Had it at Blue Marsh last weekend. It wasnt too bad at all. First time I had ever been there. Since the weather forecast was crappy I figure it drove off alot of people. We were pulling the tube around for a while the kind of just floated down towards the 183 bridge and cruised around. Nice relaxing day.

Sorry...I never said NICE BOAT in the first post.

Sounds like you still have the smile on your face.
Loved ours when we had it. Just make sure when things start breaking on their own, send it down the road before it turns into a yard ornament.

New or almost new are the way to go. I just think people forget what they spent on the stuff and then neglect it and blame the machine. Like anything else, you take care of it and it will take care of you. (Unless you take it to Ranger's GMC dealer for repair!((Just tring to get in a few more shots on GM before its all done with... ))

do you know what BOAT stands for?
Bust Out Another Thousand
That what we were told every time we took it in for repairs.

Rudz I hear ya. The great thing about this boat is thought that I can do all the repairs. Seriously. It literally has 2 snowmobile motors mounted in the engine compartments. Another reason why I leaned towards the jet boat rather than an i/o. Lots of room to work down there as well.

Wildhorse, the way I am with equipment it will stay nice for some while. It garage kept so it wont be getting beat up by mother nature. If it does go south, its getting dumped real quick but I dont see that happening for quite sometime.

O see the jet boats in the Delaware river. They ate sweet. They cam run in the shallow water and up the small falls. Ours was metcruiser onboard outbound and always had problems after we had a prop strike. Good luck with yours. They are a lot of fun.
