Re: What is this thing?

Thanks Grand Lake Bum! Everything works as expected and I didn’t see anything under the dash. But I wouldn’t know what to look for anyway! I appreciate the idea of calling Arrowhead and will report back.

I hope you’re enjoying Grand. It’s been hot lately but the lake is the perfect temp right now ...

What is this thing?

Coming in from a normal boat ride, my son found this on the floor under the helm. I can't see anything under the dash that could conceivably be missing this piece.

The piece is 34" long including the spring, and 5/8" wide. Boat is a 2021 R30.

Of course it's possible it didn't come from the boat ...

Re: Six Months Early

Great to hear. The guys at Arrowhead (Stefan and Brian) really took care of us for those couple months. The boat is finally settled over on C dock at CYC. Finally got the lift and autocover so it’s been super convenient.

I named her Revenge in honor of my dad and his love of Grand and boating. He ...

Re: Six Months Early

Great news! Congratulations now get on it quick!

2022 vs 2023 isn’t a big deal IMO. Enjoy your boat! I hope to see you cruising around this summer.

Re: May 2022 Pics



After almost 2 months after getting the boat from Texas to Oklahoma, I finally have her on a lift. I had to buy a new lift since the market is so tight.


What brand name is the lift?


It’s a HydroHoist, which is what we’ve always had. Good quality. It’s a 16000 lb lift (bigger than I need ...

Re: Expected R30 Speed with 380s




My R30 with twin 380s has hit 62 via GPS wide open in ideal conditions


That’s what I’m hoping! Gonna try to get her out this weekend and play with the trim and tabs a bit. Thanks!!


My boat has auto trim and tabs as well. Tabs should be flat for max speed - Auto trim in the "off" mode ...

Re: Expected R30 Speed with 380s


Beautiful boat! Did you purchase from Arrowhead Boat Sales? I think that I saw your boat at the sales dock last week. Enjoy!


Arrowhead didn’t have much inventory so I found the boat in TX and had it shipped here. We’ll be keeping it at Cherokee since we have a place at The Coves. I had to buy a ...

Expected R30 Speed with 380s

Hi all. I just picked up a 2021 R30 with twin 380s. Very nice boat! I’ve taken it out a couple times and My top end is about 52 mph, which is quite a bit less than I thought. I was expecting closer to 60.

Here are the details from today:

Wind 15k (same speed into and with the wind)
Medium chop ...
