    The 2015 24x issues thread...

    Simple solution (then why did it take me so long) for the SX Bimini top front poles that don't fit well into the front windshield brackets because of the angle necessary to screw them in. Detach the lower pole from the upper pole since they're adjustable, screw in the bottom pole, then insert...

    Boat's new home

    Thanks all for the congrats. Couldn't end the thread w/o one more pic of this awesome boat in my favorite picture taking location.

    Boat's new home

    The lift is 120". That gives me 9 inches on either side. I think I'll go with some type of padding on the back two corners. By the time I get near the front the bunks have grabbed the hull similar to a trailer. I've ordered some 8.5 inch fenders so on windy days I can come into the dock which is...

    Boat's new home

    Palm trees. Hmmm. . The waterfront hadn't been used for many years as it was an elderly lady who lived there. Some nice beach sand is in the works. Working out the kinks of driving on the lift. It looks mighty narrow as the boat approaches.

    Boat's new home

    We recently purchased a house on the lake where I grew up and where we do most of our boating. Going thru the house and renovating for the next few months but that didn't stop me from ordering a dock and lift for my favorite toy :-). Going to be a great summer...

    The 2015 24x issues thread...

    I have the same helm side Bimini bracket issue. I can only get it screwed in a turn or two. Definitely a problem I'll address when I bring it to the dealer. I've only been out three times but don't notice much if any list. I must say the boat gets attention on the lake and is a blast to drive.

    Show us your BOAT!

    Well this is my favorite on the water pic so far since yesterday was the maiden voyage. I'm sure I can do better next time out. Couple impressions of the boat. Compared to my 18' Stingray its enormous. Room for everyone and then some. Everything went great. Noticed I used the no wake + - buttons...

    places to go in the keys

    We stayed in a duplex in key colony in marathon last year.. Very reasonable. Seems everything in key colony is a duplex and right on a canal. Great location. I believe it was thru vrbo.

    Let the good times roll...

    Took delivery this afternoon. Dealer brought boat to my local lake a walked me thru everything during a test ride. No docks in yet so had to pull it out at least for a little while...like maybe this weekend :-)

    What's on your mind? (within reason)

    I just confirmed my boat delivery for April 16 or 17, depending on best weather day so I'm finally thinking about boating

    another New Boat buying/pick up question (Insurance)

    I've always used BoatUS. My boat is still at the dealer. I canceled my previous boat policy and insured the new boat within a couple weeks of the purchase. Boat insurance is pretty cheap.

    New 2015 SX240 or new left over 2014 SX240?

    I started looking at 230's before they stopped making them . Never did pull the trigger. When the 240's came out I always thought it was more boat than I needed until the 2015 model came out. It had everything I was looking for from comfortable seating to quiet cruise to the touchscreen display...

    Saying Hi from MD

    Ordered 2015 242 Limited S

    Well done. Congrats. Wish I was picking up mine Monday. It's sitting at the dealer behind a wall of snow. First I've heard of the Connext upgrade. Great news. Did you get any more details on what the upgrade entails, cost. etc?

    Deal made, boat on order!

    Congrats on the new boat. I had a pretty short reign as the newest 2015 240 owner.

    Subysti, I worked with a few dealers in NewEngland, went with Twin City Marine, who'd you buy from?

    Good catch MickeyL. Irwin Marine, Laconia, NH if its still available. :-)

    We're in Dartmouth. The SX240 will allow us to expand our boating area for sure.

    Let the good times roll...

    Sounds like something I would do :-) but its in the dealers lot with the travel cover on. I think I'll like that cover for winter storage. Since I know how people love pics, especially us in the frozen north, here's the Limited S that we test drove in the fall...we had the sales guy duck down...

    Once the sticker shock wears off the mods may follow. I test drove the 2015 Limited S last fall since the dealer didn't have an SX in stock. Everything about that ride was amazing and really convinced us that Yamaha was the way to go. Fit and finish is outstanding. I've sat in my actual black SX...
