Boat fired right up. Smooth but chilly all the way to 3 Dunes. This little boat is badass.

Common sense is doing what your state says to do, and there has been a no travel for awhile thats not mandatory, show us the common sense in traveling from a hugely populated area to a small town with limited everything so you guys can come have a fun few days!!!!r u serious???
Common sense is listening to what my state of california tells me to do? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Here we go I’m getting nervous. I’m putting everyone at risk with the lack luster payload and towing capacities.

I’m jealous Dave! Didn’t get to hit the water because we had to unpack. Guess we will see how mine runs tomorrow. All uncovered and ready to go. Have a very slight leak out of one trim ram.

Awesome dude! Glad to see y’all enjoying the boat. We’ve been in AZ for a week and have not pulled the boat out of storage yet. Been playing with the RZR this whole time. We are gonna get our 22 wet tomorrow hopefully. Might even head up to havasu sometime next week

The reveal. What do you think?

They’re flaws in the pattern and I wish it covered more of the gaps and edges. No reason why it couldn’t. They pretty much go by the non skid
Pattern but they’re flaws in the mold
with the non-skid too. Where it’s not symmetrical.

Overall, really easy to apply and looks great. I’m happy with it. $1200 for the kit with the boat show discounts.

Hanging in the channel now.

Looks great. Matches the grey really well. As far as the imperfections go, you are the only one who is going to notice.

Looks good. I looked around for your boat or OSB boat when I went on a quick run this morning but there weren’t many boats out.

Nice boat! I'm a bit jealous of your weekend and everything. Enjoy!

How's the hole-shot and top end on the boat? I'm looking for something like this soon. I don't want the bigger 27-29s mostly because it's too much boat (I don't like that many people on my boat lol) and I'd only want one with big power and don't want to spend that much.

Honestly that is one of the best Sea Dek to interior matches I’ve seen. It matches the interior color close and the lines look good with the patterns on the seats.

Well done.

This thing is pretty snappy. Hole shot is great, especially with the tabs lowered. I have a 6.2 Merc 350 and it’s an honest 65mph boat. The always have it loaded down. Today was full tanks, four adults and two kids with a cooler. It felt really strong.

Thanks. Picking all of the options was a task I thought a lot about. But like others have said, only I will notice the small stuff. I might even not care in a couple months. I’ll tell you what, it keeps much cleaner looking vs a white deck. Who ever is thinking about having someone install this for you, don’t. It’s pretty damn easy and forgiving.

i dont know I just like the other side...seems deeper?

I think the other side you don’t lose the view of the trailer momentarily while backing like you do on the south ramp.

Those motors are a lot stronger than people think. I was pleasantly surprised driving a few boats with then.

That 350 Hp 6.2 engine is a better choice than the standard 8.2 for any smaller sub 25 foot boat in my opinion.

The weight savings makes up for the power difference, and increased fuel mileage is a welcome bonus.

Ram owners are funny. Some picture mirrors are down. Then last picture mirrors are up? Did the boat get wider while being in the water or somethin? Haha
