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.
A few of us Jetboaters.net people will be walking around the boat show this Saturday. If you see me in a Wake Wedge shirt stop and say hello! There should be a Wake Wedge installed on a Surdyke boat up there also.
So proud the Wake Wedge is on display at the Surdyke booth ! Oh and we got to finally meet @swatski he is a riot so glad to have met you and your family ! Great day with great friends ! @jaybro72@sstegh@007 @mattschepker@mariahz302
@jcyamaharider and @jcyamahariders wife I was going to post the picture of your Wake Wedge - you beat me to it!
It was great meeting you guys, along with @007 !
Here is my crew, next to a SX190 with cool lighting. Nice, but I think we are "gonna need a bigger boat"...
How do you make the boss want the 212X ?

Great pic! You find the way to make her think it's her idea. The way I usually handle these things is ask for way more then she will let me have lol!!! So do not ask for a 212 but ask for 242e series. Say hey hunny since we are going to Bimini don't you think we should upgrade to a 242E to be safer for the kids its a steal at 72k she will then proceed to throw up all over you then you say you know what dear you are correct that's to much we should just get a 212x at 45k it never sounds as bad when you ask for 70+k first and you make her think it was her idea to meet in the middle by saying you are correct we should just meet here at ? What ever price point in the middle.
Boat show was great, best thing about it was I fell in love with my boat all over again. It has everything these newer boats have and then some. Love these Yamaha boats. I will say the new cobalt surf boat was cool. Luxury meets towing sports in a 25' 8" package with a built in head compartment.
I would also like to say it was a pleasure to meet @swatski . I wish we could have just sat down and talked, I could have probably talked for hours. Truly a great guy and family! We will have to get you out there with our group on some of our crusies.
So that's what you guys look like without sunglasses and bathing suits.
Nothing like the internet to bring a variety of personalities together.
Too bad Mark didn't make your picture. I guess he was busy.
