I am curious where your inverter is installed and how it is mounted. A 2 kw inverter sounds like a lot, but perhaps not (I do not have one installed yet.) Just imagining a blender for some nice, emmm, fruit smoothies :)

For what ever it is worth, discussions with my dealer on resale went like this: The best motor for a 22' is the 150 vs the 115, 175 and even 200 versions. Seems this dealer nicks all but the 150's pretty hard because he has a difficult time moving them on the used market.

Thanks Link and Vikingstaff ... that is information I can use.

To those who posted replies to my Simtex questions, thank you for sharing your experience. I have Simtex on a new boat, and it will be my first experience with this material. Cheers!

This is sounds like a fun rig, and I will enjoy learning more as you experience your new ride. One question regarding your Simrad GO5: Is your motor rigged with Command Link? I am assuming so, but just curious ... Cheers on your purchase!

I bought a 22 SSRXP and am a happy man!

In the spirit of sharing how dealers may be able to share additive savings and discounts, I offer my recent experience. This isn't one-upmanship, but rather to illustrate some dealers are free sharing discounts, some of which we may not even be aware. My dealer knows he earned my future business...

I just noticed your Simtex reference. Are you still satisfied with stain resistance, or would consider the 303? We have a number of grandchildren ... and never know what they might do to the seats :) Thoughts/advice? Thanks in advance!

Hello - Have you tried the 303 Aerospace cleaners and protectant on Simtex coverings? I am looking for a good product for the coming season. Thanks in advance.

Greetings - I learned today some dealers have "earned" $500 Yamaha discount coupons good towards 150 HP motors only. This is on top of the $750 Yamaha promotion. So if an extra $500 savings is important, you might consider discussing the coupons with your dealer. (As I understand it dealers were...

Nice, guys ... lots of good ideas. I decided against the Dinette configuration, and will not add the second table (aft) at this time. Installation of the second table can be done at anytime should I decide to go that route. In the mean time you folks have given me other alternatives.

Thank you for the photo of the mid-ship bar. That looks really nice!

Michigan - I did what you and others suggested. After talking with my dealer the addition of an aft table is easy and cheap. I think that is the way I will go. Thanks for sharing your comment.

MWChain - Something I recently discovered - but not a surprise to the old salts - is the cost differential between my dealers 2018 stock (bought in 2017) and custom factory ordered in 2018 is about 1.5%. In other words, a few minor "must haves" that can not be installed by the dealer triggers a...

Thanks, Mattb. Just curious - is this a fixed table, or a small folding table that you find useful?
