It's the "Aerial Surf Platform (ASP)". It came with the ballast system and creates more of a wake. I HATE having the ballast system. We don't do any wake surfing, but it was installed when I got the boat. I may have the dealer take it out when I take it in for service. The only advantage I see to the ASP is it gives me a little more real estate on the swim platform.

Oh, okay. Makes sense. Looks like you could turn it into a cooler! So you can stay in the water to get more drinks. :winkingthumbsup"

I am not sure if I am more jealous of your ASP set up or the beautiful water you boat in! I will get some up this weekend of my Chap.

Nice!! At least we have one more team player. I like that blue and black combination. Haven't seen that color scheme before.

Phew. I was hesitant to click on this thread, I just imagined some joker posting a pic of some not so scenic assless chaps.

Those are some great looking boats!

@blackhawkpilot The 2016 203 can have dual 150s or single 200 or 250. I have the 250. Would have loved to have duals this past weekend as I sucked up a rope. We were able to limp back and cut it out and got back out on the water.

That could be cool to have the dual 150s. I did not realize that either.

I had no idea the 203's have a one engine option. Interesting.

Yes... I have 1 250 in my boat.

My boat also seems to have an issue with my Medallion speedometer before connecting to whatever it connects to for time/gps/direction/etc. That photo was taken when I first started up after an hour of swimming and not even yet up on plane. Yup. Pretty damn impressive! :) Go chaps!!!
