Now that I am mostly the proud owner of a 242x, I can start thinking about spending more money.

It seems like the stereo is pretty well set (I haven't heard it yet)

What are some things (sea deck) that you guys are adding to this boat?
 
Not an x owner but I have been on one and they are just like my potatoes .... loaded.
See this post for the first thing every boat owner should do https://jetboaters.net/threads/very-first-mod-every-boat-owner-should-do.9189/

Joking aside the first would be install a stoltz bow roller before you even tow it off the lot if possible. Next would be replace the tires with radials if you will be doing any towing because they fenders will crack and that trailer is bouncy.

Make sure to check the the dvsr black wire is connected. Seadek is great IMO but the carpet is pretty darn nice on the X too. The stereo is good but the amps and sub are not the greatest so if you like big bass that is something to consider. Boards and tubes are a must for the X of course. Remove those darn warning stickers and name her.

Besides that enjoy the fact that you won't have to mess with too much take photos and post them up for us too see.
