OK, I have no logical reason to be selling my boat and looking for another , Ex. that I want to !! I purchased this 16 AR240 new in May of 2016. It is still under Yamaha YES warranty until May of 2020 which is probably not a big deal since the boat has been perfect and never required anything but routine maintenance. I immediately upgraded the trailer from the crappy bias ply tires to radials (including spare) and replaced the stock bow roller with a far superior Stoltz as you will see in the attached image. So far as the boat itself : 75 hours on the engines. After the first season we removed all the OE carpet from the cockpit and replaced with SeaDek plus several of the optional Seadek pieces in areas unprotected previously. The boat has the JBP manual throttle sync lever. Just to be perfectly clear , this is NOT an engine RPM sync, but a simple inexpensive way of using one lever and locking the other to it. It can be engaged or disengaged with the flip of a switch. I have both the JBP thrust vector XV fins and the JBP lateral thrusters. Currently (as pictured) I am running the Cobra Jet Magnum AK fins with the JBP lateral thrusters. Both would go with the sale of boat. Last year I purchased the push button engine start / stop kit from @ Mainah and with his support has proven to be the best mod on the boat IMHO. I replaced the terrible OE speakers with Polk DB651s (4). I keep the boat at a covered wetslip on a lift at Lake Cumberland during the boating season. Never in the water unless being used and ALWAYS hosed off with fresh water after each outing. Never in salt water. About November of each year I return it to my home in Lexington , where we wash and hand wax the hull , clean and apply 303 fabric protector to the Bimini and store for the winter covered by the factory shipping cover. It has remained in storage until about the first week of April when I return it to the lift at Cumberland.The boat would also include the black premium Yamaha mooring cover that is also cleaned and fabric protected during the off season. Thanks for your consideration and please feel free to pm me with issues I may not have addressed ?
