Awesome day on the water today and the boat is officially ours. The sound deadening they did for us made a huge difference (night and day). It's not as quiet as a 24' 2015 and newer but it's darn near that quiet. And it was very loud (in my opinion) before the work was done. Now the noise is not bothersome at all. Very noticeable difference at all speeds. That was so worth the money spent as we got the size we wanted (21') at the price we wanted to be at with almost the quietness of the 24' ones.

Also, the Cobra Ultimate system with Fangs and the Locking System for Clean out ports were installed.

Wow what a difference in steering! Worth every dollar spent and Jeff was a pleasure to deal with, as he shipped me the Cobra system quickly so they could have it all installed for me for pickup day today.

Very happy we made these purchases as now it truly is the perfect boat for us!

Loved the first time out as new boat owners. This will be a fun summer out on the water!

Thanks again for all your help and opinions on everything!

I think the boat will look the most sleek with the Bimini top folded all way down and back or off completely but I gotta say that shade came in handy today as it was blazing hot on the water.

Here's a few pics I took today. Included a few pics of Cobra Ultimate Steering system and the fangs. If your on the fence, don't hesitate as they work awesome!

That is AWESOME @NewBoater!!

Glad you and the family are able to enjoy the new toy. Congratulations! You guys be safe out there and please post pics. The only thing we like more than our boats are the smiles that they bring.

Just curious @NewBoater, what did the dealer do or add for sound deadening? Wondering if it is like many of the sound deadening mods that many here have posted in the past.

BTW, glad you are enjoying your new boat!

Some pictures of the sound deadening would be helpful.

Awesome day out on the water today. We love the boat and it's definitely MUCH quieter and sounds a lot like the new 24' boats. Sound insulation worked wonders. I snapped a few pics for you guys that wanted to see pics of it. I have so much to learn. How to dock it well, how to remove and install the nice black Yamaha mooring cover. The guys at the Boatel helped me take it off today. Here some pics from out on the water today and also of the sound insulation in the engine compartment.

So they just installed it over the existing insulation?

That looks like a cleaner install than the factory insulation on my 24.

She looks great! Congratulations!

Thanks!!

Had another great day out on the water today. Had my first experience with something getting stuck in the clean out port and just did reverse and then forward hard each way and it blew right out. I read on this site how to do that and it worked wonders. This site has been so helpful for me and I appreciate all of you guys very much! Very much looking forward to a summer on the water enjoying the boat!

Glad that the maneuver worked. After you went into a hard reverse, did you throw it into a hard forward or turn the engines off? I thought I read that the engines should be turned off after the hard reverse. Just wanted to make sure. I have not had anything getting stuck yet, but it will happen someday. Thx.
