Finally got our 195S

[FTBS311]

After having placed a deposit back in Oct for a Jan delivery only to be delayed repeatedly i started looking around for a backup plan. Found a Blue 195S in Charleston Thursday AM available. Locked her down and drove 2.5hrs to pick her up Saturday morning. Dealership was great to work with as well. Got the usual Coast Guard kit and anchor from dealer, but was happy when they threw in the Mooring cover!!
Already ordered a few things from JetBoatPilot - Engine Walk Over & Table Top SeaDek.
Found a place to order Boat Name Lettering. Placed my order for Cobra Super Ultimate Deluxe Steering. Next plan is to place order with Wet Sounds for more Sounds!!
Ready for Spring weather to kick in. So excited to finally have her home.

Congrats on the new boat! I hear you about waiting... June order and deposit, our blue 195S came in October 28... just in time for the end of the season. 2.5 hours on it and it has sat in winter storage since then. May spring and warm weather come to all of us sooner rather than later.

Anchor and mooring cover you did great. Had to purchase anchor and mooring cover separately, when we deposited on our 195. Seeing 195S's being delivered, all yacht blue over the last 10 days. We are waiting on a grey and burgundy hopefully we get our call by mid month.

The white piece was a protective sticker. I already ordered the Stoltz Bow roller to replace. The Canopy was in the back of my Ride. They literally just got this boat in. They water tested it, did the final systems check, gave me the walk around and the once over and i took it home.

Nice, she does look great on the water. Hoping to get mine out soon. Got the Cobra Jet Steering in today and Wet Sounds should be delivered this weekend! Lots of projects planned the next few weeks. May take her out for a nice cruise. We have a slip and the launch is close by.

@FTBS311 I can’t exactly tell, but what are you using for a tow vehicle? I really like it

Thanks! That is my 2021 Hyundai Palisade Limited. She towed like a champ. Cool thing is, after a few miles the suspension auto levels too.

Saturday was a great mail day! Gonna run out today to grab a 2nd battery and get ready for Audio install.

@FTBS311 would love to see a pic of these Rev 8 installed, and how you find the head clearance. I just took delivery of the same tower speakers, and I am 6'3" and a little worried they might be too big.

They sit pretty high up and back. I can stand straight up and they are behind me.
