OK, so it looks like there is still another month of winter here in Alberta, and I'm going stir crazy so I have decided to do a variety of upgrades on my 08 XLV rather then look at new boats and I need some opinions.
1) Swivel Seat. Saw a few threads on this, and I am definitley going to do it. Biggest question is locking or free swivel type.
2) Underwater LED's. I have seen that a few people have done them. I have extensive wiring and electrical background, so my main question here is how much do I have to spend to get somethign decent that will be noticeable in the water? Will the Bullet lines lights like this be fine: http://www.bulletlines.com/Underwater-Marine-Lights-p/1020.htm
3) Ballast Upgrades. I have a 1050lb in the front and 2 X 750's in the rear all running on the stock pumps and hoses from 2008. What would be the easiest/best/cheapest was to improve the filling speed? There are a lot of threads but after all the different things were tired I was hoping to get the best bang for your buck solution.
4) New Kenwood headunit with bluetooth so we can play all music wirelessly, but still use the existing driver remote. Any thoughts on models?
5) Heated Front seat. Has anyone done it themselves? Was it hard?
6) Hot water shower. Has anyone done it themselves? Was it hard?
7) Prop. Planning on getting the one "You da man" recommended.
Thanks again in advance for all the replies. All this new snow here is killing me. So depressing.
