Hello!

[Lancasterlooter]

Just wanted to say Hi since I’m new here. We’ve got a 2016 SX190 that we bought new and it’s our first boat. We’ve learned so much about boating in the last 2 years and the Yamaha has been great so far with only a few problems. Looking to do a few mods and maybe you guys could give me your top 5 most satisfying...

That depends on what you like to do....

Welcome aboard @Lancasterlooter. What's your location? Are you a fresh or salt water boater? Fisherman or water sports. If you don't have them yet steering fins are a very popular item for most jetboaters as they add a lot of control at slow speeds and make steering at higher speeds easier. There are two member/vendors on our forum that developed them and offer them to us at very reasonable prices. We also have a forum that addresses your particular model.

Assuming it does not have it, Seadek is one item you could add.

my boys are into wake boarding and want a tower but don’t know if I want to make that purchase just yet

Good idea. I’ve been looking at a few different brands since the black pad on the rear of mine is staring to come apart.

Thank you. I live in Manteca, California and we go to lakes and the local delta. All freshwater so far. My boys and I like to fish from the boat and they are into the tubes and wake board. Looking for an affordable depth/ fish finder. I’ve been seriously considering some steering fins since the slow speed steering sucks! Thanks for your help. I will take a look at the SX forum

My top 3 mods that I love and would have a hard time doing without:

1. JetBoatPilot Lateral Thrusters
I've learned to use these for all kinds of scenarios, wouldn't have a jet boat without them.
Fins are a big add as well, I went with fins from Cobra Steering, JBP has fins too
but the Lateral Thrusters are the real gold in this steering setup IMO

2. Hydrophase Ridesteady Speed Control

3. Push Button Start/Stop
