My wife and I picked up our new boat today. If you recall, in a few other threads. we ordered a 242 Limited S e-series but the e-series Bimini structure did not work for us so we swapped it out for a non e-series tower. The change took a little bit as the e tower has wires running down both sides of it and the non is just on one side so they needed to re-route some wires to make everything work. It came out great!

Now we have all the e-series options except for the solar panels and the bikini structure.

Can't wait to do the maiden voyage! Bring on some warm weather.

 
Beautiful boat. What was your issue with the new bimini? Storage?
 
We are on a chain of lakes and to get through we need to fold the tower. That, and we just didn't like it.
 
Tell us more about this "bikini structure." :p

Just kidding. Congratulations, she's a beauty.
 
That's awesome. Beautiful boat, congrats on taking delivery.

Ps, I'm envious of your high ceiling garage too.

Thank you all for the comment. We cant wait to get her out. Maybe in about 3-4 weeks. In the mean time, I am sure I will be looking at some mods. Not sure yet, but some tower racks and speakers might be in the picture.

How much did it cost?? I love the Eseries and looking at one of the 2016 models but hate the Tower. I would love to do what you have done here.
 
Congrats and she looks beautiful!!!

So this was built into the price of the boat. The dealer reduced the price about $3000 off agreed purchase price.
 
Great boat. Congrats. Love the red/black
