This sounds like an obvious question but you all that take dogs with you do you go back to a dock to find a place for your dogs to go to the bathroom. The lakes around us have rocky shores so no...

Thanks for all the responses. Getting our first boat is both exciting and terrifying at the same time.

Y'all that use the ball style fenders. Do you free float the fender on your dock line or secure it to the boat with a bungie or line?

What style fenders do you use and why.

We are getting our first boat and I was leaning towards the Babz. As I believe you deflate them to store so they take up less space and they look like...

Thanks for the info. As this is my first boat. Not sure how to read the prop specks. Is the first number the pitch after teh decimal the number of blades and the last number the diameter?

We are in Missouri. We will mostly be on Table Rock lake and Norfork in Arkansas. We just bought our retirement plot off Norfork but will not build for several years.

Norfork elevation is 552...

The boat we water tested with the dealer had the 400 and general prop. With the three of us and full ballast it seemed to get up on plane with no issues. We plan on mostly surfing so the dealer...

Pulled the trigger and secured a spray date to become a first time boat owner this past weekend. 2023 Makai. We have rented boats 4 to 5 times a year for the past decade. Most of the rental boats...

Good to know that it would more than likely not fit on the heater ledge.

Thanks

Where do you put your cooler on your boat when you have a big crew onboard. Looking at a Makai and was wondering if a cooler would fit behind the captain seat above the heater ledge.

Thanks for the advice. When you engage the tow function on the truck does it lock out the higher gears?
So far the heaviest load I have pulled with this new truck is my 67 mustang. Did pull a 32ft...

I was not going to get the swing away option on the trialer I do not need it to make it fit in my storage building. Was planning on the EoH brake system. I have more experience with electric brakes...

If the only reason not to have a WDH is the surge brakes then the EOH brake system should eliminate that issue. I have pulled several enclosed trailers and flat bed trailers with 10K+ loads with WDH...

Yes with our older expedition had a 2003 model when all the kids were still home and a travel trailer I had a WD setup.

from what I can see reading my owners manual my only issue is the weight carrying setup on the hitch. My GCRW is 15,500 vehicle weight now is 5,800. I was looking at getting the optional electric...

I did see that boat and trailer weight was 6,400. So with fuel and gear I would be over the weight carrying limit on my truck. What have others done to work past this issue.

Looking at a 21 Makai. The dry weight of the boat is 5,200. I have a 2019 Expedition max with the HD tow package. Looking at the sticker on the hitch the max trailer weight is 6,600 and 9,000 with...
