@WildCatFan54 Nice boat! I really like the suede gray in our boat, very classy IMO!

Just looked back at the order and what I got was the “Chrome Emblem 16 Pcs.” The 3” tall all chrom raised one. I see they only have an 18 letter option now, but it’s the same price as what I paid for 16🤷‍♂️

Either way, they came mounted to a clear front facer pre-spaced and aligned, very easy to install. Ignore the reviews that say they fall off, those are the people that didn’t remove their wax coating before mounting.

Here’s a closer photo from when I put them on:

I see you’re from KY, what’s your home lake? We want to get down to lake Cumberland next season.

Thanks , looks marvelous. I'm also looking at carbon fibre black with chrome outline but either would be an improvement from the white stick -ons installed by the dealer. I keep the boat at State Dock ( Jamestown) on Lake Cumberland. Covered wet slip with lift so it stays there year round. Give me some advance notice next season before your trip and we will try to hook up ? Keep enjoying that beautiful boat !

Please consider trashing that bow roller and going with the Stoltz combo since it seems you trailer frequently ? Many members , including me on my previous Yammi, noticed lots of gelcoat scuffs and scratches around the roller. The Stoltz is a much softer , polyurethane material , as compared to that hard plastic that Shorelander / Yamaha use as OE. You will be doing yourself a BIG favor. I went with the 3.5" roller and bells from day one on my 2019.

Will definitely drop you a line, looking forward to meeting up with fellow jetboaters next season.

Appreciate the tip. Boat is on and off the trailer at least twice a week. I’ve read the forums on Stoltz and will definitely be making the upgrade soon, along with adding a speaker at the helm like so many others have. For some reason the wife doesn’t like it when I blast zone 1 just so I can hear when driving from the helm!

I see you’re from KY, what’s your home lake? We want to get down to lake Cumberland next season.
We went to Lake Cumberland in mid August this year for a week and it was fantastic! We felt as though we had the lake to ourselves. Water temp around 90 and air temp in the 90's. Lots of tubing and skiing and just hanging out. Best part was, if you got hot, you just shut down and jumped in the water wherever you were and the water super clean and clear.

We rented a place in Monticello and slipped for the week at Conley Bottom. Conley was great, but... I was a little panicked when wicked storms rolled through in the overnight. I had to drive out and check on her since this was the first time we left her out to fend for herself. :) No damage and all was well. We are planning on going back.

Cheers!
