«OFFICIAL» Watercraft / Jet Ski / PWC Thread + Boats

Yeah I’ve been keeping an eye on the water temps and haven’t been impressed. But it’s not that far behind, we were only at 60 by this day last year.

Haven’t had my boat out much yet either. I get bored with fishing pretty quickly and mostly enjoy the boat for wakeboarding, tubing and snorkeling. Not doing any of those until the water gets warmer.

I intend to be at Gallagher beach on Wednesday. At the very least I’m going to roll my ski onto the beach in the shallow area and so some testing.

I’ve been out sailing a few times and it’s been fun. We setup a topping lift swing that was similar to this, water was still chilly though:

This was one of the days I went out:

What kind of testing you talking about?

I need to adjust my idle and low end I think.

Don’t forget your drain plugs boys and girls!

Sheesh…

How do you let your son get away from you…

And so far away that he was picked up by another boat, yet you missed seeing that boat…

Something smells fishy. Sounds like dad was drinking and forgot the drain plugs lol

I’m going to lean more towards poorly written article rather than terrible father… but you never know…

Exactly… This story makes no sense.

Sold it and bought a boat. It ended up being just a little more that the ski I wanted and figured I would get more use out of it… Really happy with the decision

Here’s a picture before I had it in the water yesterday…

Damn that’s nice, where are you keeping it?

Thanks Josh, at home for a few weeks… Plan to hit silver lake, Erie, conesus lake and maybe some others, then keeping it at kinzu for the rest of the summer

Finally getting mine out on Ontario Saturday. Launching from Olcott if anyone wants to meet up.

Beautiful.

What are the specs on the boat? That’s moving pretty good.

Water was Perfect yesterday. Got my ski up to 62 on the GPS.

As far as I know, its an all original 454 Mag Mercruiser. Its the beefy one with forged internals rated @ 365 hp, paired up with a Bravo 1 drive. Right now I run a 23 pitch Mirage Plus prop @ 4800-4900 rpm, but may trade my old 25P Mirage for a 23P Mirage that has been labbed to get some more rpm and maybe 1-2 more mph.

The hull is a 24’ 1989 Python Vector. Its the same molds as Pantera, Excalibur, Super Boat, etc.
