This was a light year for me as far as upgrades go compared to other years.
I installed new shurflo SW washdown pumps and livewell pumps, but did not get pictures of the job, it was too hot out and dark to get pictures.
A new ACR Globalfix Pro EPIRB this year, it was time to upgrade to an EPIRB with GPS built in.
I added 2 lee rod holders in the transom. Not sure how we functioned without them.
The boat needed a new stereo system...the old one was outdated and well..nothing worked!!
New Alpine head unit and Ipod interface: (Also have a wireless digital Alpine control at the helm but I do not have any pictures of it at the moment)
I figured we would go all out, so I added a JL Audio M2250 Amp in the Cabin to push the cockpit speakers. Amp is connected to the head unit using Monster Cable Audio Wires:
JL Audio M650 speakers in the cockpit:
The new sound system is light years above our stock Kenwood and sound quality on the JL speakers blows out the upgraded infinity speakers that were previously installed. If you want good sound quality, go with JL Audio!! The bass from these speakers is amazing and this amp pushes these speakers perfectly. The Alpine head unit has a lot more control over the sound and is a lot more crisp and clear the our stock Kenwood.
The old windlass went, so we replaced it with a Lewmar Pro Sport 550:
The offshore setup...
It's taken me 2.5 years to piece together, but its finally complete...well..for now!!!
