My '16 215HO just rolled 100 hours today.
Been pretty happy with it (knock on fibreglass LOL).
Had an initial issue with the windshield alignment but my dealer, Factory Rec in Midland, was awesome.
Tower speakers and stern speakers aren't working right now - gotta get them looked at. Time to upgrade the amps likely...

My '15 215 just turned 118 hrs and the maintenance light came on for the port side motor. Taking it in for what I assume is an oil change and safety inspection ($400+yikes!). I too have speaker and windshield alignment issues. This week the center glass closes so apparently the windshield will continue to shift around...The speaker, well that's just dead.
The boat runs smooth as glass and cruises at 35 effortlessly. Check engine light (starboard motor) was on at 30 hrs . Code said o2 sensor so I replaced myself, light has to be cleared by dealer. I had to adjust the reverse gate because it was not clearing the jet stream causing the throttle lever to vibrate violently.
I'm taking it to @Ron@Scarab from Wavetech Powersports for oil and filter change and safety inspection. Normally I do my own maintenance but this is only my second boat and I have some questions regarding operation. Also I am on the Gulf of Mexico a lot. It can get pretty dicey with weather and boat traffic so it's crucial that my family/passengers are safe. I'm going to rely on the manufacturers rep to make sure it's in good working order.

We boat down the Caloosahatchee river to Sanibel every weekend. We're in Cape. I had Ron work on a couple jetski's a few years ago, he knows his stuff.

Hello neighbor, small world. We are in Naples. We like Keewayden, in and around Marco and Cape Romano. A nice sunset cruise out of Gordon pass. Usually out a couple times a week. Good to hear Ron is capable.
