New Owner in eastern Pennsylvania

[gsbrown]

Hi Jet Boaters!
New to jet boats and boat owning. Me and the family have been pontoon renters on the near by lake for the past 10 - 12 years. Finally able to buy and stop paying those insane rental prices. Deposit is down on a 2017 Yamaha AR195. I'm told it could be in any day now! Just hope to get it out on the water before it gets too cold.

Welcome aboard look forward too seeing some pics when it arrives!

Thanks, will add pictures soon...Hopefully! Just in Myrtle Beach this August. We rented a Pontoon on the waterway for a few hours. I think it had a 75hp on the back. My kids were a little disappointed becuase it was so slow. Don't think there gonna have that problem with the new boat! Stay safe...Hope Matthew blows out to sea!

I'll be out there in coat if I have to. I can't go all winter without testing what I bought!

Welcome aboard,
You're off to a great start, you bought a boat that should not give you any problems, and if it does the people here will help you solve them right quick!

Congratulations and welcome to the site.
Please provide your bank statement so we will know our mod budget for your boat!

 

[gsbrown]

First mod already in the works. Seadek flooring for cockpit. Let me break the engine in before we start spending more money!

Welcome to the AR195 family. your gonna love it... remember bow roller replacement ASAP...black or white hull with red ?

We went with the white and red one. I saw everyone was swapping out the bow roller so I ordered it last week. Just need the boat now! And maybe a few more nice weekends would be nice. I'm told this is the week it should be delivered. Feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!

I have a 4 pole setup with my tow package. I read I will need a 5 pole for new trailer. This is what I bought.

I got one of these from the dealer, included with the purchase....it works fine.

Good to know. I'm not sure of the trailer brand. I did get a galvanized trailer.
