@CraigLombardi
If I remember correctly, you had a Big Air Wake Tower flag holder..... right? They've been on back order for months but they are back in stock. Did you get the 2-2.5" diameter holder? You also got the flag pole from them too right? 1 flag or 2? Good quality?

Done with my questions..... thanks!

I have flag holders on mine....you can see the details by clicking the Yamaha 242X link in my signature. My flag holders could really use a set screw...someone on here added the screw to theirs and powder coated them too!

Sorry, haven’t been on the forum for a bit and just saw this. Yes, I got the 2-2.5 version. I believe our tower is 2 3/8 diameter and one of the sleeve inserts that came with it made it fit just right. I also got the additional flag pole that has a rubber base so it fits snug in the holder and the thumb screw tightens it down so it doesn’t rattle around. Great quality, very pleased.

No problem, I ended up ordering that exact one along with a flag pole. Supposed to be delivered tomorrow but obviously it will be a bit until I have it on the boat and out on the water....

If I go to Bimini this year, July 7th-13th is the window I have pretty much locked in on! Typical! Of the whole year next year, I currently have 2 things on the calendar, a work meeting in San Antonio the 3rd week of Jan, and Bimini that week! LOL

Won't stop others in the area from hosting a party!!!

Pretty sure a 212 LS is in my near future. Looking to meet up with some people and make some new friends this spring/ summer. We have a 12 year old daughter too, so if you have a child her age, even better!

Thanks for a great forum full of ideas (ie: wallet emptier)

Are y'all open to a family from Charlotte joining the Raleigh/Durham crew for this (my boat is asking as it monitors the forums - apparently since leaving the factory it misses spending time with its siblings)? Kids will be 12 and 15 by then too . . .

We are open to any and all! We should probably settle on a date for the 2019 gathering....

Just throwing a couple of dates out there..... How about the weekends of 8/10 or 8/17?

Probably should start a new thread too! LOL

I could be in for either of those dates.
