Some of you may remember that I was asking around a little about a month ago regarding the pros/cons of an SS style boat. Well, we have decided to make the jump! Didn't want to jinx things too much, but since it is 99% a done deal I couldn't hold it in any longer. We will be selling our H180 this weekend and hopefully picking up our new (to us
) 2008 H200SS a couple weeks later. We are so very excited to be upgrading to a slightly larger boat, but also one that should never be underpowered since it even has the optional 5.7 L VP engine/drive combo. The boat is in immaculate condition and only has ~60 hours on it. Thanks again to everyone for their opinions and also for the years of knowledge and experience contained in these forums, it REALLY helped the Admiral and I make an informed decision. I know it's not yours until you post pics, and well it's really not even ours yet... but here are some pics anyways 
So, it will be another month or so before we can really even think about getting on the water. That's alright, gives me some time to get some stuff done around the house and start thinking of some mods that I might want to do with the boat. First up, assess the tunes situation. I'll have to spend some time on the forum looking at transom remote install and determining if the stock speakers are anywhere near as nice sounding as the DB651's I pulled out of the old boat. I am assuming they won't be, at that the Polk's will really pound hooked up to the Kicker amp that is already installed on the SS.
Saw your post about upgrading... you guys sound like your going through many of the same feelings we had, except we were never considering a 23 or 24 footer! We are still not sure how we are going to store the boat, it will likely fit in the garage... but then both the admiral and my cars will be outside. Got a quote from summer fun marine in Pewaukee (
