Finally got my new 2016 AR240 in! Got her in the water yesterday and got through my break in period today. It was a bit on the brisk side this morning, but, it was great getting her on the water. This is my first jet boat and man, does she get up on plane in a hurry. Can't wait for it to warm up some here in Ohio and get the kids out on the water.

Sweet. My ar230 is our first boat all together and we love it. Fast to plane and awesome. Hoping for warm weather and great times for your future.
 
Nice boat! You'll definitely love it when it gets warmer!

Now until then, we all want to know about those all important mods, as every Jet Boat needs some customization to truly make her your own...
 
Nice looking boat! Love that color combo!

Definitely getting quite a list of mods together that I want to do. Hard job trying to figure out what to do first.
 
Great looking boat! You're gonna have so much fun.

If I had to list my mods in order of importance... Stereo, Cobras or thrust vectors and EZ locks, SeaDek, additional batteries(for the awesome stereo in step 1), LED's, guide on poles for the trailer, storage mods in the head compartment.

Whew, that should get you started. Welcome to Jet Boat Modding. :D

Got the thrust vectors and EZ locks. Hadn't thought about the guide poles for the trailer yet, but, stereo, LED's and storage are high on the list.

Thanks for the recommendations!
 
just got mine today weather wasn't cooperative so I haven't gone out yet Love the color as well
 
Congrats on the boat. Love the black tower. Have a great summer!!!!!!!!!!
 
Congrats! You're going to have a lot of fun with your family this summer!
 
Awesome looking boat. It looks really good on the water. Congratulations!
 
Congrats man. She looks really good on the water. Like the color combo and everything
 
Looks awesome .... love the color! Congrats!
 
Congrats on the new ride! Looks sweet!
 
That is my favorite of the new boats. Looks awesome, but the windshield is definitely begging for a 5% or 20% tint... :winkingthumbsup"
