Picked up my 2016 ar240 today

[JTC1016]

Took her out on the water for a couple hours and I see what all the fuss was about. I've been boating for years but today was my first time at the helm of a jet boat. It's awesome! Got the break in done and practiced maneuvering for a while. Wanted to get comfortable before I take the family out. It handles great. It was a little chilly on the water but I loved every second of it.

Nice. Awesome looking setup.

Good thing there is some white on the boat to go with the tow rig. I HATE when I have to buy a new SUV to get the colors to match!

Thanks guys. Hope to get my family out this weekend no matter how chilly. We can boat with blankets.

Hey JTC1016 , It took me about 2 weeks longer to make the same decision you did. Just got my 16 / AR240 yesterday. I too have never operated a jet boat and very curious about the handling differences from the 2008 Bayliner 185 sterndrive that I traded in. Plan on spending this weekend on Lake Cumberland getting a feel for the Yamaha. I have some apprehension about going into (hopefully in reverse) my 10' x 24' slip. Your comments about the transition would be appreciated. PM me if you so desire ?

You guys that are nervous about the steering etc should look for a veteran nearby using the user map.
