Well said. Much better than @ClemsonTiger ’s lame ass hot dog analogy. I think the only place on Earth ketchup, mustard, and onion cost $20 is maybe.......nevermind, nowhere.

Some take an abstract example and try to apply real life situation....

Quick and easy dodge....

Can't be disappointed by the acute, they are the majority.
 
Steak or hot dog... steak or hot dog....
Hmmmm...
 
Did i replace the electronics? YEP! Did I need to modify or adjust the ride capability (trim tabs) or modify or adjust the handling/steering (fins etc) or modify or adjust the t-top (convert to a hard top) or have to modify or adjust for outriggers (hard top or gunnels)?

No, No, No and No!

Was ready to go from the get go.


Hmm so you are saying your boat doesn't have trim tabs or power assist steering or that those came stock because the manufacture noted the your boat was deficient with out these items and couldn't function properly with out them?
 
@JetBoatPilot

Your comparison falls flat....PLEASE name any NEW boat in the 30-70K range that requires bow thrusters to steer or dock properly.

Your comparing 200K + boats that are 35ft + with jet boats that range from 19ft to 24.5ft...really? Many may buy the words at face value but some know better!

Joystick piloting options with bow and stern thrust are coming on a number of new boats, only slightly exceeding that $70K cap (which Yamaha now exceeds). Do those boats REQUIRE them to steer and dock properly? No, but it makes it easier. Do Yamahas REQUIRE additions to steer and dock properly? No, but the various accessories make it easier (at a fraction of the price, to boot).
 
@robert843 Really dude? Come on...I expected more from you. I'll let you go down the rabbit hole of grasping at straws. Just sad.

You know better and I'm sure after re-reading your last "counter post" your disappointed. LMFAO

Your wrong and if you knew the slightest you would have known better..."joystick piloting" requires 2 fundamental items.

#1 more than 1 outboard.

#2 digital controls.


#1 put the boat price north of 100K (Not gonna explain it cause it would fall on deaf ears)
#2 in addition to #1 put the boat price north of 120K (not gonna explain it, see reason #1).

I really really am expecting too much here clearly....I figured if someone wanted to try and counterpoint they would at least know what they are talking about or have facts...
 
Holy Shyt dude! Really...can you read?

"#1 more than 1 outboard."

Did you just show a video of a bow rider inboard???

Nope read it again I'm good. I do typically agree with some your Yamaha bashing in the correct context as I'm sure you have seen me follow up with some of your comments in the past agreeing. I agree with you that the FSH either the 19 or the 21 is not an offshore fishing machine nor a pure fishing boat that's why its call a Family Sports Hybrid and not a Fish. Surely no one is buying them thinking they are but to say the Yamaha's can't steer properly with out fins well that is just an inaccurate statement.

"Joystick piloting requires two fundamental things, #1 more than 1 outboard"

*video of I/O boat (note the difference)*

"YOU'RE AN IDIOT!"


Okay pal.
 
Anyway, how bout dem coolers?
 
@seanmclean your right buddy...man, I'm sorry.

Are you in the market to sell cause I'm in the market to buy. I'd like a Yam boat with a inboard Merc and joystick function.
 
@Rob9550 why do you care so much? I thought I was clear bro...but I’m not interested.

Just not meant to be.
 
@ClemsonTiger WTF are you talking about? I only asked why you still use a Jetboaters forum since you have moved on to a different boat?
 
Is this a jet boat forum?

Wow, man did I take a wrong turn!

So your saying this isn’t the monthly crotchet chat group? I have this amazing cotton thread that matches perfectly with the nylon weave we were discussing last month. Whoa, that was a hot debate between cotton vs. polyester vs. nylon!
 
Dont need a jetboat to enjoy sparkling conversation!
 
@ClemsonTiger , you must be drunk. Its the only explanation I can think of that would make you act like such a f****** a**h***. I need to figure out how to block members.
