Greetings. New SX195 owner from NE Ohio.

[Jonnyspeed]

Just want to say hello and a big THANK YOU! to this forum. It was the thread on the 195 actually able to fit inside a garage that got me to look at it. I took the family to see the left over '18 model and everyone loved it. Can't wait to pick it up next weekend!

We live in North Royalton, Ohio and will split our time between the Sandusky bay of Lake Erie, Chippewa lake, Pleasant Hill, West Branch, Mosquito, and who knows where... that's the beauty of a trailer boat.

Now, somebody point me towards mods that will get me to 60mph (In time...)

Welcome and enjoy the boat

Welcome aboard! I’m new-ish to the forum, joined 6 months ago when I put my deposit on a 2018 210 FSH. There is a wealth of knowledge and knowledgeable folks here that can help with just about any issues you can think of. I am really glad I found this forum, it’s been exceedingly helpful. Enjoy the new toy!

Thanks! Nice choice of boats. I really liked the 210 FSH. Thought about that one long and hard. In the end I went with the boat that would fit our garage and had the best chance of turning my non-boating wife and son into boat lovers

Thank you! I like the speed of the 195’s, but for me I really wanted a “pickup truck for the water”. Something that can do it all. If I want to fish, tube, or just cruise around this seemed to check the most boxes. Plus I love the CC helm position and look. As for yours, keep in mind most of us want to see pics of that 195 when you pick her up!

Welcome aboard! You will love that boat!

Welcome! From another Buckeye and '18 SX195 owner. Picked up our SX the end of last year and located in Canal Fulton (tiny town near Massillon). Love the boat! We have only been to Portage Lakes, but plan on hitting up West Branch, Tappan, Lake Erie, Pleasant Hill and wherever else semi local. Heading to Lake Cumberland in August for a little fun.

Can't help with the speed mods. I have only added the Cobra Jet Viper to eliminate the "sit and spin". Got spooked real good one day heading toward the bridge with a boat coming the other way. Put it in "neutral" and the damn thing kicked full sideways on me. Everyone was looking at the newbie.

Welcome! Out in Solon... keep the boat at lake Milton though for the summer. Enjoy!

Welcome and Congratulations on your new boat.

Rad boat! Congrats!

Congrats on the new 195! You're gonna love it. I did with my 192. Lots of mods you can do to overcome any issues or concerns about handing and speed. Pick it up, take it out, break it in and most of all...Enjoy! Post pictures when you get it.

Is this your first boat? Is this your first jet boat?

 

[Jonnyspeed]

Thanks everyone. Not my first boat, but it is my first Jet boat. I've been boating on and off for over 40 years. I have a few hours in my brother's Seadoo Challenger, but that's it. Tips and tricks appreciated. I'm just thrilled that I actually have a boat this nice that fits in my garage, if only just...

Change out that roller! Search the forum for Stoltz when you get a chance I think the 4 inch one works the best.

 

[Wishfull1]

I changed mine right away, but there already was some damage. Not only did the stock one scratch, it also "dented" the finish. I used the Stoltz 3.5" RP-355 with bells. Works perfectly.
