still up.

 

Edit: Oh yeah, dow in less than a minute from the Yamaha Jet Boat forum. Let me upload them to another site and re-link.

 

Edit 2: DucatiSpot.com for the win. I'm pretty sure I've linked to them before and they stay up.

Dam goodlooking boat sir.

 

is that moreno gonna be powerfull enough to tote it around an pull it outta the water ?

[Bahnstoermer1647545488]

LOL. It pulls it out of the water fine, now hills on a highway, that's another (and pitiful) story.

 

The problem is, you add a new truck to a new boat purchase, and you've got an OFFENSIVE amount of cash tied up in depreciating assets LOL. So I'm just going to be careful with the Montero and borrow a full size from my dear Father if I head cross country.

That is really awesome by the way, a testament to jet boats, Sea Doo, both, whatever. I really hope mine is as good!

They are fine now, nice looking boat! This post has me thinking about a small boat, like the one Sam had. I always thought that thing was cool when he was selling it on here.

 

I've always spent my time on the water in salt water, not sure much I'd like the freshwater in Ohio thing.

 

That's some time down the road anyways... need to save up for a house for now!

[FormulaMatt]

Wow - Great looking boat! I can't wait to see it out. Congrats!

They are great boats if taken care of properly but that goes for anything. Actually Linn and I are goin to change the oil in mine this weekend hopefully and I will be ready to roll out.

Just spent my afternoon F'in with three different government offices to get the damn boat and trailer titled for OH, registered, etc. I hate the government with a capital H.
