New to me 2009 212x in Holly Springs NC

[suke]

Brought this home today. Super excited for summer to come around. Got new gears installed in my Jeep today to handle the larger tires and towing, so had to borrow my FIL truck to get her home. Was interesting with half the lights not working and/or them turning on/off. HAH!

Ain't no way this could even fit through my garage door, yet alone fit IN there.

Congrats and welcome!

I've noticed !! You've likely already seen me running around either on Harris, Falls, Jordan, or possibly Gaston if you ride there much. I have a seadoo xp 800 I restored I run around on.

That is a fantastic boat. Looks like with the tower down you should be able to fit an aftermarket/generic cover over it, just buy a bigger one than you think you need.
May want to prop up the jack to lift the bow, helps draining any water that may get in.

Congrats, nice one. If you don't already know, the light issue is a bad ground between truck and trailer. I have a similar m/y Chevy 2500 and had the same issue with all my trailers. I traced it back to a bad ground connection in the 7-pin trailer light socket on the back of the truck. Without that ground the only way to complete the circuit is thru the ball/hitch, which is not a good consistant electrical connection. Especially if the chrome is new. Again, nice boat and post some pics. with the Jeep.

The wiring on this thing was just in poor shape. The truck portion the holder was broken and rusted. I zip tied it in place to keep the lights on most of the time. HAH!

Here's the Jeep, but it'll be a little bit until the gears break in before you see them connected.

Yeah I may just do that. Got word that a couple members near here store their boats in a lady's barn. Got word there's space for me over there so once this rain/snow/sleet goes away I'll head over there and put her up there. For now she's wrapped like a burrito.

Got a ginormous tarp, backed her on, then wrapped up the trailer and the boat. Worked great for this mess we have going on right now.

Congratulations on the new boat. I too have a 2009 212X. Run mostly on Jordan.

Barns are awesome! I would want her covered even indoor though.

My little one approves. He had to hop in it while we winterized it the other day.

Absolutely. I ordered a "cheap" cover from Amazon last night. Going to check out the storage situation today with one of the forum folks. It'll likely be after the holidays before I can take it over there with all we've got going on.
