I spent the day doing a couple of small mods to get her ready to drop her in the water!

A bit of future advice, don't let the excitement of a new boat distract you from "CHECKING THE GAS" assuming the dealer filled it, prior to launching! We spent 45 mins at two fuel docks, finding them closed, before trailering home!20160423_195305.jpg 20160424_132939.jpg 20160424_132949.jpg 20160424_133005.jpg 20160424_161001.jpg
 
Looks great @shane hric! Love the pic of your daughter standing on the back.
 
Congratulations!
 
Congrats on the new boat. I think it's one of the best looking boats Yamaha has put out.

Great looking boat, get ready for some fun and it's better to go with a full tank than one of my first trips and finding out 1/3 of tank on the gauge actually means empty and getting towed in!

No doubt! Needless to say, I learned an important lesson!
 
just bought the same boat, cant wait to get her in the water
 
Congrats on the new boat. Looks great.

I had a similar story when I bought a suburban many years ago. After I signed papers and got in it to drive home I found out that the Dealer sold it to me with the low fuel light on and not even enough gas to get home. Had to drive across the street to the gas station. 44 gallons later I was on my way. Last time I visited that dealership ;)

Anyway, enjoy all the fun memories that you and your family will have in your new boat!!!
 
Whose idea was it to get the thrust vectors? Does it help even with the keel?
 
Boat looks great BTW!
 
I love that color combo! Best of luck!
 
Congrats my friend!
 
At least you brought a paddle.
