Congratulations you will love it, they are much better-quality boats than given credit for and well powered with the 200. They sure are getting expensive these days

I must have made a mistake only a 150hp. Is that underpowered? Haven't taken delivery yet but I'm thinking underpowered.

Got it at boat show, I am sure the boat at boat show had a 200 on it, my fault I missed it on the paper work. I may back out as that was one of the reasons I pulled the trigger on it.

Paying attention to tide tables is critical. The outgoing tide can be treachery for the novice boater, and there are heaps of them. Newbies put alot of people at risk...you dont play the fool navigating this inlet. Even 2' rip inside the north jetty is not a fools game

How do you get 200 hp out of 150 Yamaha it's probably the same block four-cylinder and cubic inches are the same are there bolt on items like the fuel injection system because I have a 250 six cylinder and the 300 Yamaha is the same displacement I was just wondering what they do to get the horsepower up from 250 to 300 because there's a big price difference on the engine

My wife and I are school teachers in our early/mid 40s with two teenage daughters. We wonder all the time how people afford things these days. Like everyone else I watched the inflation price my family out of a 21-23’ boat. We are having a great time in our NauticStar 191 Hybrid, but I could not justify current prices with our kids needing cars and college money.
@the50somethings
@the50somethings 3 месяца назад
I could not agree more, we talk all the time about how it seems that the current path that the economy is heading that retirement is or may be nothing but a unattainable dream for the middle class. Thanks for watching and love the Nautic Sta line also.

@the50somethings
@the50somethings 4 месяца назад
The Mountain Views are not the best however there is no busy city Traffic either, if you really want to see some beautiful mountain views you have to leave the Springs. I would recommend you take a day trip to Eleven Mile Canyon ( We camped there for a few days and loved it ( see video in channel). MountainDale RV has some OK views we liked it for the quiet country feel. There is not really any place in the Springs to camp without the hustle and bustle, check out Garden of the Gods, and Palmer Park ( did video's on both). We lived there for years and there is plenty to do just have to drive a hour or so. Also the Royal Gorge is a great place to visit really a must see. Hope you have a great stay thanks for watching

The reason there are so many different boats is because there are so many different people. You can't find two cuoplles that like the same model so they have different items to put on a boat. If you don't like this one, don't buy it, find something you like, equip it with the bells and wistles you like and buy iy. These boats are made in the US and you don't have to wait 3 or 4 years to pick one up. They also have excellent customer service. No waiting for parts from across the pond that can take months to arrive. It's all what you are willing to pay for and what suits your needs.

Come to Western Colorado, lots of stuff to see and do here in the Grand Junction and surrounding areas. We have a Escalante canyon that has some interesting things to see but the Colorado Nat'l monument is great and go from there to miracle Rock up in Glade Park and hiking in the Fruita desert area to see the Dinosaur 🦖🦕 extraction area and coming in from Utah at Rabbit Valley stop at the trail through time and literally step on 2 full dinosaur skeletal remains embedded in the pathway and the 3rd one at the top is at a bit higher point (the skull) was removed and is at the Grand junction museum. Fruita also has a dinosaur journey museum.
