Hello everyone, new here from warm and sunny Arizona. Wanted to start a thread to follow the journey and the enjoyment. Family and I picked up an end of year clearance on brand new 2024 Yamaha AR190 earlier this month for a steal!

Like all things I can’t leave anything alone or stock. So first things first was to remove the emblems/badges and stickers as some weren’t fully adhered to begin with. This gave the boat a sleek and clean look.

Next was to have the glass tinted to help combat the Az sun that we face.

After that was the boat name decal! Family and I came up with “Memory Maker” as that’s what we will be doing, making memories.

Added a big air wake tower mirror, wakeboard rack and flag holder to the wake tower. Not a fan of the polish but it’s subtle.

After that was the jet boat pilot steering enhancement kit which was very nice on the water.

Took it out last Saturday for the initial break in per Yamahas manual and then enjoyed the day with family and the dog.

Next major upgrade will be the jet boat pilot traction pads (complete kit with the optional pieces) which should be here this week.

Well that’s it for now. I’ll update this thread with upgrades and outings. 🤙🏻.
 
Congratulations! Looks like you have a beautiful lake to enjoy with the new boat.
Thanks man! There are several within a 1.5 hr drive to me (Saguaro lake, canyon lake, Apache lake, lake pleasant, Roosevelt and Bartlett). Might be Az but lots of water somewhere excited to use it plenty this season.
 
Where did you get the window tinted? I am in Gilbert.
