Nice boat you have there. That was a great trip gonna check the rest of your channel out. I'll love to do that myself. But I only have a 23 foot boat. What do you do for a living? Beautiful boat, beautiful home. Was that a captain You hired of the fifth person on the boat to navigate for you. Just subscribe to your channel.
I am currently looking at a Yamaha jet boat. Have owned 26 Sea ray Sundance, 22 Cobalt, 46 Owens, and a 27 sail boat, but never a jet boat. They look really fun.
On older skiboats, (1980's) the Mastercraft propeller turns one way, and on the Ski Nautique, the propeller turns in the other direction. I wonder if the new boat factories have all standardized turning in the same direction?
Thank you for your instructional video. But my question is I have a windlass on my 22’ Center console, is it better to put the windlass in free fall mode or is holding down the button a better option. What do you recommend or advise? Thank you.
Great question. If it’s easy for you to go in free fall like a “pro fish” windlass I would do free fall. Some are trickier to get loose than others. Either way will get the job done.
I don't usually see people struggle when it's wide open like that. It's when it's busy and you have to anchor very close to other boats. I can't tell you how many times I've almost gotten my anchor lines run over. When they leave and pull their stern anchor is when it tends to get even worse.
ive heard no more than 3-4 days in salt water? im sure captain justin can clarify more. this is whats keeping me from buying one. i really love that rear swim deck.
@@itr0863 Same -- I'm in a mixture of salt and fresh. I leave my current stern drive in the water for 4 months of the year. I'd love a Yamaha for my next boat, but concerned about leaving it in the water that long
I’ve got a 252SD and live in Cape Coral on a canal. I have mine on a loft behind my house. I would not leave it in the water for more than a few days at a time in Salt water. The pumps have zincs but I would not recommend leaving it in Salt water. Obviously if you’re going to use it all week, leave it in but once you’re done using it, give it a really good flush and rinse and get it out of the water. Treat your boat good it will treat you good.
I have an AR250 and had a kid on a jetski not paying attention run right in front of me. I threw it in reverse while traveling around 30mph and the boat came to a stop so fast it almost dipped the whole bow under water. Also, as far as slow speed maneuverability goes, use your engines while steering. I loved my boat when we bought it but hated it at low speeds. I learned how to use the twin engines to maneuver it instead of trying to just steer it like a I/o and now wouldn’t trade it for anything. I can parallel park at the dock and I always back into my slips. The best maneuvering boat I’ve ever owned around the dock now.
Thanks for the info, just got my 2024 252ES and love it, only problem is the grass, we launch out to the Anclote River and the grass is terrible, we try to avoid it as much as possible, any suggestions, tired of pulling the plugs and cleaning out gobs of grass.
Good way of teaching, letting the “student” think and explain what to do and why. There are other channels on youtube where the coach just gives commands all the time, without interaction with the student, not sure how much you learn from that.
Great video! We’re new to boating…have a 252SD sailing out of Little Harbor this year. Do you have recommendations of best places to visit in terms of sandbars etc?
