Looking really good! Congrats.
 
Looking sharp!!! Very sharp! Enjoy that beauty.
 
Always good to see someone else out there with the storm graphix, I like how subtle it is. That is a real head-turner for sure!

Congrats!
 
Congratulations!! Wow. What’s the frame work? I’ve ordered double Bimini, looks like you got me beat.. Still waiting. My should be he next month.
 
What a great boat! Three hours of freezing my ass off to get through the break in. Runs 50 on the dot. Such a solid feeling boat compared to my Starcraft I got rid of. The Roswell Soundsystem is pretty impressive. I would imagine you might be able to build more for the money but to have a 10 year warranty on the stereo equipment is pretty knock out

For sure! I have had a few toons now and this is what I think I have always wanted. As a others have talk about on this board this is what works for me. I skipped a few options like the infloor storage due to cost and the fact I live on the lake and don’t have to pack the boat full of gear at all times.
I had an Evinrude on my last boat, was a fun boat and ran strong at 45 mph. My only problem was I had a few quirky issues with it in the dealer couldn’t figure it out and was blaming evinrude and then they went bankrupt and I couldn’t get any closure.
So this time I decided to go with the Yamaha SHO mechanical. My problems were mostly with electrical quirkiness. I am hoping the performance will be similar or better.

As for the color I wanted to make sure I don’t have the same boat as everybody else on the lake. I am excited to see the graphics package on the grey. Went for the upgraded interior with blue stitching, a little nervous of how that will look but thought it needed a color. Also, I popped for the Roswell sound package. I hope it’s worth the money as I like a good stereo. There was very limited information on this board and elsewhere. Once I get a chance to listen to that I will give you guys and gals a true opinion.
Congrats on the new boat. I to have the storm graphics and you will love it. Mine have Bennington written all through it and it flip flops and has been a hit, I’m the only one on my lake like this. I too have the Roswell and it sounds great. Wish they would have 8 speakers though.

Wow, beautiful Benny you have there picky!

She's a beauty all right! Congratulations and thanks for sharing the pictures...
 
Well, boat and motor are now well broken in. Have a little over 30 hours on the boat now. At the 23 hour mark I did a lower unit gear oil change and oil change. At that time I switched out the 19 pitch Yamaha reliance prop that came on the boat. For the record that prop touched 49.7 miles an hour on my boat. I switched to the Yamaha saltwater series 2, I am currently top speed of 47.8.. overall the 16 pitch has a lot better hole shot and bite in the corners which means more to me than Straight line speed as I pull a lot of watersports and have multiple guess on the boat.
Lots more fun to come for the summer.
PS the dog is loving the water!

If you ever want to get back to 50mph put an Enertia 17 on. You'll lose a little bite vs. the SWS but also pick up some fuel efficiency.

You've stated that you value turning over speed, so your current prop is the better one to accomplish that. Just providing some info for down the road if your objectives ever change.

And I still don't understand why dealers continue to put Reliance props on these high HP, heavy boat set ups. They don't have enough blade area and are poor for everything except top speed. Wrong tool for the job.
