- This video is a quick one I put together (don't mind the vertical video!) about what I look for when looking to buy a used boat. We will go over the trailer, the outside of the boat, the interior, the surf system and all of the features.

Hi Chantel, thank you for the video, they are always so helpful. Keep them coming. Take care.
Hi Chantel, my wife and I have gained a significant amount of confidence as new boat owners from using your tips/tricks. The seller of our boat was trying to walk us through trimming, but his knowledge ended when we started asking questions. If that's a training in the works, we'd love to see it! Sincerely thank you for all the work you've put into these videos. They're having a genuine impact!
Thank you for watching and welcome to the boating lifestyle!
Closing on a pre-owned here in Minnesota next week, Thanks for all of your videos. SO helpful!
That's awesome! Congrats!
Great video Chantel! Well done, good info! especially for being solo.
Thanks good info. You always explain things so good. Hey, idea for next video- how to anchor in shallow water for a beach day
Can you do a video on the best ways to organize your boat?
First thank you . Yet I like sail boats ..I'd ask why is the price so high..
Please create more videos!
Are you still at Active? Which store? I want to chat with you about getting our kids set up as well as helping us maybe retro fit our Mastercraft 2003 X2 so i could feel comfortable slalom skiing behind it! Does active or you offer any lessons for ex slalom skiing moms as well as for kids ages 14 and 9 to learn anything on the water? We bought a boom but unfortunately my husband says it’s too much of a pain to take on and off since you cant leave it on once you put the boat into the trailer (im tempted to just take a reciprocating saw and cut the pole off so it isnt an issue! 😂). We live on the Columbia River right near the Port of Camas Washougal. We don’t have a dock but do have a driveway to the water. So as long as the boat is parked on the trailer on the beach (and anchored down just in case water comes up overnight) we should be able to leave the boom on. I just want to help our kids and any friends be as successful as possible so its as fun as it can possibly be! But i could definitely use good advice so that becomes a reality! Btw maybe its be but i kind of think our boat sucks for water skiing - hoping maybe you and or active might have some suggestions…or maybe im just too our of shape and practice since having the kids!
Great Video.
Do you ever come all the way down to Lake Havasu, Lake Mohave, Arizona or Laughlin, Nevada area?
Casinos on the river in Laughlin for some evening fun.
Not yet! But, maybe one day!
Any advice for buying a boat in the winter? I’m ready to pull the trigger, the boat is in excellent condition, but I can’t take it for a test drive because all the lakes are frozen and it’s winterized.
Ah, that is hard. Is it still under warranty? If so, I would be less worried. Be sure to inspect the underwater gear that it looks good with no stress cracks surrounding the rudder and prop shaft.
i'm, looking at 2020 mojo should the boat come with cover and spare tire ?
A cover would typically come with it, but if it was special ordered, they could have opted not to get one. Same with the spare tire. Just depends on how it was ordered from the factory.
Newbie here. How much does dealer typically charge to take a look and make sure it's ready for the water?
Depends on if you need a full inspection or just a dewinterize. My dealership charges $495 for a full inspection with a water test, but I am sure that varies depending on where you are.
Did you really say 5-10 years for trailer tires? These boats and trailer tires because of the weight are only rated to go 2-3yrs MAX! Never run trailer tires past 36 months and even less if you are towing a lot or your trailer is outside with direct sunlight thru the year.
Chantel where ya been!!?
Had some personal stuff going on, hopefully can get back to it soon!
Are you alive??
