coming from from a 2007 this is my take

• love the handling and details
• reverse control way better also forward control, i dont know if i will need vectors.
• Amp quit working
• throttles and steering is silky smooth
• liking the single throttle feature, used it all the time i was out there.
• acceleration is quick and powerfull
• had to lower the tower to go under a bridge easy no bolts just one for the bimini it also has 2 gas struts for smooth operation wife did it herself.
• heading out now so illl get pic of her on the wagter .

The gas struts is not something i had heard about. Very nice.

I still do not understand what this cut out in the head is for...? My table does NOT fit in there.

Maybe that is a grab handle if there is a toilet?

The gas struts is not something i had heard about. Very nice.

They started using them in 2017 I believe. They come integrated in the E series towers. It is a nice touch for sure.

This is @jcyamaharider pic of his tower but a good look at it...'

It's hard to tell from the angle of the pic if there is space under the cutout. If so, maybe it's to hold a small garbage can?

Im heading over the lake ill take pics, i belive you could put a small trash can in the cutout next to the pax seat, yes there is a toilet paper holder,lol. No toilet, dont want it, i know someone will sneak and take a dump.

I never knew. I have never lowered mine because it looked like such a hassle.

That's where I keep my table. Place the white side toward the skin of the boat and it'll fit nicely. Keeps the table out of the way and it hasn't moved.

Beautiful boat!

That strut is sweet. My 17 Limited S doesn't have it. Wonder if there would be a way to retrofit something like that.

After looking at the exploded views on Yamaha parts site it appears the shock only comes on the big bimini style towers. I think those only come on E series boats.

You can see the shock item 9 https://www.yamahasportsplaza.com/oemparts/a/yam/59b6ad1987a86611549405a6/wakeboard-tower

@sofakingbig Ajack beat me to it but the table will fit but only a specific way with the table top towards the hull.

Any pics of the table in there, I'm having a hard time envisioning it fitting it in there!
