It will have removable Seamat (not seadek....looks and feels identical). They told me they were trying to have that for last year, just couldn't get it done in time.....and no removable seadeck for the 242 x series?
Right, but you really need to take Seamat out anytime it gets wet, I don't see how you would get it to dry (underneath it) otherwise. Seadek is easy, you hose it off and let it dry, no moisture underneath.The removable seamat is just like seadek. They only decided to make it removable so you could easily replace it if it were damaged....and clean it easier IF you wanted to. I suspect most would just leave it in and hose it off--rarely removing it.
Looks like the 19' boats still have the flush out port inside the boat like on current models. Personally I don't like it moved out back but do wished it was mounted higher so I didn't have to remove my seat cushion.
Glad they are at least attempting to solve the plug issue.
Thanks for the scoop on the 2017 models @Julian.
I'm curious, did Yamaha decide to fix the battery voltage issue with the Connext display?
I don't see removeable Seamat being any better than carpet IMO, you still have to pull it up to clean dirt/sand/Cheetos from under it, not to mention it being wet under there and getting moldy or nasty without pulling it up to dry it.
It may feel better than carpet but that'd be the only plus it seems....I'll just keep my AR230 with SeaDek
