YES, the website is tricky and will let you add items already included. I started with a stock boat and documented all the details from the last tab that lists standards, as each model is different. Also check out the various information areas of the website, here is the one that specifies the...

I suggest - Pros of the larger tank: Less fill-ups (important on a large lake) / no mid-day fill-ups if doing a lot of WOT / Water Sports; can optimize use of lower cost Marinas; Resale value; Secondary fuel storage when not in use. Con's: Heavy which would decrease speed and MPG.

Build a similar unit on the Bennington build site, it will provide you a reasonable approximation. You may have to determine the weight of the engine separately. You could then poke around trailer sites and cobble the info together.

Nice! Did you have a custom enclosure built?

SeadooRXGuy - thank you for all this additional information, details and links - VERY helpful!

My 2021 has the speaker, cupholder, side, and underwater lighting all controlled by the same RGB controller knob.

Bimini Water: I would conclude the bimini frame is not adjusted to tighten up the canvas enough. I have to use a rubber mallot to get the right tension, just a few small taps but enough to make a big difference. A water repellent on the boot might also help, especially around the seems.

I don't believe the pontoons come with plugs? My center toon with storage gets wet from occupants, rain, and spilled drinks. Most of it drains out to the back (from the storage section, into the fuel section, out with the bilge). When not using and covered, I leave the storage door open.

No - I have read that an AMP install makes a huge difference. Then adding a moderate Sub is the next update. After that, it is a complete speaker and wire replacement - that gets really pricey and if done right, then you need a big or multiple amps. I don't much extra room for a Sub - so...

Search "List your specs here" , title only - might find something there.

I have seen a few more articles - one was interesting in that he crossed Lake Michigan at a time with almost no waves, apparently a rare occurrence. Seems he had some good Karma on his side!

Reposted: A 71 year old achieved this, beating the prior record by 8 hours and 50 minutes! Started at Pensacola, Florida on July 12th. 12 to 14 hours of steering per day.! Congratulations Robert!

I wired one with heavy duty wire to run pumps and Xmas Lights.

KingBoard, easy to cut and customize, and for drinks you can drill holes for wine or cups to ensure no spill. Something like this from boat outfitters:

Expanded: With the new LifePo’s in, I am feeling confident that I now have enough power to up the performance of my Tunes. At this point, I am only looking to ad an amp and sub. Speakers – for another budget season…. Questions on adding an Amp/Sub: Consensus Acknowledged: JL or WetSounds is...
