Hey Guys! Ive been wanting a 24' Yamaha for years. Finally decided to pull the trigger and got it out on the water this past weekend. I went with the dark gray and green combo. Holy cow is this thing quick. Im sure by cruising this site I will find what Im looking for but wondering if there are any groups in Arizona?
 
Welcome and Congratulations!! We need PICTURES!!!
 
Congrats. Let see some pics of that beautiful boat.
 
Congrats! Around here if we don't see pictures, it didn't happen!
 
Boat is currently at my local audio/video installer taking care of the disaster stock speakers that come in that boat. I will shoot some pics on Friday when I pick it up. Less than a week in and already have some decent mods done up!:)
 
Congrats on the new boat ! Now let's see her :cigar:
 
Congrats! I have the same boat. Just up graded the speakers with some JL audio speakers. Took all of 15 minute and $400 bucks best mod yet. I was out on the water yesterday with the new speakers. It's all you need to make the sound system 10 times better.
BTW. Do you hear a weird sound coming from the steering box behind the helm? I'm having a hard time telling if it's normal or problem.
 
Hey bones... I went with kicker 8" tower speakers and matched them with the 4 6.5s in the cabin. I had the boat on the water this past weekend and did not hear any noise at the helm. I'm coming from a 24' reinell Stern drive so there are some different noises but nothing that was of concern. We slept on the boat overnight and did notice a very odd thing happening. Courtesy lights would flicker about every 5 min. After reading the manual it looks like that is a notification that your bilge is in auto mode. For the naysayers, I forgot that I did take a picture from the weekend!20160521_174611.jpg
 
@Adam Abreu , welcome to the site and congrats on the great new boat. If you ever wander west to Havasu you'll see a bunch of Yammies running up and down and all over.

Have fun and be safe! :winkingthumbsup"
 
@Glassman that's awesome. Well make a few trips up there this summer. We were in Parker for spring break and saw a few on the river. I'll let you know when we plan on going up.
 
BEt you don't have a matching garbage can!!! YET!

Ha! @Bones I dont... but I did notice at Walmart today that they sell 3 different coolers that match that garbage can, and the boat, to a T.
 
Very nice. Enjoy your weekend. I will have 2 days of 10U baseball before finally getting on the water on Monday.
