Thanks for your service! I figured you had a typo as I know plenty of people who mess up memorial day/labor day.. :lol:

The wait will be worth it, bet you have a blast on the ski's. I had a Kawasaki 1100zxi a couple years back for one summer. Just to much boat traffic/wakes to enjoy it for my taste back then. However if I ever got another I would try a 2/3 seater as they are bigger and probably handle different.

BTW...did some off-roading in the Penrose OHV area in Colorado today. The pic below is one of the trailheads for the Independence Trail in the area...considered by many as the toughest 4wd trail in Colorado.

Since I have the Off-Road Adventure Package II, I thought about taking the JGC on the trail...then I realized my tires probably couldn't hack it! :lol:

I want your boat! I've been looking at the AR210 and AR230 as well as the SR series, they just are so much money, new and used. Trying to find a great deal somewhere. How's it handle? Did you install Cobra Steering fins thats the only thing I don't know if I would like, the inability or lack therefore of steering at slow speeds like a traditional I/O

Finally got the boat out and cleaned up. Weighs in a little over 6000lbs. The 5.7 pulls it just fine.

Installing the hitch on the new ride as we speak. Will post up some photos of the pull toys soon. Lets just pray the 3.6 will pull at least the small stuff. LOL

What a day for a hitch install! Chose to let my dealer install the hitch due it it being part of the purchase deal, plus I was busy at work solving other problems. After several hours, my bud there called and said there was a wee bit of a problem. I figured something would happend since I've waited several weeks for the OEM hitch to arrive. Just my luck...seems somebody robbed the package of all the required bolts for the hitch and plastic rivets for the bumper/fenders. Luckily we were able to find what we needed to get the job completed. Being I have a weekend at the lake planned, I was to the point of swinging a cactus at someone, but on the other hand, we have a great Jeep dealer in town and I'm good friends with pretty much everyone there. No cactus swinging afterall.

Toy #1. 07 Stage 3 RXP. Pulls like it's not even back there. Way better towing experience vs my 04 Overland believe it or not...and didn't use a fraction of the fuel on my daily commute. I'm definately impressed with the Pentastar platform!

Will post up some other photos once I get the chance to pull the other goodies. I'm pretty convinced it'll pull the 17ft Tri Hull with zero issues. Highly doubt I'm gonna try to lug the 27ft SeaCraft with this vehicle though. LOL If/when I do, I'll be sure to post some video of that adventure. Gonna have to come up with a method to capture video via Lockout.

*Disclaimer to boaters/jetskiers: Those guys over at Greenhulk will cause you to spend mass amounts of money to go fast. It sure is fun though. :)
