Very easy and inexpensive for those of you that are a little handy...  Got 100 of each color for $10 each on amazon.  They come with the resister needed just have to solder together.  I have 4 lights per cup wired in series/parallel. 

I miss Lake Havasu and the bridge!  Im looking at the Fusion 650 or 750. Both have multiple zone control. The issue is how to mount speakers to get the sound outside the boat. Im taking the boat to a local shop that specializes in aftermarket towers and stereo installs.  Im sure they can come up...

Gotta have shade... My wife is Caspers sister 

Im not sure I would even want to use the arch to pull anything. More going for the look and ability to add speakers.

In my quest to upgrade my stereo and get more sound outside the boat to people swimming I'm at a loss.  The only way to accomplish this is put in a Derrick sized stereo and just crank the hell of out it ( an provide ear plugs for those still on the boat ) or add speakers that point outside...

I have a 2275 GCW with a 150 Yamaha on it and couldn't imagine having less power.  I do have the ESP package though, what toon setup does this boat have?  

I can't find the fuse size or amp draw spec for this amp.  Does anyone know the answer to that question?

TOONBRITE!  Its is the best stuff ever.  Takes everything off with no effort from you.  If you can us a spray bottle and hose you can make your toons and transom look brand new.

So I've got the boat out of the water for its annual service and deep cleaning.  Im looking into doing a serious upgrade to my stereo system and need a little help.  Im leaning towards a JL Audio system with a Fusion head unit. I plan on adding the JL Audio M800/8v2 amp, custom enclosure for a...

I have a 2275 GCW ESP rated for 14 people and 250HP  that i bought used. I currently have a 150 yam on it with just over 200 hours and regularly load it with 10+ mixed adults and kids. Can cruise comfortably 15-20 mph within the 4000rpm range loaded this way. A bigger engine would just cost me...

Lake Lanier Has fluctuated a bit the last few weeks but that is normal this time of year.  We are still over 1000' at it deepest point.  My slip is currently 54' in depth. There are many hazards to watch out for but in my cruising on the lake this season the average depth i see is 80'+ 

TRIM??????  Where are the people sitting?  Are you trimming the motor up when loaded?  When its just my wife and I get my best performance trimmed almost all the way down. This last weekend with 14 people on I trimmed 3/4 way up to get best RPM/Speed performance.  

So adding the 2 extra speakers really didn't do much good then.  With half the power from the head unit no wonder they sound so AWESOME!  Guess I will waiting till winter for sure before I do any upgrades. I may do a little investigating. If the helm speaker and side panel speakers are the first...

My last boat was a 74 19' hallett jet boat with a 496 Big block chevy... Mechanical fuel injection and 950 HP.  I didn't even have an alternator  LOL  3 Big batteries. No stereo, only starter, lights and MSD Ignition.

I don't know how much easier it could be to wire this thing then during construction!!!  Lazy if you ask me.  For what they charge 6 speaker models should get proper wiring and extra amp/amps if needed to do it properly.  Just my 2 cents
