Well, it's a done deal (pics included)

Post by jasondon »

Officially ours.
2012 242 with the 8.2HO & Captains Call exhaust, 160 hours.
First pic is after the polish :-)

I just had the outside power polished and the interior is getting detailed this week.
Service I'm getting completed: engine oil and leg oil changed, fuel filters, impeller, and gimbal bearing replaced.
I am having the shop check the spark plugs and coolant to see if they have been changed (I don't have the full service history). I have to check how old the batteries are.

Is there anything else I should be checking??

Lookin’ good JD!

Congratulations on the delivery of your (new to you) baby. :D

Bellow check is in there I’m sure if you’re having the gimbal bearing checked.

Now get your playlist ready to crank on the water while wake boarding. 👍🏻 8-)

Looks great. I like to clean my throttle body. Props get pulled and lube the splines.

I'd go with the full tuneup (which I think is not more than changing the plugs and checking the settings. In addition, change the serpentine belt (if it goes everything goes) if it is original it's 7 years old.

I sent you one just like that. You said for your neighbor. I didn't know it was your neighbor in another country. Loo

I'm assuming your looking at the tags.

Regardless this is like the exact same rig. CC and all.

Thanks for the compliments and tips!

In order to get on the water it is going to have to warm up at some point...hoping for mid May.
