Man, those Yamaha boats . . . I'd have such high expectations of those. Simply because my experience with their outboards are "just get in and go". I'd expect that boat to hold up, never break, always be ready to go.
That's not how it works. The US Government doesn't "print", in a literal OR figurative sense, more money. Here's how it works, in a very ELI5 manner.
Gov realizes they need more money because they have committed to spending more than they collect ("deficit spending"). Gov has to get more money...
They can track you through Uconnect (especially if it has the navigation built-in). They can track you through a separate unit they might have put in. They can track you through your phone app. There is really only one way to do this.

The problem that you will run into is that you need the other person to admit that they told you to go. You could have a dash cam showing them waving, but even then they could say, "I wasn't waving at him, I was waving at a fly."
Even "reasonable" doesn't give permission to break a law. And...
I understand that eye contact is often used to communicate to other drivers. But, it really shouldn't. It's confusing, and can often lead to accidents.
Scenario - you and another car arrive at a 4-say stop at the same time. He is on the perpendicular street, to your right. He waves you through...
Turns out it was a lot of bent pins. This fixed it - https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/the-cause-of-door-connector-bent-pins-and-how-to-fix-yourself.74954/
So, I'm pretty sure that some of the pins have come loose in both the driver and passenger door plugs (the ones you unplug when removing doors). List of the issues:
- interior lights don't come on when opening doors (front driver, front passenger); lights come on when opening rear door and...
A JLUD is 1000lbs HEAVIER than a base F150, and only 3.5" shorter wheelbase.
Somewhere around here, I posted some weights from a CAT scale with my boat.
That's fine, and exactly what I meant by "subjective". Basically, you are OK with paying extra money for peace of mind.
I also pay for peace of mind. But, I do it by putting that money into gas and bait, then going fishing.
Just a general FYI about insurance - if it's your insurance, then your contract with them takes control. Your contract will decide where you can take it, what kinds of parts can be used, etc.
However, if the other people's insurance is paying, all bets are off. You have no contract with them...
Here is another way to think about this. How many of you have put larger mud tires on your Jeep?
YOU MONSTERS!! Don't you realize that this drastically alters factory-designed steering and suspension geometry, adds dozens of pounds of rotating mass, exceeds the design specifications of the...
I've posted longer posts about this, here - https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/towing-with-3-0-diesel.70886/
That said, I tow a 5000lb boat. I've towed it for 3 years now, at least once per month, and often for 100+ miles at a time. All told, probably 2000-2500 miles. Before all...
So, mine is right at 500lbs. As in, the CAT scale said 500lbs, so it's as close as they can measure.
I got that by weighing with the boat attached, then detaching the boat and reweighing. Now, I didn't weigh the Jeep front vs rear axle. But, with the boat attached, the Jeep was 5500lbs. Then...
That's a damn good looking Jeep!!
If you ever get a larger boat, you might have a problem with rear squat. I'm still on stock springs, but with a 2.5" lift kit, and I get a good 1" lower when the boat is on. Frankly, I think it looks better! But anyway, you might think about putting some spring...
Yamaha makes a center console that actually looks damn nice! Especially for what you get.
They have a 25' CC with many options that I would want (not all, but close). But, here's the kicker. It's only $93,800!! Compare that with a Sea Hunt Ultra 255 (comparable to my 229) that STARTS at...
Do you have a parking spot? If so, when you are parked, put the top on. When you leave, and want it off, leave the top in the spot. Of course, tell the condo place (or whoever) what you are doing so they don't wonder. You also might want to put an orange cone or something visible in front of it...
