Hello from South Carolina

[Hal G.]

Hi everyone. My name is Hal. I live on Lake Murray. I am new to the forum but have had my 2014 SX192 for about 2 years.I want to add a few mods and figured this is the best place to get advise on where to start. The only thing that I have done so far was to install a thrust vector kit.

Hey @Hal G. ! I'm just North of Greenville, SC, I usually go to lake Keowee but we have been wanting to check out lake Murray. Not sure if you are looking to do performance mods, but I would love to try my Dean's Team ECU in a stock 192. I think everyone here wants to know how it will work. We will have to see if we can get together and try it.

Check out the link Swatski posted, there's a ton of info in there. It's a long read, but everything you can do for performance has at least been discussed.

Other than performance, there is a crazy amount of info on here with pics, tutorials, and knowledgeable people willing to help.

I would love to try and get together.I would love to see what the ÉCU will do. I want to do some mods but mostly want to get the heat soak issue taking care of. I have two boys and they love to tube so I notice the rpm drop after running for awhile. I have been looking at the YAMAHA FX SVHO FZR SHO 1.8 INTERCOOLER & BLOW OFF but the factory SVHO is cheaper and since I don't plan on going to crazy with the mods at the moment may be more of what I need.

Welcome @Hal G. glad you found us and decided to join. Good luck with finding all the mods you can handle here.

There are few members that call Lake Murray home. I live in Chapin thanks to @Andy S recommending that I check it out as it is also where he lives. I have done mostly electrical and audio mods. 2 JL amps, sub, added and upgraded speakers, push button start, shore charger, connext voltage fix, dvsr combine with engine on only, push button start, cobra steering, bow roller swap, and ridesteady to cover most of them.

I have noticed that heat and humidity decrease my top end. Now that things have cooled off I get a couple of extra mph top end. Not much time spent at top end though. Lake Murray is big so I cruise in the 30-35 mph range to conserve fuel and make for a more comfy ride for everyone on board with all of the boat traffic chop that is prevalent on Lake Murray.

I am the only gray hull and tower 242 LS I have seen out here so don’t be afraid to wave us down if you see us out there. We spend most of our time west of Timberlake but do get over to Liberty and Bomb Island now and again. Liquid Therapy is embroidered as the boat name on the lower seat backs.

Welcome to the site and enjoy all the mods on here.

I'll give you a like for Greenville, SC and another for Lake Keowee...see you at the Tiki Hut! HA!

Welcome @Hal G. Keep in mind, most of us seem to eventually define "a few mods" as 10+! I can't wait to get my lateral thrusters around the end of the year. We spend most of our time on Keowee an Jocassee, but have also hit Greenwood Hartwell and the Marion/Moultrie/Cooper River run to Charleston (a blast). We definitely need to come check out Murray.

Another SC boater here. Currently live in Greenville SC and moving to Greenville NC. I've heard nothing but good about lake Murray but never been on it. Usually out at lake Keowee.

Welcome to the forums! I also boat on Murray during the season. I started with a AR192 and had the heat soak issues as well. I never got around to fixing the issue since I upgraded to an AR240 but most have cured the issue with the IC upgrade. Like @Mainah said if you see an AR240 with Motor Boatin on the stern give a wave. I can't wait to get back on the water. If you would like you can PM me your phone # and when I return from Afghanistan we can all meet up. Maybe have a small gathering in June. Once again, welcome!

 

[Hal G.]

Sounds like a plan!!
