Take it easy on the way home. Looks like you took the Bimini off the T top so you don't have worry about that. Now maybe I'll see you going down the road!

Got the cruise set at 60..!

Next time you're in town come check it out!

My wife stood on that very SeaDek this spring when we visited JBP to pick up some accessories during our Destin vacation. Nice ride, she approves!

Actually this is a deluxe, black hull. I Like the '16 gray better, not too keen on the blue. This one has the Cycle Springs Saltwater Series T-top, waited 4+ weeks to get top done. First trip on Lake Tarpon....Fast bust still wish it had more power. Does feel different than a normal boat, feels like a BIG jetski. Was very windy and choppy, even for a lake. Dry even running north with a 15+ mph east wind. No water splashed into boat whatsoever....41 mph top speed, 2 people @ 365lbs total and 20 gallons into wind. Bit noisier than I was expecting. Sorry your having issues Tonka....Hope they make you happy so you can enjoy the boat....

That's right, I remember now... Yeah that stainless top looks looks sick w the black. Looks like a $45k + boat by just looking at it. Your set up is my favorite of all I have seen. The black looks classy.

Yeah the frustration with my boat is because a little bit of quality control at the factory could have prevented all of this aggravation. I still love the design and price point of the boat and would buy one again as long as it was in acceptable condition.

Yamaha should be greatful that I took the time to give some real feedback and not just accept this quality as the norm...They still have the time to correct these issues and prevent more going forward to save their brand name.

"Puff, puff, pass."
Yamaha hasn't seemed to give much credence to anyone's issues yet. Enjoy the boat though, they're still fun.

Yeah, I guess I'm a Yamaha fan boy living in a fantasy world. Lol
I did not expect this kind of quality control from Yamaha. Its not like the company has been sold or something.
I've owned street bikes, dirt bikes, instruments and stereo equipment from Yamaha. Their stuff has always been of superior quality no matter what they made. These boats are definitely "out of character" for them. Bizarre.
