Got my 2015 242 Limited S today!

@jawsf16 @MattFX4

35's yeah you are going need a lift for sure to fit those monster on your truck, I got 33's and only 9" width and I have a some rub at full turn
Crazy but the tires cost almost more than the rims, airbags and leveling kit / Also check your engine gear – I only have 3.31 gear so for me to add 35’s I would have to regear which is a few grand to do
You can get some rear airbags under $500 / I love that I can just add some air to get more rear height – before pulling in drive way I add air to prevent bottoming out
I dropped almost $4K for my complete set up!

I hear you man. I spent $1,000 on adjustable coilovers just to level my truck. Pretty cool though because I can adjust lift from 0-3". Looking back I should of just went with a 4" lift. Anyways, thanks for the info. Enjoy that beautiful boat!
 
Took the boat on the water for the first time!
Get to ramp and forgot just about everything!!!!!
Start engine - engine error? Huh? 5 minutes later oh damn the clean out plugs!!!
Engines start sweet!!!!

Park trailer and then try to restart….. No Start… WTF?
Another 5 minutes later, oh yeah the safety lanyard……

Beached for a while and try to start engines to leave….. No start? You Fu?!?!@ Kidding Me!

Enjoy the new vessel, very nice find. Been there many times on the WTF issues. Usually preceded by my wife having me run inside for something midway through my mental pre-boating checklist.
