Hey people!
I am the proud owner of a 2009 Speedster 150 255hp. I am not new to boating, and not new to this generation of Seadoo products (having owned a 2006 wake 155 in the past) I've got a good handle on the maintenance items and have a mechanic going over it before we head out on the water later in the spring. It does have a recently rebuilt SC and it's been done right. This boat has been well maintained and it looks mint. That being said, there are two items I am likely going to have to address.
The first being the bimini top. The one that it comes with is a 3rd party one. It looks like it's pretty short on the boat. I do not believe I could stand up with it up. It's also the wrong color. I am going to give it a good shot, and make a decision whether or not I am going to use it or not. The previous owner did not use it much at all. From what I can tell, options for replacement bimini tops seem to have a couple of different designs. If you don't mind, anyone that has an aftermarket bimini, chime in and give me your thoughts on it. I would like to know about size and height of it, usefulness, ease of use etc.
The second thing I will likely need to address is the stereo. It has the stock stereo but upgraded speakers. I don't need anything fancy but the lack of bluetooth will be an issue. I could easily add a bluetooth dongle, or use the aux port. Again, anyone that has replaced the stereo, if you could chime in and let me know how you feel about that, I would greatly appreciate it. Here I would like to know about ease of replacement, any gotchas, if you used a marine or auto radio etc.
