New boat came in!

#1 Post by BG1 » Sun Nov 19, 2017 5:51 am

Coming from an open bow Yamaha Jet Boat we ordered a 2018 Black Cherry Sweetwater 2186.
Upgraded the toons to 25", added lifting strakes, tilt wheel with extreme steering, upgraded upholstery, flooring, and captains chair, and upgraded to the Polk stereo. We ordered it with the midnight package - rails, Bimini frame, skirt, rub rail, and ladder are all anodized black.
We put a Mercury 90 on it and ordered 3 pair of EzFenders.
There were other brands we liked also but ultimately this is the Marina/Dealer we have have always used and trusted. We got to see it for 5 minutes before it was shrinkwrapped. It will be a long wait until spring.....
It should be set up nicely for our 950 acre lake.
I've learned a lot about pontoons reading this site. Thanks much!

Congratulations on your new Boat! Sounds great! I’m taking mine on our maiden voyage in a couple hours. Not sure I’ll get out any more until spring, but we’ll see. It will be tough for you to wait.

Any pics?

Sounds like a super nice boat! Can't wait to see pics! And thanks for your EzFender order, Brent! First accessory for another new boat, you'll love them! Thanks again!

Thanks all. I'm hoping Gail snapped a pic in the couple minutes we saw it. if she has one I'll put it up.

Bryan - great service and a well engineered product. Worth more than you charge! Is it ok if I point our Marina in your direction?

Sounds like a great boat. I've had my 2017 Sweetwater 2286 WB for a couple of months now and love it. It's similar with the black rails, skirt, canvas and the slate interior with the gray and black vinyl "teak" flooring. 25" Tritoon and the other options you listed, plus a couple more. I don't have the black rub rails or ladder, but I've already gotten several compliments on the color combination and I'm sure you will to.

What exactly is the "extreme steering"?

I wanted the tilt steering and extreme steering came with it. To tell you the truth I have no clue what it means! I'm sure we are going to enjoy it.

As soon as it comes out of hibernation I'll install them and get you the pictures. The easy height adjustment should come in handy rated up at the sandbar & tied up to the dock at our favorite tiki bar!
