Re: What you adding to your gas
That 226 you used have was one of the fastest hulls Cobalt made. Not sure why Volvo Doesn't make a four blade for the dps drive. Every prop is designed to do something very specific.just because Volvo doesn't recommend something doesn't mean I wouldn't try it. I tried so many props on my old boat an...

Re: What you adding to your gas
I thought these engines were set on running on 87 octane. They say you can use 91 and you may notice a bit of performance increase. I run 89'ethanol free or 91 ethanol free. It's easy to get here. I noticed no performance change between the two.just a cost.lol. In Missouri by table rock everything h...

Re: Airhead Mega Ruckus from Walmart
We all prob started behind the big black tractor tube At one time.lol On the other forum I'm on there is a late fifty year old guy that started Salom skiing last year that had me pushing to slip it on again. It's been about the same as you. Ten or more years since I've done that. I love driving and ...

Re: Vinyl & Gel Coat Maintenance
I trailer it and dunk it every time. The longest it will stay in the water is maybe a few days if I'm on vacation for a week. If I get a scum line and if soap and water doesn't take it off I use hull cleaner. Starbrite hull cleaner worked great. I bought bio kleen hull cleaner for this year I'll see...

Re: Propeller selection info and speeds
I wouldn't run that too much. Throws everything off balance. There's got to be numbers on it somewhere that says what pitch and diameter it is.

Re: FNG
Lots of big boats to chase down. We don't go slow too often. Cruise 35-45 most of the time. Kids are all used to going fast Heck our soon to be 18 year old daughter last time out goes catch them. My wife hates loud music so the stereo isn't on very loud most of the time anyways. We have lots of wate...

Re: Let's see your Tow rigs with your boat!
Thanks. I get those made At the local Fastsign store here. They do all of our graphics at work. I have them on both sides and on top of the rear window. Free advertising for them. Makes it easier to find in the parking lot. My wife keeps walking up to old black suburbans in parking lots yet. Had one...

Rubber back carpet issues
I know some of your boats are New and don't have this issue but some older ones do. My black rubber on the back of my carpet is coming off and leaves a black powdery mess on the floor of the boat. So I heard of this tip from another guy that I'm still working on getting him on this site. He used thi...

Re: FNG
Well I had 1/3 tank of gas 3 adults one kid and to my surprise and this is the first boat I've owned up to 50 the Speedo is dead on. At 55 I was running 57 gps. It was reading lower nut higher, kind of odd. Kind of disappointed. 4400 rpms so 200 more to go. I'll play with it when I'm by myself. I'm ...

Re: Airhead Mega Ruckus from Walmart
Picked up an Airhead Mega Ruckus from Walmart last summer for kids to tube behind the boat, and am generally pretty happy with the purchase. Paid $99, and like the 70" size for two riders or an adult relative to some of the smaller tubes offered. Seemed very durable, and had no trouble inflati...

Let's see your Tow rigs with your boat!
I tow mine with a 2008 Escalade.6.2l. I didn't care if it was a Escalade or a Denali I just wanted the engine. This engine pulls so much better than the 5.3 I had in the suburban. But it likes gas. In the second picture was when I brought her home from KC Missouri on Good Friday this year. Snow when...
