Got more interior pics of stereo system? Love the setup. Amazing you fit it all in. Does everything work on the boat?

Prices and good photos sell boats. You need to work on your ad.

I've got my small digital 4 channel in my electronics box currently. About the size of a single DIN car stereo and mounted to the top of the box that houses it. But the amp I want to get is 20" long! So long and skinny. Anyone have pics of where they mounted a big(ish) amp or amps on their Grady...

Awesome work. Fiberglass projects interest me. Love how you're using foam to make complex shapes. So what kind of plastic do you cover the foam with. Would it protect it from Polyester resin or just epoxy?

Only posting to tell you my experience over 15 years of boat ownership (6 boats). Not saying you should do this. I'm in Washington State, we have a pretty temperate but damp climate. I've usually stored my tank at whatever level it was on the last outing. I know not ideal but I've checked the...

Well he's very skilled in design as well because the lines match perfectly.

Love that pilothouse. What’s the story behind that? Make it yourself or a local guy? Fingers crossed he made a mold! :)

Group 24 has been ok so far but I’ve notice the downriggers slow down after a long fishing weekend with stereo/amp loud. I only use15 lb balls. Im sure bigger is better. All my battery wires are custom lengths so if I go to a bigger battery for house loads I’ll have to make more.

As others have said, sure you could put one in but, you'd need to drill a bigger hole in the side of your boat. My rear is 2000 gph and it shoots water 8' sideways when on.

I use progressive but haven't had any experience with claims or other insurers. They do allow a "stated value" which I use. It's at $35k from 2019 I'd need to pay $45k to get the same boat out here if I could find one.

Buy a used Marlin that already has a slip in your area. 2 problems solved for the right boat. There's a smaller market for used 30' boats vs trailable 22' boats. You're going to get a great deal over what they cost new! Assuming you can find one. Now the fun part, looking! I envy you, keep us...

Not really in order. I should say doing a DIY motor swap to a used fourstroke but that's a no brainer and more than a 'mod'. - Similar to Skunkboat, - Reconfiguring batteries to have a dedicated house battery, moved both to port side, Added a VSR switch so I'll never run down my start battery...

What are your Top 3 favorite boat mods or additions you've made and why do you like them so much? Bonus points for photos!

Move to the Keys? Buy a Pilothouse boat? Diesel heater?

Nice, I did the same after I bought my boat. Added an ACR (love it) and moved both Group 24 batters to port to balance out 120 lb kicker. Did you use the Blue Sea Terminal fuses they ask for on your ACR? I've blown 2, thinking of switching to a circuit breaker. 100 amp. Good project, well worth it.

Awesome trip report! Thanks for taking the time to post. I've had 2 boats shipped east to west but always wondered how it would be and how much it would cost to drive it myself. I paid $3500 for my 228 Seafarer in Nov. 2019 to go from Richmond Virgina to Seattle, WA. Let me tell you it was nerve...

Never seen a Boomer sub but I can tell you our ferries have a prop at each end. So they don't turn around. They use the front prop as the brakes, which is the wash you see in the front. I'm pretty sure the ferry could have stopped if he wanted to but he had the right of way. Amazing how tough...

Found a pic of the old rear speakers. These couldn't handle an amp so took them out. Front 2 sets are still in there. SKAR audio replacements but the same holes in the hardtop were used... luckily. Those box speakers are really easy to mount! Not much room in the hardtop when you open the...

I flush mounted the electrical outlets and am happy with the location. Easy to find, never in the way. clean look.
