About
It taken a lot of hours, and a lot of beer, to get this boat in the condition it's in now. I didn't expect it to be this much work, but that's what I get for buying a boat while it's snowing. If I could have had a test drive I might have offered less, but I still bought if for less than book when every other boat I looked at was going for 25% MORE than book value! The wiring was a mess, way too many quick splice connections and wires hanging out. It was kinda dirty and just in general starting to fall apart. I've rewired most of the dash. Hooked the shower back up. Deep cleaned the interior. Replaced the bow light. I had to replace the original swith panel with a custom one to accomodate the extra accessories. Another custom panel to go around the radio cover to add strength 'cause the wood behind the dash was cracked and wouldn't support the radio. I had to make the speaker openings bigger 'cause a 6.5" speaker just won't fit a 5" speaker hole! I mounted the shower control behind the speaker panel instead of dangling out on the floor like I found it. Replaced all the air ducting, the blower, the bilge pump, the battery, the pitot tubes, and the fuel filter. Added a subwoofer and 2000 watt amp to run all 5 speakers! I updated the trailer with LED trailer lights and new wiring.
