Very good video, extremely helpful.
Thanks Jake! And thanks for watching.
I don't know how you don't have 100,000 followers. your vids are awesome
I could read comments like this all night long, thanks John. Producing those videos take a huge amount of time and work. CZcams does pay creators ad revenue, I receive just enough to put gas in my boat, the real reward is helping and entertaining others, comments like yours keep me going, thanks!
Super video! A #qualifiedAF #qualifiedcaptain sighting at the end, awesome!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing Captain! 👍🏾
Thank you sir, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the on going tip videos. I just got my new 2023 Yamaha 195s and have not Captained a boat since I sod my 2013. I am using your videos as refresher training for myself. Will help me from making some mistakes,,, but won't prevent all.
Dana, you will be surprised how fast it comes back to you. The jet boat takes a little getting used to, move very slow around docks to avoid damage. Good luck with your beautiful new boat! Thanks for watching too. Cheers!
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore Thank you. I added the Cobra Jet steering to it, so I am anxious to see how that helps. I own a 21 Sea-Doo RXTX 300 so I am a little familiar with the jets, but I know that small inputs is the best for a boat when docking..
Solo masterboating...
Oh the puns 🤣🤣🤣
great tip about leaving the boat in reverse while at the dock
Thanks Stuart, and thanks for watching!
Love your content being a New Yorker myself! Living in FL now but love the videos
So where should I move for the best of Florida boating? Thanks for watching!
When you moving to FL? Love your videos from one New Yorker to the Next!
Ha, thanks. I already own a condo in Delray Beach and after retiring next year will likely snow bird for a while. Not sure if boating will be limited to Long Island, we'll see.
that bait setup was brutal, haha, but thanks for the launch and retrieval tips
I know, but that’s life. Thanks for watching!
that was so funny for me but I feel bad for them guys
I decided to try this new nano polymer boat cover sealer called canvas shield in spring. We'll see if the boat carpet stays dry in summer downpours. I'll let you know.
Nice handling of that jet boat Captain! I am jealous you still get to run that beautiful boat in November. Here in South Jersey on the Great Egg Harbor River our Yamaha boat is off the dock and wrapped up for winter. Don't wait too long to winterize as we've already had some freeze temps. I'd like to see your after trip flushing technique and what desalting solution you use? Thanks.
Hey Greg, going to winterize this week. I flush for a few minutes with "Saltaway", followed by a good soap wash down of the boat. You just gave me some ideas for another video, but it will have to wait until next season. Thanks for watching!
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore I'll look for it next season. I have to flush in float since I dock the boat in fresh brackish water. I pinch the sea water intake and plug in a small inline hose solution tank to deliver fresh water and salt terminator mix to flush the engine at the end of the weekend. When you winterize here's a tip, try the Camco frost ban 2000 red anti-freeze for marine engines. Offers better corrosion protection. Enjoy..
I wish the boat ramp i use had a dock alongside the ramp like that. Would be much easier to solo load & unload.
Totally agree, I’d be lost without a floating dock alongside. I use several different ramps and they all have one. Thanks for watching!
Too many things that can go wrong especially at a crowded dock for this technique, to work safely and consistently
Understood Ed, every ramp and every boat will require adjusting one's routine as well. Thanks for watching.
Absolutely. We’ve been boating in our local lake for about three years now using federal park boat ramps. They’re in good shape but between the jet ski crowd and beginner boaters I don’t see how this would work. Looking at private marina for this season.
Great video…nice instructions. Thinking about a Yamaha boat. Have you ever had a problem picking up debris, crab pot, trot Line, etc?
I would be boating in the Chesapeake and there are always obstacles like that to maneuver around. Really like your style and a new subscriber.
Hey Bill, thanks for watching! In the 8 seasons I have been Jetboating we once needed to utilize the clean out port to remove seaweed which was blocking the flow of water to the impeller. 30 seconds and we were off again on our way. Yes you should avoid debris in the water and don't let ski ropes go floating under the boat, but this is the case even with propeller driven boats. I love the safety of no propeller and would buy another Yamaha in a heart beat.
Hey....that’s me and my dog at 5:13 at the end of the far dock haha
Yup sure is, was stressing getting content for video and flying drone while backing up trailer at same time. Next time Thor we should save fuel and fish on one boat. Cheers!
Isn't it safer just to push your boat off the trailer with the rope in hand? I can't imagine it's too heavy.
There are various techniques dependent on how wet you want to get. Your suggestion is possible for sure. :)
Captain Leon, Do you buy into waxing the hull of your boat to provide less water friction and a smoother glide to increase speed performance? is there a boat waxing video possible next spring?
Greg, I do periodically wax my hull (skipped it this year). I'm not sure it increases performance, but it certainly can't hurt. Besides looking great it does make removal of sea water grime easier. Could be a Spring video, we will see!
Awesome video. Very funny with great tips and ideas. Definitely subscribing for future videos. Question..I noticed that you use the jet drive to push you all the way up to the bow roller on the trailer. I've seen another video where they do the same thing. Can you also stop just prior, hook up the winch line and then crank it all the way up to the bow roller? That's how I've always done it. I'm sure either way is fine but thought I'd ask.
Also, I sold my 2002 Bayliner Capri 195 last year and I'm looking for a new boat. I've been researching the Yamaha 212XD but I've been a little hesitant as I have never owned a jet boat. I've heard great things about them and I'm actually taking one for a test drive this weekend. We'll see but I'm leaning that way. Thanks again!
Hey Jim, thanks for watching. There are endless ways to launch and recover. Sometimes the angle of the ramp and the level of the tide requires modifying ones standard approach. I love my Jet Boat, it's awesome. Besides the comfort and safety of no propeller, traveling in a foot or two of water without hitting bottom is great. They also require little to no maintenance. Mine has almost 300 hours and all I do is change the oil and plugs once a season, the plugs don't need it, but why not. Good luck!!
@@CaptainLeonsBoatingandMore Awesome! Thanks so much for your reply. I think I'm going to go with a jet boat and I think I'll really enjoy it. Thanks again and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Take care!
@@GONE2VT802 my channel covers a lot of info on these boats from maintenance to modifications. Watch the one with us traveling around NYC and visiting the Statue of Liberty.
Captain Leon, Is your Yamaha boat cover waterproof or just water resistant? Next spring I'm aiming to try Scotchguard spray on to attempt to waterproof my Yamaha factory boat cover. Tired of the wet seep through and also having to plastic wrap it in winter. Possible project video?
The Black Deluxe Yamaha cover is pretty much water resistant. After a few years it does start to leak. I have tried spaying it with Sunbrella 303 fabric guard. It does work as you see the water beading off the cover, but a few weeks later, it starts to fade. In the Winter I use the white shipping cover which is more protective and does fine with rain, ice and snow.
You forgot the most important things make sure you put the plug in and remove the tie down straps
Very true Fred, very True. :).
You’ve obviously never done that on the Columbia River in May....you’d come back and your boat would be half way to Astoria
Now that would make an exciting video, using the drone to go find my boat!
Where is this boat ramp located?
There were two ramps depicted in the video. Forge River, Mastic, NY. and Cedar Beach, Mt. Sinai, NY.
