    Stereo volume using bluetooth

    Good question...I am using an iPhone 6 and do have volume maxed out on the phone. Do you find the stereo on the boat suitably loud when underway? I had a passenger yesterday tell me the rear cabin speakers were off...when actually they were not! It seems the bow speakers are working better...

    Floor covering in day head compartment for 2015 242 LS

    Hi everyone...do these boats come with any type of floor covering in day head or do they come bare? Mine is bare but I don't know if that is stock or I am missing some? Thanks.

    On board cooler fit for 2015 242 limited s

    And the cooler that came with boat will stay on board..."drink cooler" is a bit smaller so can go in/out much easier

    Hey guys - got the grey boat and pickup next week. Question re fenders....I have three now that are black cylinders...any chance the black could streak or otherwise mark the grey/white of the new boat? Don't think so but need to ask folks who might know better than me. Thanks!

    Maiden Voyage

    Okay guys - need your help. Am buying a 2015 Yamaha 242 limited s today and need to decide between black and grey. I like black a bit better I think but also think grey might be easier to maintain and show less scratches etc....anyone with any thoughts to help me confirm either direction? Thanks!

    Maiden Voyage

    Thanks guys for the input. @txav8r (great trick) - do you use a keel guard? Affect perf at all? Notice it much on a black boat you think? Also - what type of fenders are best to prevent rubbing the hull and making scratches as it is tied to a dock in some waves? I've seen rectangular ones...

    Thanks txav8r - I love the boat otherwise but am not sure if captains seat issue is too much or not. Is there an option to move the seat back another inch or two and eliminate ability to swivel 180? For me I don't care about ability to swivel 180...would much rather eliminate PIC and be more...
