Ive been looking to add the head shelf. Is this the part number you used? F4Y-U827C-00-00

Where did you get the hanging rod? Looks like it has a good mount.

Yup that’s the part number for the shelf. The rod is also from Yamaha and I used the Yamaha bracket for the side by the light and and a Bimini bracket for the other side. Had to cut the pole a little as it sits in side the trim panel on a 252s.

I almost pulled the trigger on a 2022 AR250 back in October but lucked into a three month old 2021with 12 hours instead. I ended up saving 8K out the door from the price of new so I took that money and added a few mods. I replaced all six interior speakers with JL M3s and added two JL tower speakers and a JL amp. I added the 4 inch teak SeaDek today. I was unable to find any photos of the SeaDek online so I’m hoping these photos might help someone else out who’s thinking of getting it.

what specific amp did you get ? are you still using the connect screen ? no bass treble adjustments etc? im trying to figure out what to do....I need more power, better sound and a sub

Do you have the part number for the rear deck backseat cushions? Thanks in advance.

Before winter I wanted to try to do an electric tower as the speakers on the tower are a bit heavy to lower the tower with 1 person and holding it without hitting them on the windshield. We used 2 500lb heavy duty slow moving actuators hooked up to a 2 channel remote control system. The actuators are thru and side mounted for shear force protection. We made sure that the retracted position of the actuators still requires a manual push to the flush position so pull force isn’t present when screwed down and tight. . Overall i think it’s going to work great for going under lower bridges

Also added some new LED accent lights inside the boat to go along with the speaker LEDs
