Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
These are custom but you can buy them. Most if not all people buy the "Classic" pattern the Seadek uses too. They have a wood plank look and are super nice looking; I have done 3 boats in Classic Gray/black and alot of people also go Toffee/black for a brownish wood hue (pic attached). I also have my 2006 sx230 and 2008 sx210 that I did a few years ago in the classic. I love the classic and is definetely the most refinded looking for the limiteds and regular sx230/240s, but for like the AR or X boats I could not wait to jazz it up with something a bit wilder....
With my 2008 SX230 watersports boat, like yours, I feel like the AR is wilder and wanted to try something different with the mats. I was really torn between wave pattern and the retro square; the retro kinda of matched my decals but in the end thought they were too busy on the big boat. You can make them anyway you want for $720 for complete kit (interior and exterior) The Blacktip elite as I am sure has been discussed quite a bit is identical to Seadek and a much better price.
Here are the options (yes I sell these but do not want to step on anyones toes):
This is very helpful as I try to pick out new matts for my 2004 SX230. I wish on the SBT it should show a preview of the color combo the buyer selects. Searching through Google to try and find same setup as yours above but blue with slate gray.
