Greetings all and Happy New Year! Just picked up this 2012 A25 here in Atlanta, GA. Spring can’t get here quickly enough!

Beautiful, love it! I just purchased a used r7 and I can’t wait until next summer and finally getting to use it. Love the tower speakers and the color. Any upgrade or changes you have planned?

Waiting for some quotes on seadek style flooring and considering some snap on curtains. The cover curtains are $2700 so I’m having some trouble stomaching the $$. Plan to store on a lift in a covered slip year round so I’m not sure the skirts all that necessary but they would be nice to have.

Great looking boat! The A series boats are so nice.

What lake will you be boating on? We got our R6 last year and have it on Lanier in a covered slip with a lift. We have the mooring cover, but doesn't cover the side. However, very little, if any sunlight gets to the uncovered portion of the boat, so I'm not sure what benefit the side skirts would have for my use case.

Congrats and happy boating!!

Thanks for the input! We’ve got it on Allatoona bc we live in West Cobb but we plan on making it up to Lanier at least a few times this year.
