Wow. Look at all of the awesome critical advice from the experts in these comments. Makes you wonder if they're such experts at loading a 252 FSH why they're wasting 5 minutes watching a video on how to load one instead of making their own content for people to criticize. 🙄 Thanks for the video and the tips.
Thanks a lot! I appreciate the support!! I’m glad you took the video what it was intended for as an alternative solution to avoid scratching the hull with the stock rollers.
I’m impressed with the fact that you’re pulling that boat with a Frontier. I’m about to get the same boat and someone asked me if my Titan could pull it. Had me wondering if I should get a smaller boat. Thank you for the great video.
Thanks for the comment. It all depends on your trucks set up. This little frontier has added leaf springs and airbags so it hauls it with no sagging. The loud noise it made in this video is because it did not have a regulated muffler at the time. A lot of people are ignorant about hauling boats I have so many comments on the little trucks tow load rating from stock and no one realizes it has modifications. I always say we are from Florida I think we know what we are doing no winterizing here if you get my drift… 🤣 we are out on the water at least once a week if not 2 or 3
@@LIV305 This will be my first boat. My Dad always had boats, but the smaller variety. As a kid we had a Datsun B210 with a welded hitch pulling a 15 foot. Got a lot of looks. Lol I’m on the Mississippi Gulf Coast since retiring from the AF in 2016. It’s taken some time to realize the dream and I hope to be on the water year round as well.
@@gabepeterson4420 glad to hear you are taking the plug, just please make sure you have time to use it. Boats deteriórate whether you use them or not. This is why people complain about them at the time. When using in saltwater you also have to be extremely meticulous with the care and maintenance.
@@LIV305 Hauling is seldom the problem with smaller trucks...it's the stopping under certain conditions (high speed). I not only pull my 6K boat/trailer with a Ridgeline (rated at 5500lbs) around the area but where I"m at I need go over 25 mph. I leave the high speed to my Vw Touareg TDI that is good for 8K towing. The Superduty crowd gets their panties in a bunch as they think I'm towing with a Santa Fe or an Explorer.
Hello! I'm interested in a Yamaha C.C. boat for the fishing and surfing. Have you surfed behind your boat? If so how long does it take to fill the ballast bags? Thank you for the video. Common problem every one says about those rollers. Beautiful set up! Good luck .
And then Saltaway and flush it. Engines always running first before you turn on the hose and then reverse by closing the hose then shut the engine off after all water drain out the engines. Nice Video! Can't wait to get a little 19FSH
Thanks for the comment, unfortunately we have to do it like this because we have the stock rollers that scratch the boat. So I wanted to demonstrate how we go around it before we change them.
I don’t quite understand. I’m assuming you’ve tried several ways and came to this way as the answer. However if the bow rollers are scratching the boat. Why not drop the trailer to where the fenders are just barely above water and then pull the boat onto the trailer and which it the rest of the way from that point. No need to move the truck then. Also have you tried different ramps. I just went to a new ramp and had to move the trailer a couple times to get it to the right spot yet I had it right where I normally put it on the other ramps I frequent. Just some ideas for ya.
Thanks I appreciate your input. This is our main marina and definitely best marina in South Florida. I would not go to any others unless friends are staying in the keys or whatnot. This is the max that the truck can back in, in order to avoid dragging the bunkers on the bottom aswell. We are very careful with her she pretty much never touches anything besides water and seaweed.
Love the boat, but an old Frontier’s an odd choice for towpig for that boat and trailer combo which weigh over 7000 lbs according to Yamaha’s website. Certainly over the frontier’s max tow rating. $85k for a boat, and $15k for a little truck? Seems kinda off.
Thanks for the comment, this truck is actually over $30k msrp since it is a nismo edition we also have a larger truck and Jeep. Not sure what’s “off” about any of these vehicles and what price has to do with anything to do with it if you tow with air bags/proper suspension, live 5 miles from the water and keep boat in Marina… I would be more concerned on how many people buy these boats and 1million dollar boats and go to an island or sandbar
The only con of jet drive is you have to be more mindful going over debris/sea grass etc You are going to feel a little bit more pull or resistance on the helm at operating speeds compared to having a low unit underwater. Just a learning curb no big deal. Pros would be, haul shot mid range acceleration is superior than outboard. Boat will plane out quicker. Safety in stern area and access to water. No propeller exposed.
Jet boats skid a lot in the wind as they don’t have the “keel” of the outdrive to help hold the stern. You also need to look at fuel economy, the 255 is going to use more fuel than a Robalo with a 200 hp outboard. The advantage of the 255 is in its cost, bang for the buck you can beat the Yamaha Jet boats, and their performance. The 255 is a sexy beast that accelerates and turns like a sports car on the water.
For the safety of both wife and husband I hope you have upgraded the rollers by now. That’s way too much foot traffic on the trailer/bed of the truck and cranking on the winch. Be safe guys
Hey I am purchasing this same boat and I also want to change the stock rollers. I just sold my AR 210.. also a great boat but the trailer rollers did scratch the gel coat. When you get new rollers let me know what brand. Thanks
Yeah shame $100K boat and Yamaha doesnt fix this roller issue, first think im going to do is replave it at the dealer before taking the boat home. Nice boat and high five for wife helping like that
@@LIV305you know exactly what he’s saying. You should have more truck in front of that beautiful boat. That Nissan sounded very sad getting that boat up the hill
@@philliphols thanks for the input, she only sounds like that in the video because we changed the muffler and she still needed tuning. Anyhow I’m sure that is not what he was implying. Everyone looks at the “little truck” and immediate assume it can’t haul this boat. Not sure why everyone assumes this truck is stock from factory. 🤣
Careful for that handle had it smacked my uncle in the face and broke his jaw and knocked all his teeth out . lucky for us we saw it so he didn’t face plant into the water .
I’m sorry to hear that I have actually heard of several people getting hurt with the winch I try to be careful, worst part is when I need to climb over it and I’m short if you know what I mean…
I don't even know where to start. There is so much wrong with your whole process and the way the boat is positioned on the trailer, it's ridiculous. Keep at it and you'll learn over time.
Way too deep. Literally and metaphorically. Have you ever thought about changing the rollers. Seems like everyone else with a Yamaha boat complains about this. Buy new rollers.

