Almost that time!!! Boat Prep....What are you doing to prep or upgrade?

[GreenEnergy28]

I took a trip out to Laughlin for a quick decompression weekend with my wife. While there, I ran over to the boat storage and installed the sea pump I ordered months back even though, I'm dropping the boat off for annual service. LOL! Planning to upgrade a few things while it is there. Stage 2 Whipple and a Max Machine cav plate.

What are you prepping/upgrading for this coming season?

 

[ChrisV]

Hopefully install my gauges and steering wheel on the 22.

 

[Socalx09]

Thinking about changing the rub rail. Just not sure if we should stick with black, or change it to white or polished aluminum.

The trailer needs new wiring and lights

 

[Runs2rch]

Trying to buy the right boat still...

 

[JLG614]

Pulled mine out a few weekends ago for a quick start up. Fired up great. Have a small fuel leak i need to fix

So subtle and clean……yet so badass!
Any more pictures you could share?
Was this JK’s boat?

 

[Roosky01]

Ours needs a full exterior cut and polish, need new marine mat for the swim platforms (lasted 6 years), and a couple of very small vinyl seam tears fixed.

Or I just say screw all of that and get a new boat?

 

[oldman]

On the 12th it's headed to the shop for annual service, and a couple new batteries, nothing special. The trailer brakes and lights need attention, but I'll handle that on my own.


Easy Stuff.

 

[beerrun]

Did new tires a wet sand and full detail new batteries its at adrenaline trailers now getting all the bunks done and brakes and bearings then to Matt's on Thursday for a full service

 

[samsah33]

New carpet, my boat is an off-the-shelf model and I found a company that has a pattern and sells them aftermarket... Nuthin fancy, more of a maintenance item (vs. an upgrade...) since my old one is shot.

 

[Javajoe]

Bunks, hubs. Bearings and brakes

 

[hallett21]

Fixing my boat lift. I’ll see myself out


Need to have WOT marine service the boat. I’m really hoping a new 300 is in the cards. Will just have to see how the next few months go

 

[riverroyal]

Wash and wax then sell. That's my prep

 

[DMF]

I did new rims, tires, bunks, straps, bearings, axle service, and brake service on the trailer in November. Had the annual service done on the boat last week.

 

[4Waters]

Impeller this year, not sure if this year is tires or next year, need to check the date on the tires

 

[pkrrvr619]

Bigger oil cooler and a lake test/tune now that we’ve put a smaller pulley on and upped the boost.

 

[Aqualung]

Pulled the steps for stripping, polishing, and re-coat. Service and impeller. Want, but don't need new wheels for the trailer, fix a light issue, and have the bearings serviced. Not sure I'll get to the gel coat issue or not before the season.

 

[Yoshiro]

Pulled engine for inspection, changed all fluids, rebuilt seawater pump, installed inside steering hyd kit to helm, new steering wheel. On trailer I installed new brakes and hubs, wheels and tires.

 

[69hondo]

Possibly build a new engine.
Guess I better get going

 

[havasuhusker]

New batteries (bought, need to install), yearly service, wash/wax and need to get a gel repair done

 

[CommanderLee]

Oil change and rebuild the carb. I really need to do bunks as I think there is more duct tape than wood or carpet now. It 100% needs tires but it only travels maybe 10 miles a year so we will try and run them again. I might actually need to put air in them this year!

 

[Todd Mohr]

Hopefully it's just the engine oil, gear oil, and the impellor on the Eliminator. Finished up last night and did a visual for loose bolts and minor stuff. Might do a test run on Sat at Canyon Lake. I Might have a lower on the Mach 22 that needs resealing, I'll check it next time in Havasu and have Joe repair if there is moisture in there. Had it out on New Year's Day and changed the fluid that morning, looked good so hopefully it's sealed. Hopefully a trouble free boating season.

 

[941Punk]

Bunk carpet, cleats, painting some faded plastic, new seat bottoms this time with pvc board.

 

[Orangegazm]

Complete restoration of my DCB... repaint, rewire, new stereo system, new motor, what a journey it's been. It will be finished in time for Super Cat West....I hope.

 

[Crazyhippy]

The Bernico got a water pump and lower oil change, along with a healthy clean and buff. But that was 20ish hours ago already.

Just glassed the stringer and transom into my daughters 14'. Have a vintage 25hp Merc that is slated for it, but halfhearted looking for a modern 60ish hp motor too.

Pontoon is about due for an oil change, will get lower serviced and a water pump at the same time.

 

[beerrun]

I have to give props to adrenaline trailers they got my trailer in and out in two days bunks brakes new tongue and some metal work on a step

I was just going to say that looks like Johnny's boat.

 

[Motoxxxloak]

Considering handling a few things and then upgrading my boat to a new owner. Wife doesn’t like the idea but we can’t find time to use it.

 

[Rajobigguy]

Well I have pretty much everything that I need for my new engine build so as long as I don’t get sidetracked I may have a fresh and potent motor sometime this summer.

 

[DWC]

Goes in for annual service next month. Should be a clean bill of health with normal pre-season maintenance. Kicking around a new Bimini as well. I’ll wait to see what the tax man damage is..

 

[GreenEnergy28]

Well, I got the boat back from service.... So much for the Whipple upgrade this year. Had to rebuild the lower so that ate up all of my FUN money.

 

[TexasJet]

The Baja, pull the motor and find the small oil leak in the back right corner of the motor. Might be just a oil pan gasket, I hope. The CP (see avatar), set the valve lash and polish the valve covers, that's all. OH, fresh oil and filter in both..

 

[Mini Kat]

Well it's getting closer and closer to that time of the year...LOL

We are serviced and ready to rock. We had the bottom re gel coated this year along with ceramic coating etc.

 

[n2otoofast4u]

This made me really start thinking. Dear lord it’s going to be a spendy few months with what these things need.

Nautique-
Service, impeller, cut/buff exterior, interior detail, plate cover, joystick control replaced…. Dealer will do all of this

Yott- (2 motors)
Service, impellers…… I will service, dealer will handle impellers.

Cruiser Jet-
Service, detail in/out, bunks on trailer…… I will do all.

Game Over-
Nothing. All new motor (another one) just went in. Let’s go make passes!
