Very very nice! I just bought the same boat, and have been looking on IPD’s site. Your graphics are awesome. Love the tower. Looking good. Can’t to see updates. Subscribed!!

Updates for today - Blacktip mats are in. All seats in. Cut in some custom traction areas on dash and soforth.
Reupholstered swim platform seats installed.
6x Pyle Hydra speakers and new wiring have been replaced.
1x 600w rms sub. pyle "3000w" marine amp (if hit by a zeus lightning bolt.)
Not the greatest sound system ive heard. Keep it low on the gain and its clear though.
portapotty installed w/ velcro.
factory outlets on dash have been replaced with usb 3.0 & volt meter. and another usb I think.
Fusion radio. Great quality.
K&N air filters & ribbon deletes installed.

I want to give a shotout to @Texatl the 2015+ 242 Limited S cover fits nearly perfectly. Couldnt find this information ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET.

 

[kaczman]

Some mock up for new decals and registration stickers ill be running soon

the 2015+ 242 Limited S cover fits nearly perfectly.

Those vents above the windshield are in a weird position. The "correct" 2011 Mooring Cover has them over the side windows. It looks like you might get some water inside during a good rainstorm. The cover you got probably fits your tower better than the factory cover would.

Daaaaaamn!!! That tower perfect! Nice. Very nice! It looks great ??

now I’ll have to find one like @Nightmare showed above, since my tower is like that one. Mine is starting to get a little wear on it.

And those vents sit exactly where mine do- top of the windshield. Don’t know what to say. I’ve had it in rain covered like that and no appreciable water got inside.

Very nice, @kaczman ... great job! Love the updates... keep em coming. It's crazy how a few mods can increase the boat's appearance/"newish" by years. My trailer is the same color. I plan on having it painted black over the winter.

 

[adamncincy]

Also, did you run wires through your tower?

Agreed. I did not run wires as I dont think I'll be hanging anything off the tower as of yet.

This is from a few months ago - but post season maintenance - Oil change, filters, spark plugs, new switch covers, steering wheel emblem, seadek on the dash, etc.
