The Brand New 2017 Yamaha AR195 and SX195

[Mike sanders]

Hmm wonder how much of a hit I would take.....

Btw the title has a typo

I paid $32k

I set mine up like you. I use the handle on the front of boat, the middle cleat, the wake board tower and the last cleat. I use the plastic fender hooks so I can hook them up in a snap and can still use cleats for tie downs. I agree, one more cleat would be very helpful.

I just picked up a couple wakeballast weight bags and placed them on each side under the back seats. Also just ordered two more factor pop up cleats.

So last week I went camping with the family and the campground had a mooring dock for a small fee. The current cleat setup on the AR 195 sucks, they really need to add another cleat between the bow cleat and the middle cleat. This would allow for better fender placement and would be a better tie point. Next project ordering two more cleats! Also this was the first time I really had people sit in the bow and was amazed by how much it dropped the bow. It really seems like the weight distribution is really thrown off when adding any weight in the bow. Looking into ordering about 200lbs of the weight bags to put at the back of the haul under the rear seats. View attachment 58800 View attachment 58801

Nice looking AR, and I like the mats you have added up front. Is that a specific kit you purchased, thinking I got to get that for my SX. Thanks for any info.

I purchased my flooring kit through GatorStep which is similar to Seadek. I attached the original proof below, if your interested I can dig up their contact information.

She is finally home at last! Installed the wake board rack, new wheels and tires, and spare tire mount. Tried to install the bow rolled but the boats sitting to far forward. View attachment 53435View attachment 53436 View attachment 53437

What wake board rack is that?

What wake board rack is that?

Samson typhoon swivel wake/surf rack, it was $665.00. I got it from the dealer so I'm not sure which diameter size.

Needless to say lots of rocks.. well now I am thinking of calling my insurance to file a claim.. lots of scratches and gauges first couple of feet on the keel.. downside of black hull all the white scratches jump right out... anybody have any experience with claims like this?...

Dan I was curious if you ended up submitting an insurance claim or not, if so how long it would take to fix something like this?

Hi Mike - has anyone looked at your boat yet? Hope you are doing good.

It's back at the dealer getting the work done. Going to be around $6,000. Deductible is $500. Just looking forward to getting it back and out in the water.

Good to hear Mike!! Take Care

Just did my 10hr oil change and maintenance checks myself!! Really easy and satisfying.

Well, out on the river yesterday (which was way down) and sucked up a golf ball size rock into the impeller. Was able to pull it out threw clean out port.. I did feel the blades and they are pretty jagged.. I guess new impeller is on tap this fall... aaagghh..

 

[Jp207]

Just think of it as your next mod! That must have sounded awful by the way!

Trying to find the link for video on pulling/ replacing impeller..... that rock brought the engine to a full stop quickly...

Love that idea..always wondered why jetboatpilot didn't have sea deck mats for the top of bow rails, that's how I usually exit the boat
