Sweet! Nice looking boat.
The Blue Angels are stationed out of Pensacola (50 miles to my west). They have an air show scheduled for July and we are taking the boat this year. Tons of people go on their boats, but obviously parking is not an issued.

It must be national "buy your first boat weekend", LOL
I already posted in the General forum, but here are some more photos from my new Yamaha SX190.
We watched the Memorial Day air show at Jones Beach from the boat.

Congrats!!! I like that they changed up the graphics. Where did you launch from? I was at the air show on Saturday at Zach's Bay.

We launched at Point Lookout. Took a brief peek into the open ocean but it was too windy so we turned back and went towards Zach's Bay - actually anchored down on the west side of the causeway.

Nice looking boat. I too am interested in buying an SX 190. What accessories did you add and are there any you wish you had added?It must be national "buy your first boat weekend", LOL

I added a Garmin 44DV fish finder/depth meter/chart plotter/GPS combo, I had the dealer install it before delivery.
Not much else, other than a few portable goodies like a cooler, portable camping shower, and a Spot Messenger 3 satellite emergency beacon which I wear on my body in case I fall overboard.
What I wish I had added is a better stereo, because the included basic Clarion sucks, and the speakers suck too. They are OK when you are anchoring, but with the engine running you can't hear them.
On my wish list: a tube, or something towable, maybe an onboard VHF radio (not necessary though), a Clarion stereo with the floating wireless remote, and a portable table to eat.
