Today and yesterday we cleaned up the boat, and I installed a new radio...the factory Sony headunit was so damaged and had so many drinks spilled on it that it didn't even display anything anymore, so the new unit is a very nice upgrade

Old vs New:



Installed:




We also detailed the boat head to toe, and it's ready for the water tomorrow



Can't wait to have some fun tomorrow!

    Speaking from personal experience that prob won't be the last deck you buy. I'm on my second one now. It is in a poor location AND that cover is sub par. I replaced that cover with a JVC cover that has a bit more protection. Ultimately it would be ideal to put in something like a Fusion head unit. They are actually water proof. Some day....
    Enjoy your weekend!

    Its not you that you have to watch out for. My girlfriend has friends that come out. Later in the day they tend to get rather clumsy. Things get spilled. Now they have their own sippy cups so I don't have to baby sit their beverages.

    LOL How does that happen?! Also its the moist environment that will kill em too... I came out yesterday and today to find, not unusual, dew all over the boat. I keep it under cover in the dock but water is a funny thing...

    Wife and I already decided that we are not inviting friends who can't control themselves on the boat. Too expensive of a toy to let idiots ruin it!

    In Arizona we don't have much moisture/humidity in the air. The boat is stored in dry rack storage, so don't have to worry about any of that

    Same here. Why I went with a $150 deck and not the 400$ setup.
