For anyone planning to go tubing, please make sure to use the lower tow pylon rather than the one mounted on top. The top pylon isn’t designed to handle the extra tension that tubing creates, and using it can put unnecessary strain on the boat’s structure and components. The lower pylon is reinforced specifically for these types of activities, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for both you and the equipment. Thanks for helping us keep the boats in top shape!

A quick boating tip: Proper weight distribution is key to safe and efficient boating. Be sure to spread out passengers and gear throughout the boat evenly. Too much weight in the bow can cause the boat to plow through the water, making it harder to control and less fuel-efficient. On the other hand, too much weight in the stern can prevent the boat from getting on plane properly, which affects both speed and steering responsiveness. A well-balanced load results in smoother handling, improved performance, and a more comfortable ride for everyone on board!
