View attachment 146394My Thrust Vectors have arrived! Will be installing tomorrow and head to the Lake this weekend. Going to be in the 80’s here.👍
Nice !! There is a very recent Youtube installation video posted with "Will?" commentating and doing the install. It took the mystery out of it for me. I'm going to go stock steering for the first 10 hours and then decide BUT i (we) are super interested in your opinion of the Thrust Vectors.

New toys still rolling in for the boat. Hopefully this life vest fits me better. They're either all too small, or too big. Doesn't help I'm 6'4" and 205lbs. So kind of tall, but not necessarily that big around. So far it fits great out of the water. It's for 40-44 chest. I'm really close to a 40, however if I get a medium that's sayyyyyyy 36-40 it's like I'm wearing a halter top. LOL!

Booster ball to help keep the rope out of the water so I can sling people better. Trying not to tow people from the tower.

Arrived yesterday. installed today. I really like the clean look. Looks like factory. I was considering using the other vendor, but didn't want to look like a B-29 Liberator from WWII

I had no idea the size either. It's massive. LOL!
That would be great to use in your bow to stabilize the cover....

Let us know how the booster works...might look into that. All they want to do on the tube is swing from side to side.

Put my new cover on that came in today!
@OBXjetboater I've never seen a Yamaha cover with the dealer info on it. Did they give you a break on the price to act as a rolling billboard? :)

Boat/cover looks great, nice color scheme.

@RobbieO, it still felt a little precarious boarding the boat since the bow is so high on the 252. I'll be adding some grip tape to the trailer where I step and maybe these bow mats later: SeaDek Port/Starboard Bow Mats Yamaha 25 Foot Sport Boat (2021-Current)
I already ordered the SeaDek for my anchor door, but still on backorder. I was going to order the ones for the side of the bow, but it would look too busy. I'm not even sure I can climb on my 21 footer,let alone a 25 footer because I have a bad back. I laugh at myself. I bought a nice boat but can't get in the damn thing.🤣🤣

Yup, will do! Hopefully not too much longer and we'll be in the water.
