Wet slide question.

We are buying a 2006 sun tracker party cruiser. We will be wanting to get a slide for it. They have stopped making the party cruiser, back in 2011. I've searched some and can't really find a site to order one from. Can anyone help?

Welcome ! I also had an '06 Party Cruiser, didn't have the slide though. Best bet is to call a local Tracker dealer or bass Pro Shops. They are the only authorized parts dealers for Tracker boats. After Tracker stopped making the larger boats, parts are getting hard to come by though. If they are no longer available, best bet is to fabricate the brackets and use an aftermarket slide with an on demand pump.

You may want to consider a blow up slide. More flexible (from a mounting and storage and cost standpoint). Here is one from Overtons:

Thanks so much for the info! Also can you tell me anything about a satellite "dish" that would sit on the top? I guess would it be the same as one for an RV?

Yes look at an RV for Sat Dish... Now keep in mind that your NOT going to be watching TV while your boat is underway perhaps not even if it is rocking around unless your prepared to spend big $$$ as you would need a gyro stabilized self tracking dish units and those are quite costly; likely several grand....

Thank you so much for your info! So maybe the best option for tv would be Netflix or something via cell phone or iPad?

Sure as long as you have an acquit signal and your package size is big enough....
Are you looking to entertain adults for game day or children overnight?

An in motion unit is going to cost around 1000 and sometimes you have to have a special receiver too. If you are near a city an omni directional digital HDTV antennae does a good job. Friend has one on his houseboat and can use it riding down the lake. If we turn you have to adjust it sometimes but it's as easy as hitting a button. As a bonus most local channels actually broadcast on two or three different digital channels (ie 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3) and they call carry different programming. A couple of ours have dedicated real time weather radar which is nice to have. All told I think he gets 16 or so channels.
