Was this taken recently? If so, I'm surprised that the boat is floating and not beached! There's only 36" of water in the channel last I heard.
We went out on Sunday. Theirs 4'-5' in the marina and 11'-12' out in the lake.

:) that's very good news! Maybe I'll take a break from doing stuff to my boat to actually using it one of these weekends. Utah Lake is so much more convenient than all the other ponds near the valley.

I noticed that you have the slam pack tower speakers Mine are getting installed tomorrow and I was wondering if you used the amp that came in that package and if so how they sound I'm worried that it won't be enough. What do you think. Also how does it work with the coconut screen. Are those tower speakers able to be controlled through that system. I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to electronics obviously with these questions

Lol! Coconut screen, I thought it was a cool slang term for a bimini top I was unaware of! I might just start calling it that...:p

Gotta call my dealer first thing in the morning. I sure hope they didn't mount my speakers to the front tube. I need to take your pictures there and just tell them to copy it. Sure wish I could do the work it would make it a lot easier. Thanks for all the pics

I used the amp it came with and adjusted just how it tells you and they sound awesome. They'll setup the stereo where all the cockpit/transom speakers with be front and tower speakers will be rear or vise versa, allowing you to fade them in and out.

Do you not have the thrust vectors on your boat. How does it do with just the new keel. I went ahead and bought them. I think I'm gonna take mine out once without them and the put them on. I'm curious how much of a difference it will be. Our weather is killing me it will probably be another month before we can get out and still the water will be cold for two months

@jwells I haven't got them. So far I haven't felt the need for them, but it's really personal preference.

I here ya I bought them without really talking to anyone with a 2015 so I guess I'll try them out. Can't hurt nothing and they were not expensive

I got my speakers installed on the tower finally. I had the led light rings put on all the speakers in the boat and on the tower and it looks great. I will try to get a picture put on here as soon as I figure out how. Not good with computers at all

That is a great looking setup you've got there @Williamsone46. All you guys getting these 2015's are making me very envious. Since I probably won't be able to afford a 2015 until 2025. lol!
