Sweet B I'm jealous 
Are you sticking with the polks?
Just going to run all six speakers off that amp. What about a sub?

Yup, staying with the polks. I'm going to run all 6 off this amp. If I decide to add a sub I'll install a mono amp for just the sub. Just can't decide where I'd install a sub.

This seems to be a good spot if it'll fit on your boat. But watch it when a good riff from AC/DC comes on and you crank it up. I got smacked..
You're going to like your LED rings! No need for any other auxiliary interior lights.

That's why I'm unsure where to put the sub. Anything near there and I'd end up in the emergency room sooner or later.

Do you have room under the helm? On my 240 I put my Kicker in the storage area behind the starboard bow seat, but I lost some sound. It would have been better if I would have cut a hole in the fiberglass right under the dash.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
That's where I was thinking. But I wasn't sure how much sound would be lost.

It's not bad at all. It sounds amazing on Blew. And if you happen to be sitting in the bow stargazing it's pretty cool feeling the thump on your back. But I think it's that much better when it's facing you.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
I also like the idea of not having to cut a hole for it.

Nice location. I want to add something to mine next year, not interested in cutting holes. I was wondering how a sub would sound buried under a seat.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
Well my $20 drain plug rgb led already took a crap and I barely used it.lol you get what you pay for. So I emailed the seller let's see what they do. Not that I really care. Maybe I'll drill holes and add real underwater led lights. I doubt it. Hard for me to justify the cost for good lights for that. But I added a blower vent led it looks cool. I still have to do the starboard side it's sealed up so a bit harder to do. Another day project.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
Well, here is my high dollar upgrade.
Since I had the EZ Fold Bimini hardware installed, I thought I would just keep the old mounts instead of having them removed. So I found these nice SS eye bolts on line that will make great fender hangers in the perfect spot.
Also, I have things in the garage almost done..just in time for a long winter.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
That's a good idea. where did you find those that fit in the quick release. I don't have any binimi hardware on this boat but a good idea for others.

Re: What upgrades have you done to your boat?
Not the quick release spot, they are mounted in the old permanent mounts for the rear Bimini supports. The bottom pic was the fixed Bimini, and you can see in the top pic where the old mounts that I used are empty.
It’s really a great spot for the third fender. The eye bolts are small and barely stick out.

Oh I see. Good idea though. Maybe change it to quick release that would be sweet.
