Average Joe,

Morgan City is only about 30 Miles from where I live, what you heading down this way for??

Could that be the generator cooling water outlet?

BTW, the bilge is a specific part of a vessel. The bilge "pump" serves to dewater the bilge. :D

New 305...

Beautiful boat... you will love it. Don't want to be a spoil sport but I would elevate that GPS Ant before thw Radar burns it up.

Gorgeous! :D

I'll bet you will get lots of inquiries about those rod holders. Are they a custom job to get them low enough to reach?

Ditto on the GPS sensors. Get them on SS extensions so they are out of the radar beam. Otherwise you will get GPS dropouts and loss of position.
Check the pix section to see how mine were done.

Radar

Thanks for the heads up on the radar beam burning the GPS sensor issue guys, I had no clue about this and will address the problem. No Mega actually the rod holders are all Grady White factory installed. I am very impressed with the boat and of the great job my dealer has done. Thanks to everyone on here who has helped me through the process and all of the bonehead questions I am sure I have asked many of you. You have all been a great help to me and I appreciate it to the utmost extent!!

Interesting. I didn't realize GW offered a rocket launcher option. It appears from the pix they have dropped it down low enough to reach. Wonder if they will offer a version on the 330.
