It was a long day. 2 1/2 hours each way to the dealer and it rained the whole time. But we made it.

Let the mods begin._20150327_191924.JPG
Seadek, interior Slampak, two additional helm speakers, tower Slampak, wakeboard/kneeboard racks, throttle sync, stoltz ult-4 roller and EZ locks are the initial plans.

Dealer is shipping the premium deluxe cover when it comes in. He really should have had it today, but no big deal there.

I will do my best to document with photos.
 
Looks great! Congratulations.
 
Congratulatons on the new toy. It will be a fun summer for you and the family.
 
Congrats! Cya on the lake next weekend?
 
Congrats! We'll have to get an NC gathering planned!
 
Congrats on the new boat and a safe trip home!!!
 
Congrats!! Let the spending begin!
 
Nice boat, Ken ......... Glad it all went well ! :winkingthumbsup"
Enjoy .......... and more photos ! So Kewl ! Happy for you & the Family !
Best Wishes, Mikey :thumbsup:
 
Congrats. Very nice boat. Still waiting on my same boat, seems to be a popular color choice because it's taking longer than he told me!!!!
 
@subysti ........... The 24' 2015 Yamahas have become quickly big sellers. Yous will show up eventually ........... and what you'll discover your new boat is FAR BETTER than you even imagined and it'll be ALL GOOD good (then). Good Luck - Mikey
 
Not enough completed today for my liking, but many of the neighbors stopped by to view and chat.

EZ locks done
2x wakeboard / kneeboard racks mounted (took a lot longer than anticipated due to incorrect fit issues)
Amps mounted
4x 4 AWG wire ran from helm to battery

Agenda for tomorrow:
Install fuses and connect power to amps
Complete amp connections
swap speakers 4x
install sub-woofer
start installing additional helm speakers 2x
Stoltz bow roller
Throttle sync


Get ready for Easter weekend trip to Jordan Lake!
 
Wow, I love the color combo!
I noticed that you have the new scarab. Have you heard when the 255 will start showing up at dealers. I saw the platinum version online and now I really wish I would have waited. It might be out of the price range though I haven't seen any prices on them but they look awesome
Wow, I love the color combo!
 
I like the color. Please post more photos when you get a chance. Congrats!
 
@jwells I think you did good on your purchase. The 255 is already out and available for purchase.

The new Yamahas are awesome. I think you'll be very happy with your purchase.

I will I'm sure but I am in the Louisville area and I couldn't find anywhere to look at the 255. We wanted to go to a little bigger boat but after doing a lot of research all I could find of the scarabs were pictures and one video from the Montreal boat show. I got a feeling people will really have to consider the scarabs for the size as long as they can keep the price competitve
 
Pictures as promised. Installed the interior slampak, adding two helm speakers. Amps mounted and wired, just need to add the tower speakers and tidy up the wiring behind the helm. Added Indy wakeboard/kneeboard racks to the tower.

Camping at Jordan Lake for the weekend. Supposed to be 80 degrees Friday. Perfect day for the break in!
