Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
Maybe I am just being a baby but it is just too brutal out there to go boating. Right now it’s 11am and UV index is 10/10, 65% humidity, feels like is 102 degrees. I am sunburnt and drenched in sweat by the time I could even get the boat ready. Water is in the mid-90s….and a gusty 4mph wind. I’d rather just sit in the AC lol. It’s been like this for the past two months, minus a few overcast days.

New to Florida? No such thing as too hot or too sunny here! Wish it was 100 and a UV of a million year yound.....keeps all those pesky Northerners off my beaches, waterways and golf courses.

Actually the out of state tags when traffic is backed up at the traffic light is usually a good indicator as you said ,
I want a horn that screams The light turned green so put down the phone and move already!!!
I moved here in 1972 from Mass when I was 20 years old I have seen it change every year more and more people moving here every year and I live in the densest populated county in the entire state But like they say in Mass it isn't the heat it's the humidity ok so they spelled humanity wrong .
I planned an end of summer boat trip for this Labor Day weekend but just cancelled the same. Actually my guests called me to cancel because it will be too hot this weekend to boat. I agree with them since our only available day is Sunday the hottest of the week, not that Saturday or Monday are much better. Bummer as I don’t mind seeing sweaty women in skimpy bikinis but somewhat of a relief since I’m sure there will be a lot of sweaty guys in shorts and no shirts out there as well.
