Image
You've done your research and paid your money, now comes the FUN part! You get to hit the open water and play on your new WaveRunner! Don't get out there just yet though, you still need a few more things in order to have a fun and safe time out on the water. We have the best WaveRunners at the Lake of the Ozarks to pick from, and we want to make sure you are properly prepared before heading out. That's why we're including these six must-haves in the sale of our new 2014 WaveRunner models! Trailer If you have the option to get a trailer, always take it. A trailer may seem optional to some, but it really is necessary. Even if you are docking your WaveRunner, you will most likely need to move it at some point.

It is against the law to not wear your life jacket when out on your WaveRunner. Not only...

With all of the rain we've received, it's important to be careful while partaking in all of your holiday activities this weekend.

Watch For Debris High water means there will be much more debris in the Lake, as the rain rushes branches, leaves and trash down into the water. The debris isn't limited to just small items either! The murky brown water can also be hiding logs, downed trees, and hay bales. These can cause serious damage to boats and PWCs, along with causing injuries to people as they're playing in the water. Watch Your Wake Big wakes can caus...
