I really like the case design and paint match panels too, it really brings the package together. I went down to look at the boat today in person and was impressed. The dealer was saying, no specific break in required either. I also like the winterizing (fogging) feature not that it's a real big real to do but doing it from the throttle beats pulling the cover and plugs, etc. Can't wait to get the boat home and get it wet. The weather's gotta cooperate some though!!
    Sounds good Bro!

    Keep us posted, you can even PM me anytime you like. I'm glad to hear you got the 10 yr warranty, how can anyone beat that. Granted there are a couple little things that haters will point out like a $50 deductible after 3 years... and that's only IF there is a problem.

    No break in, take it out and Let 'er eat! They like to run! The self winterization is a beautiful thing, you can do it in your driveway w/ a garden hose or from the water on your last outing.

    I will say that the boat that I came out of (PT175 w/ a Merc 60HP) gave me zero problems for the 10 years that I had her and she caught me lots-o fish, so I am hoping and praying for the same w/ the RT and G2, and I predict that it will be another good experience.

    Best of luck and congrats on finding such a sweet deal. Keep us posted...

    I didn't add the Hot Foot. I've never had one so don't feel like I'll miss it. I would like to know more about the premium control though. I'll PM you an image of the dash. I looked at the tach and all it has are the warning lights in the bottom of the gauge and not sure if this means the engine info is from NMEA or direct wired.

    No problems, I do like the foot pedal personally. From the photo is does have the premium control box and my guess would be BCB would fit generic gauges. With the premium c/box you can add that RPM tune I mentioned and it is not that expensive either-down here in our dollars it is around $150 from memory.

    Looks like a System check tach to me. Not an ICON gauge.

    Yes aftermarket basic gauge. You will not be able to do anything like turn I-trim on/off or change steering inputs if it does not come with an ICON gauge like the 3.5cs or larger.

    I'm trying to find out the cost to add the 3.5. Thanks
