I just picked up a blue '17....I am super envious of the 'sunroof' on the '18 bimini. I know the frame is different and would sit in the window, but what's your view of getting a 17 bimini modified with zips etc to recreate the sunroof?

Cheers,
Simon.

Got the boat out to Havasu this past week. Great weather 94 degrees and the water was awesome!

I’m picking up my ‘18 242X in a week. Are the new trailers having the same issue with the wheels/tires?

How long was that drive to Havasu for you?

That's primarily where I boat...there and Lake Mohave in Lauhglin so we can gamble.

Where are you docked in that pic..cant tell?

Nice! I'll be in Havasu in July

It's 9 hours for me!

Wow....that's a nice long trip. How often do you make it down? Looks like u might be down river in those pics?

Lake mohave is also very nice.

Just put my 2018 242X in the water yesterday and I have an issue I wanted to ask you about. When I go to turn right the boat starts to vibrate and the engine rpm's and boat speed decrease dramatically. I olnly have a slight speed reduction when turning left. I checked both clean outs for debris and they were both clean and I couldn't see anything looking at the intake on the bottom or in either nozzle. I'm stumped

I'd do it in a second. I love the sunroof.

My dad has a place on the island, and I made it down prob 2-3 times a year. Although now have to come that way once every 30-45 days for work now. never been to Mohave, but I'd like to try and make it there this year once or twice.

I'd be concerned about the vibration. Something has to be in the thrust or loose... I don't really know where to point you other than just check everything or take it into your nearest dealer.

I'll be there at one point in July I'm sure with my boat or watercraft.

I was docked at the islander resort on the island in Havasu.

Thanks! I'm calling my dealer tomorrow. After doing some research it could be an out of alignment nozzle or they installed the wrong impellers at the factory.

The alignment of the nozzle would be easy to check, does the boat track straight or does it pull to one direction? If the wrong impeller was installed that'd be a constant problem not just when it was turning I'd think. Are the RPM's off while operating normally?

It tracks straight and the rpm’s are matched unless I go into a right turn

What are your favorite ballast settings? Thanks!

It was the reverser bucket that was out of adjustment. Vibration in a right turn fixed!

For surfing I do 100% rear ballast and use the Ronix wake wedge
