First jet boat! 2020 195s

[Medvec04]

Hello guys just picked up my first jet boat. Picked up a 2020 195s. I live in Jacksonville Florida! Just wondering what the first things you guys do to your boats? Currently just bought a thrust vector wake! Thank you for any comments!

Congrats and welcome. We bought our 195S last month and love it. Check out my build thread for everything I've done so far. Much more coming over the winter as well.

Congrats on the new boat!

The absolute first thing you buy should be a Stoltz bow roller (search this site for the correct part # )
It will prevent your beautiful new boat from getting scuffed up (badly) by the stock hard plastic roller.

Besides that everything else is whatever you prefer. If you spend any amount of time on this forum we’ll help you spend all sorts of money modding your boat

I vote Stoltz roller, possibly new tires if you trailer lots (like we do 6-7,000 miles a year) so we upgraded to radial Goodyear Endurance. As for the boat not sure what maps look like on a 7” connext but if that’s not to good maybe a chartplotter .

It was a cheap change to give a great look. Here's mine.

Congratulations on the new boat! Tower speakers and a sub are a must.

Super nice. Are they easy to access to change?

Not too bad, but then I'm 5'7" and 170#. lol
You have to lay down IN the starboard rear seat to get at them from the inside. It helps to have someone on the outside to help hold them still while you tighten them down. You'll also need a rasp or something similar to ream the hole out a bit for the 1/2" bypass outlets. If you get on to Rob's Yamaha Jetboat DIY on youtube, he has a video on it. I took the idea from him.

Congratulations! First upgrade I made was the lateral thrusters from JetboatPilot, made docking so much smoother for this rookie.

Post pictures!!

Welcome to the forum!


Lots of great info here with nice, knowledgeable people to help keep you on the water.

You first mod should be to improve steering at low speeds (which you did). ?
2nd, 3rd, 4th should be ribbon delete, larger intercooler, upgrade sound with amps and better speakers, add additional speakers in cockpit/helm area, dual batteries, lights, etc (not necessarily in that order). Check out member's sigs for more mods they have done. Have fun and good luck!

Did I mention that you should drive it like you stole it??
