No, but 1st owned jet boat. Have had others through the years. I grew up on Lake Erie and the Sandusky Bay.

Nice looking boat. Love the red!

Welcome aboard. I really like the minimal use of graphics. Not trying to spend your money , but you will find adding trim tabs benificial on Lake Erie. Congratulations.

Congratulations on the new boat! I agree with @EricE -really live that red hull!
Great way to keep those kids spending time with you - ours are grown and out of the house but we still see them on our boat most summer weekends! Of course now we’ve added son in laws and grand puppies so needed to upgrade! Have fun!

Not trying to spend your money

@LakeErieMonster Get rid of that bow roller quick before you mark up your brand new hull. Once it happens you will be annoyed for quite some time as we all are. Search Stoltz bow roller here on the forums and you will find a lot of discussions on it. You want the 4". And the Jack is a bit flimsy as well. Keep an eye on it.

Thanks man. Awesome advise. Grew up on Eire and know the benefits of tabs. By brother has s the boat that we will be doing our Erie adventures and fishing on.. We got this boat mainly for the Sandusky bay and the back bay to do the tubing and stuff. We also plan to trailer it around to other inland lakes.

Have had the stoltz in hand months before we picked up the boat. Just need to install now. Got the same as you. Bought it from your comments. I have been stalking this site for some time. This site has been so beneficial.

Too funny but true. Why is that? Answer: A happy wife is a happy life!

@LakeErieMonster congrats and welcome to the family. There are a good number of us Ohio folks on this forum now, several in sandusky, so I’m sure you’ll see several of us out at the sandbar this summer.

We have a suede gray 242, and usually fly our jetboaters.net flag, usually out there with a few other Yamahas. I’ll have a cold one for you if you stop by!

I can also attest to the advantages of tabs and cobra fins, we run out to Kelley’s a lot and added them last year, helps a lot with the chop. Great anchoring on the north side, but you probably know that!

North side of Kelly's is has always been one of my favorite spots. I am sure we will run into each other on the water...figuratively not literally of course. I will have one or two waiting for you as well!
