[badasshybrid]

I bought this boat as my first inboard boat I have ever owned. When I brought it home I saw several things I wasnt happy with so I started making the changes. Everything I have done to it I found out how from this site and from a couple members here.

New shaft packing and new hardware

New Alpine MC-10 wireless remote
New JL Audio power wire and remote wire
New JL Audio RCAs
2 New JL Audio distribution blocks
New JL Audio master fuse block
New speaker wire ran inside tower (had junk speakers on tower with wire taped to the outside of tower)
New Stoltz bow stop
New Stoltz keel roller (easy to remove bolt and polyloc nut)
New keel pads with recessed bolts and nuts (lag bolts through to wood suck)
New Liquid Trends box painted to match the boat (with MOOMBA sticker my daughter designed & made)

New blower hose throughout the boat
New BassPro XPS i series 2 bank charger and plug in the dash
New red and white LED trailer runway lights that I build
New red LED lights inside the boat that I build
New white LED lights in the compartments that I build

New sticker and numbers all over (some my daughter designed & made)


Only other thing I can think of that I might do next year:

Nice work and upgrades.

how do you like the alpine HU?

[badasshybrid]

Nice work and upgrades.

how do you like the alpine HU?

Thanks

The Alpine is very nice and easy to use. I have an Ipod on it and you just scroll right through the lists from the deck or the remote on the transom.

[zabooda]

Very nice upgrades. My '98 has some potential after all. I'll need to talk to you when I start doing mods as I like everything you did.

[02Outback]

What Tower Cover is that? I'm looking for something like that instead of the stock bimini.

Thanks. No problem, just get with me and I will help you if I can.

I really dont know, I thought it was factory. I have seen a couple other boats around the same year with the exact same top on theirs.

Nice Job on the upgrades and personalization :)

I'd like to know on the Bimini as well. I'm pretty sure the Z5 won't fit the outback rad-a-cage but it looks very similiar. Let me know if you ever find out!

[zabooda]

The bimini was stock on my 98 as well. A real nice feature.

[02Outback]

Bimini:
Anybody know where I can get one?

[jjerrod]

do you worry about your amps getting wet there on the floor. I thought about putting mine there.

[David Davidson]

jjerrod - I use that as my dry compartment... I have never gotten anything wet that was stored under the seat.

Where did you get the board racks at? I have been looking all over for the oval mount racks and can't find any.

[outback98]

Great work man!! I love the mods you did.

Thanks! I looked at the bimini and there is not any name or anything on it to tell were its from. I looked at the paperwork and it came on the boat when it was bought new.

I have no idea.

Na I dont worry about it, I wanted them in the compartment with the batteries but there is no room left in there. It has stayed dry under that seat so far. I went for the first time this year Tuesday and ran into some heavy rain on the way there, checked under the seat when I got there and it was still dry.

Ya it has stayed dry so far. The board racks came on the boat. I have seen them on ebay pretty cheap. I would like to have 1 more to put my keeboard in.


Great work man!! I love the mods you did.

Thanks!

the shop vac is great! i can honestly say i have never seen a vac in a boat.

Thanks, thats prob the best mod I did IMO. I have a 3 man tube thats over 100" wide. I have tried several diff pumps to blow that thing up without having to wait 10 mins. Some of the pumps I used were extremly slow, they would not air the tube up tight, they were cheaply made, and a couple cost close to 100.00. Thought I would give the vac a try and I love it. It has more than enough power to air it up all the way, takes about 20 secounds to do the tube and 3 seats, and I can deflate it as well. Plus if someone makes a mess I can get it up with no problem. I also added 12' more of hose so I could strech it all over the boat. I stand on the platform and air the tube up with no problem at all.

Where did you get the MOOMBA graphics? Do you know the width x height?
