Hey everyone, picked up a 2021 252s last Friday. I grew up on I/os but this is my first jet boat. The family and I have been out 4 times so far. Really enjoying the boat. I really want to do some tower speakers but retain the stock radio set up. I’ll be exploring that a bit and will let you all know what I come up with. Or if you have a solution I’d love to hear it!
 
Congrats on the boat. I bought the same model and have about 10 hours so far and love it. Time for oil change. Did you get the blue one?

:Welcome:
Congrats on the boat.
The main reason to install tower speakers is to pump sound out to those doing watersports behind the boat. The only way to make it audible to those having fun is to amp up the volume, so if that's your goal you will definitely need decent tower speakers and a solid amp to get the sound out. Lots of threads on the forum about doing that. Have at it.

PS - pics or it didn't happen.
:D
 
Love the grey, great looking boat.

Ah, there is another way to make the tower speaker louder without an amp. Turn them around and point them towards the bow. I mounted mine on swivels and that's what I did. But I do agree on the amp. I did both.

Sure that works for in-boat use...but it won't be very loud without an amp as the head unit would require series wiring dropping the speaker power in half. Can't see anyone being happy with that anywhere but a very quiet cove while reading a book.
:D
 
Awesome...everyone is buying up the 252's. I bought a 212 and thought this s*** is way too big. Now I feel like a kayat with all you big boys. Dang
 
25 Footers are like a 4 bedroom house - buy the 4th bedroom even if you don't need it for resale value ?

Pretty difficult to find indoor storage for a 4-bedroom home. Plus, you need damn near a tractor trailer to tow it. I'm happy with my kayak
 
? Hardly a kayak.... but yeah I get it - had to upgrade my tow vehicle to pull the 25. Indoor storage I have so no issues there - I am sure the story is different in SF.

Actually tow vehicle does great. Just can’t pass a gas station ha. I’m pretty disappointed with the mileage on my Expedition but it pulls it great!

I live in the Delta region of NorCal. There are thousands of boats that are in slips and indoor storage facilities. There are waiting lists everywhere. I got lucky and found one because someone vacated unexpectedly. I am #40 on a wsiting list for a facility closer to my home. They said no one has come off the eaiting list in 5 years. CA is crazy for storage
