they aren't in a bad spot either. right near the 120 bridge. at millers dream marine
we did 3 hours saturday before running low on fuel and calling it a day.
these new skis come with computer controlled break in period of 4 hours, so we are unable to hit its top speed yet. it slowly raises the speed i notice. first rip up the river we both were able to hit 51 and by the end of the day we were up to 54. supposed to have a max top speed of 63-65 mph. they get up there pretty quick.
lots of cool features on these new skis. love the push button for no wake zones, and the 3 modes for power eco/tow/sport. the launch control is a bit of a gimmic, that i doubt id ever use. they even come with 2 keys for learner and experienced.
they would if they could go out on their own. my kid loved it and cant wait to get out again. first sun light he has seen all summer lol
Found the boat launch. Nice wide paved ramp. Has a machine out there that takes payment (like a parking garage). Think I’ll do the yearly access there next year.
Hanging out with cocktails now at the snuggery
yeah that yearly access deal is alright if you use it
it's a really nice ramp too, and your pwc's are fast enough that coming up the river isn't a bad idea.
I can see how that happens. I've put minimal hours on my 1300r the last 2-3 years as my kids both want to go tubing and my son wants to fish early in the morning. I had a buddy that I used to ride with, but since he's gotten married it's tough to get him out earlier in the morning where the water is decent on LG. It's not much fun otherwise from 10-5pm ish with all the boat chop.
and i mean... these things are sitting on lifts in downtown mchenry... likely have been since new
pretty easy to get out on em- i mean is yours in the water always?

Yep. It's on a lift. I can be on the water riding in less than 5 minutes. I've been on it twice all season, once being when I launched it.
yep, thats the one we used Satruday. decent marina, but the boat ramp isnt the best.
Supposed to be good for 70mph stock on a glass like water. The acceleration reminds me of my sport bikes. Crazy on the water to get moving that fast. Love it
