Thanks man. I had it installed by No Wake. They carry the Roswell Marine line.
I bet it sounds awesome. Did it take them long to install the system? Was it to pretty expensive if you don't mind me asking?

I went with 20% in my first Yamaha jet boat. Looked great from the outside but it was hard to see out of the passenger side windshield when the center wind shield was folded over it to give access to the bow. On my current Yamaha I paid to have 35% installed and I like it a lot better especially when the open center is concerned. I shopped around and eventually went local for around $400. Whatever you do, don't let them talk you into giving them permission to remove the windows to install the tint or you could be dealing with realignment issues, gel cost gouging, lose fasteners, etc. I learned this the hard way in round two.

I left it with them for a couple of weeks but it really only took him about 4 days to install. Are you asking if the install was expensive or if the whole system was? I have about $2,600 in it with the tower speakers, 2 amps, sub and 6 component speakers.

I saw a grey/orange AR240 on the lake this past weekend with tinted windows and it looked great. I think he said it was 35%.

I would like to get my windshield tinted as well. Thinking it has to be 20% or maybe 5% tint for it to look great ...... What type of film do you guys recommend? I take my AR240 to Newport Beach, CA often... so the window tint film has to withstand the ocean environment. Any photos would be greatly appreciated.