Your Titan if it's a 2016+ should be able to tow about 10k no problem. The 255 FSH with fuel and gear won't come close to that.

@@aaronhammers1052 Hi! Thanks for reaching out. You can definitely surf on the back but haven’t tried it yet…
Wifey gets a 10... Respectfully... So does the frontier!

That is correct, we always clear the water box. 😊
Wow 30 second job turned into 5 minutes. Way to deep on the trailer.

I’ll be pondering the Yamaha FSH 25 vs a more standard Robalo 23 or similar. What are your thoughts on owning a jet drive vs. Thanks. Good info

@@RichardNoggin-iw7sh Thank you!
That thing needs some thrust vectors. Great color by the way.

Thank you, I appreciate you commenting. We did upgrade the rollers and only wanted to demonstrate how we got around without scratching the gel coat.
May I ask how you like the 255 FSH? Selling my Formula and am a bit concerned how well this does on the ocean in 3 foot seas or so. Thanks
Hi Thanks for reaching out, sorry to hear you are selling your Formula. This boat runs decent but she will never run like a Formula.
I figured. The Formula is great but you can’t take many people out on it.
@@mikesumo2150Look into adding the Seakeeper Ride system on the Yamaha boat.
Thanks I looked into it, haven’t found it a necessity for this boat.
Hey I am purchasing this same boat and I also want to change the stock rollers. I just sold my AR 210.. also a great boat but the trailer rollers did scratch the gel coat. When you get new rollers let me know what brand.
Thanks
Hi, I changed them to Stoltz 4” they are bright translucent orange. Got them from West Marine but I have friends that found them on Amazon aswell.
Yeah shame $100K boat and Yamaha doesnt fix this roller issue, first think im going to do is replave it at the dealer before taking the boat home. Nice boat and high five for wife helping like that
Another thing I’m hearing is that the shorelander stock trailer is not made for saltwater 🤯 Yamaha 👎
Thanks for the high five ✋
$100k 4000lb boat, $10k V6 compact truck..... Some peoples kids
Not sure what you are implying but thanks for taking the time to comment

Everyone looks at the “little truck” and immediate assume it can’t haul this boat.
Not sure why everyone assumes this truck is stock from factory. 🤣
You have the life I wanna live.. a hot wife and a beautiful boat I’m looking at buying! 😩❤️🔥🔥🔥
Save yourself all the trouble and get Stoltz rollers
Thanks for commenting! We did change them out. These were the stock ones the trailer came with
How’s that frontier handle pulling?
She is solid, tows the boat perfect because of airbags. Pull boat out with 4x4, so no skidding.
It may do the job, but it sounds and looks like it's struggling.
Time to upgrade the truck
Thanks for your comment ✌🏼
your slow power the boat up on there and crank her down takes 30-45 seconds
This was before changing out the stock rollers in order to avoid them touching the gelcoat
Careful for that handle had it smacked my uncle in the face and broke his jaw and knocked all his teeth out . lucky for us we saw it so he didn’t face plant into the water .
I’m sorry to hear that I have actually heard of several people getting hurt with the winch I try to be careful, worst part is when I need to climb over it and I’m short if you know what I mean…
I kind of think you took too long on the ramp..
Thanks, that seems to be the theme from anyone not from Florida 😂, FYI we are normally the fasts ones…
The ramp was not busy so no big deal. How many ramps does that marina have 8?
@mikesumo2150 Thanks for commenting, I believe this marina has 10.
Nice

Surething, Thanks for commenting
👍
Thank you 💙
Nope, nine, nyet. No need to submerge the trailer like that.
Thanks for your input

Thanks for commenting, we did upgrade the roller. Just made this video as a solution for the stock ones.
