New member with a Polaris, Finger Lakes Region, NY

[NewtJ82]

New to the group, I own a 2004 Polaris 21’ Jet Boat. Anyone else?...seems to be fairly rare.

We use our boat primarily in the Finger Lakes region, our favorite lakes are Canandaigua, Seneca, & Skaneatles. We also enjoy the 1000 Islands region.

Looking forward to this group!

Let me be first to say "Welcome Aboard"!

Love the Finger Lakes!

Not many Polaris owners, what engine and pump do you have? Post up some pictures for us.

Welcome to the Forum! Its the most expensive forum I belong to. We boat on Conesus, Keuka, Canandaigua and Lake Ontario...see you out there!

@NewtJ82 Welcome, great place to find for everything jetboat. A rarity indead, looks like someone here needs to add Polaris to the jetboat categories. @Scottintexas might know how to get that done. Would hate to have you relegated to the "other" category in perpetuity.

 

[NewtJ82]

Thanks everyone. We love Keuka Lake too....whenever we have a free weekday available, that’s where we go.

The Polaris has a single Mercury Optimax 250hp (basically an outboard motor), with a jet drive. Bought it 3 years ago, first experience with a jet boat. I don’t have any pics of the motor right now, but if spring arrives at some point, I’ll grab some pics of the motor and drive unit.

I created an album, not sure how to post a link to it, but should be able to access to through my profile.

Welcome! I boat all over the finger lakes. Love Canandaigua, just gets a little busy for me at times

 

[NewtJ82]

I agree! I work a lot of weekends, which lands me weekdays off, which is great for Canandaigua and Keuka Lakes.

No can do Kemosabe, this little Indian can barely hot link URL's let alone be trusted with the keys to the Admin. world. maybe @Julian or @Murf'n'surf can add Polaris to the list of choices.

Again @NewtJ82 we're glad to have you and even though your probably our first Polaris owner several members are using the Mercury engines

Ahhhh Skaneatles! My hometown. Do you know any Redmond’s by chance? We used to live off West Lake Road in Thornton Heights.

@NewtJ82 I have added Polaris to the "Make" field so you can adjust your profile to list your boat! Sorry this took so long, I am travelling internationally right now.

Welcome to the forum!!!

Welcome, we’re out on Canandagiua a few times a year, conesus too. Looking to hit some more of the lakes this summer. With more members in the area we should loosely organize a meetup.

 

[Scott E]

@NewtJ82 was that you coming off Canandaguia lake today around 2 pm? I said hi to someone in a Polaris 2100 right by the ramp.

 

[NewtJ82]

Yup, that was me. Had to come off the water so early to get to work unfortunately. Great day out there!
