Picked up today in Tampa. Was already able to drop her in the water and get my bearings. Coming from a 2000 seadoo challenger I'm used to jet boats but really missed the lateral thrust steering. Otherwise really loving the boat so far. Amazed by how quiet it is compared to my noisy 2-stroke. The cruise control and throttle by wire on the e-series is very nice to use. The ski compartment is roomy lol. Will definitely be replacing that strut so that it opens all the way.

Nice man! I love mine. Got a red one w black hull. And I'm gonna get a new strut for the ski locker too! LOL. I'm coming from a 2007 AR230 and it is a huge step for me. Can't imagine coming from your Sea Doo...
 
Best looking Yamaha ever (but I might be biased since I'm taking delivery of the same boat in a couple of weeks)!
Are you planning to keep the bimini permanently deployed since you can use the boat all year down there? (jealous)
 
Congrats on the new ride and welcome to the forum!
 
Great looking! Congrats!
 
Great boat! I took delivery of the same boat last week!
 
I've had mine a month now and LOVE it!

Seadek and Cobra Magnums are on order.
