Looking, feeling, sounding, and speeding good X!
Thank you.

Ran out of time obviously, so I never got to make the sub woofer enclosure i wanted. Ended up installing the one that came with the boat back in the engine compartment. It works. Not great location, but the girls liked the seat vibrations. :oops:

Ya. I had mixed feelings back in the day when we installed a subwoofer and my daughter said... “ daddy, this song makes my pee pee tickle.”

I wasn’t sure if that’s a good thing or not. :lol:

Video of the captains call isn’t working.


Great job getting her put, and 62.5 is impressive!

Sounds like a nice little girl, where as my youngest son thinks it’s hilarious to shout “this song makes my nuts vibrate!” when I have guests without kids along for the ride...

I know I'm slacking on the video.

Believe it or not, I just cleaned up my mess at the storage facility today from working on the thing.

LONG...... tiring........ process....... getting....... to...... this...... point........

Still want to address the LED lights built into the speakers.

Picked up some LED bulbs to try out in place of the incandescent. Will report back about those.

Would also like to add some blue LED as well. Looked really cool on the last boat and the GF was always asking m to trun them on for every new passenger.

I will add this. That captains call switch is funny.

I was leaving the dock in stealth mode. All of a sudden I thought my subwoofer blew out. (this was while I was tinkering with the stereo set up still)
It was just my buddy who hit the switch over to thru hull. Scared the crap out of me.

Same buddy loves the speed of the boat (fastest he's ever gone on the water) He didn't put his boat in the water due to mechanical issues this year. He lets me dock my boat in his slip, so I let him drive it. While he was docking it I was trying to communicate with a guy on the dock. I switched the captains call to stealth mode and he panicked. He thought the engine stalled out. :lol:

I totally get it. It's very quiet when through the water. Has a nice rumble when out the back. Actually scared a girl that was eating on the deck while I fired it up with thru hull active. :oops:

What a great week end.....

All the people that haven't been on the boat yet, love it.

They love the speed, they love the killer tunes. Great time had on both days.

Finally my work is paying off.

One odd thing though, my tachometer is starting to act funny. It's reading higher than it should, but will settle back down normal. Idle has shown around 1200 RPM (definitely not idling that high) and will show about 4000 RPM when just cruising.

Odd


Need some help posting a cell phone video. I need a video posting for dummies explanation please.
