    Any Oklahoma City Members that could check out a boat?

    I am in Tulsa, but that's a bit long of a drive for me. Hopefully some OKC members will chime in...

    Show me your camper!

    It is still on wheels, has 5 axles due to the weight. It is classed as a Park Model RV (no holding tanks), therefore it fits our campground rules. I spoke with the park owner before and they said they would allow it, been there for just over a year now, no issues! Love the space, actually feels...

    Show me your camper!

    It is made by Platinum Cottages in Texas, they are amazing and comparable in price to an RV. RV Park Homes | Platinum Cottages. We purchased ours from Aaron at Reacreational Resorts and Cottages in Rockwall, TX.

    Show me your camper!

    We stay at a home lake (Tenkiller) and outgrew our 32' camper. After seeing these in Rockwall, TX we purchased one of these and moved it into our RV slot, 50amp plug and all!

    242 limited s E tower folding

    The cable just has a small weight on it, it isn't attached to anything like a spring. The rebound comes from the gas strut...

    Speaker help

    I did the Kicker 8" with the swiveling brackets (KMTC-8's I believe) last year and I am extremely happy with them. Got the Rockville neoprene covers from Amazon and they fit perfect. I would recommend them to anyone. See pictures in this thread: 242SE Audio Upgrade

    Are JL amps worth it? / Options for non-IB subs

    I just installed the MM652s and they sound excellent, much louder than the db651's while maintaining clarity and tone. The MM's are constructed with a fiber composite basket, they won't be able to rust on you like the db651's... You should really take a good look at them, performance to price is...

    Boat Wax?

    So I ended up trying out Rejex due to this thread. Bought two bottles from Amazon for my 242 and I believe I almost used half of one of those bottles for the entire boat. I followed the instructions and allowed it to cure for 48 hours before taking it to the water. The boat looks great, slick as...

    Tower speaker covers

    I bought them for my Kicker KMTC8's and they fit perfect, quality is great, and the price is waaaaay better than other options... they are a bit stretchy too, allowing them to adapt to shapes.

    Stereo Upgrade in my 2017 242 Limited SE - Complete!

    I gave her a nice coating of Rejex last week and took her out on the lake Friday for a quick picnic. Wow, the stereo sounds amazing compared to how it did and even the Polk db651's sound great! I didn't find any need to keep the seat lid open for better bass, it had plenty of volume and depth...

    Stereo Upgrade in my 2017 242 Limited SE - Complete!

    The 420 is fairly shallow and does not weigh much, probably around one pound. The fiberglass where I installed it is very thick, so I have no concerns of structural or support issues.

    Stereo Upgrade in my 2017 242 Limited SE - Complete!

    It sounded really good in the shop, not like there are two 12" subs in a sealed box or anything... but again, it was in a metal shop, out on the water will be the true test. I am able to unplug the Polk free-air sub easily, so I will be testing each individually this spring. I just couldn't help...

    Stereo Upgrade in my 2017 242 Limited SE - Complete!

    I plan to use Connext still to control the volume... But when people want to stay in the boat and eat lunch and the kids want to swim with music I can turn off the "Boat" and "Subwoofer" but leave the "Tower" zone on... That will pump music out of the swim platform and towers. Since it's colder...

    Stereo Upgrade in my 2017 242 Limited SE - Complete!

    I have not posted much on here over the years, but I have owned a couple of Yamaha boats since 2008 including a 2005 SX230HO and a couple years ago I upgraded to a new 2017 Limited 242 S E-Series. To be honest, when I picked up the new 242, I thought stereo sounded like trash at the helm. I...

    Texas Spring Break

    Pearce - Do you have any recommendations on Marina's or restaurants for Texoma? We may even consider heading further south towards Austin. A couple years ago we went down to Destin, FL for spring break and it was a blast with the 242!
