Hello

I am picking up a used 2017 Getaway will be buying wings for it. I notice that the dealers show different wings for 2017 and later. I understand that the trampoline cover material is now grey, but what are the other differences?

Thanks, Jason

The 2017 and newer Getaway (reverse bow) has slightly different dimensions between the front and rear crossbars, so the wings are different lengths.

We also redesigned the seat. The seat used to be a single extrusion. We now use two different shapes to create the same look, but the seat is softer now. You sit on suspended fabric instead of on the hard aluminum flat it used to be. The bar is also padded.

Can I put them on a 2012? I can do modifications!

We make a set for the older boats. Same new design.

2 left of the original design:

37001000 WING SET GETAWAY W/TURQ COVER
US$ 1263.00

New suspended mesh design for older models:

37001020 GTWY SUS MESH WING ASSY, TURQ
US$ 1364.00

This shows the underside of the suspended mesh design, gray covers, but the above SKU is Turquoise to match older boats.
