If you haven’t, I would highly suggest. I only run premium clear but even with gas breaks down, junk gets in the tank and overtime they do what they’re supposed to. I’ve owned the boat for a long time but have never changed until this spring. I can tell you it’s an easy job, messy, but easy...

Did the full wet sand, cut/buff/polish last year, this year touching up some dock rubs and then cleaner wax. Gonna try applying a silica treatment from Hula Boat care this year. Getting closer Still a little haze to work out before the silica

Debating if I want to clean and oil or buy new. both have a couple minor pinches. See pictures all for saving some money but willing to shell out if needed.

Instead of going thru pics from years ago how about new thread of current boats. Let’s see em! Here’s my 2007 Challenger 230. I don’t think too bad of shape for 14 year old boat.

Looking to see if someone has a set (and willing to let me use) of 4tec bearing seal pusher and shaft pusher tools in the 509 or 208 area codes. Or if someone may be willing to sell/rent. Would like to avoid dropping another $100 on tools I rarely use.

Hey there, what types of jet pump bearing grease is everyone using? Debating on the Amsoil marine grease or something similar.

I’m at that dreaded time to rebuild superchargers. Debating on if I want to do myself or suck it up and send them in. Wondering if anyone on here has done themselves and what the experience has been. Obviously sending in would be easy but it’s also a lot more $$ which I could direct to other...

Hey everyone, anyone installed a dash cam type system on their boat? With all the lake traffic and inexperienced people on the water I’m looking to add a system this year. Had an issue on the river last season and figured had my GoPro mounted but not on. Want this wired in so comes on when fob...

Sorry for book but explains, figured would share incase someone might get something from this. Right before the 4th, I hit a pretty good wake surf wave. About 30 seconds later oil alarm went off. Shut down immediately and checked fluids which both engines full and clean( oils was only month and...

Hey there. Was cruising river tonight went over a pretty good wave from a wake surfer doing about 25 and accelerating thru like normal, didn’t feel like a hard landing, about 30-60 seconds later my starboard oil light/alarm goes off. I immediately turn it off and move over to side of river...

Anyone have a vhf radio installed in their boat? In a slip this year on a large lake, my handheld doesn’t get reception in areas and I keep forgetting to charge it. Looking installing one. Any pics would be great. Thinking of antenna on tower etc too. Thanks, Rick

I know not boat but it was a seadoo waveruuner. Couldn’t resist, we docked up to grab a bite and look across the river. Jet ski hauling a boat lift against the current. Felt a tiny bit bad, took them almost 20 minutes to go 200-300 yards. We watched them for almost 40 minutes till we left. At...

Hey there, needing some help ideas on the engine hatch. Replaced the struts with heavier duty but the problem is the angle. If you ya e a 230 would you confirm if yours is like the pic or send a pic if different. I’m thinking the mount angle is causing the difficulty opening the first 6-8”, from...

Ok, I did search thru posts but with no luck, I’m doing the oil change this year vs mechanic. What type of oil are you all recommending. I’ve read with the superchargers not to use full synth and to possibly look for mineral type? SeaDoo 230 Challenger SE with twin 215 supercharged engines. Not...

Debating on mooring this season, May thru Sept, just had a couple questions for anyone with a 230 that has. Thanks, Rick

So usually winterize in mid October but thinking I need to do in next day or so. Mother Nature decide to snow this morning. Along with a high of 37, in September! Figured would post for all of you in the south struggling with upper 80’s and 90’s.

Long post coming... Have a 2007 Challenger 230SE. Finished my laundry list of upgrades. Here was my list this year: * Rewired everything with thicker gauge wire. Tower was a royal pain and took forever. Have multiple circuits for lights and speakers. On tower alone have the allaround light, led...

Finally got around to installing the underwater lights on my 07 Challenger 230se. Being that I spent way over my budget on upgrading stuff this year than I should of and want to stay married I took a shot with the some cheap ones off Amazon. Read reviews and added silicone sealant to prevent...

Hey there, Seafoam safe for the supercharged 215's? Have used this snake oil in many truck engines with good success for cleaning injectors and such. Just curious what experiences people have had with in the Rotax. Pros/cons?

Ok guys and gals help me out please. We’re talking about naming the boat. Want something appropriate if we take the church youth or pastors out etc. so nothing profane or innuendo as usually comes with jet boat names . One idea on the table(thanks to PlayStation random name generator for the...
