They wanna slash like the adults.
Also we are running a pretty meaty wave, so putting my wife on a big board would have her kissing the swim step the whole time.
Plus I am addicted to surfboards. So there’s that.

So I hit up the boat show today to see if they had any deals on any gear for the boat and that was a little bit of a let down but the show was great! Tons of beautiful boats! Rinker’s had their blue/black SE550 out there and it has the 20% ceramic tint on it and it was sick!!! I hopped in it and I was really surprised at the visibility from the inside considering how dark it looks from the outside but like you said it was awesome! I asked our sales person to have it done once the boat shows up!! It will be cool to see how it looks with all the black!Quote:

Oh man, we probly passed each other a few times, I was there all day with my wife a brother and a pilot buddy who put a deposit down with will and Chris on a sea hunt 27’.
It was a fun show, but I agree, the show was a little slow this year for toys. M2 got their own booth this year. I hung out with Bryce for a while, but I didn’t come across anything I really couldn’t live without. I was hoping to find a shore spike before I ordered one on amazon
I am sure we passed each other a few times as we were all over that place yesterday. That is awesome about your buddy! Rinker's setup was really nice!!Quote:

Ya if they didn’t have the Raspberry Metal Flake I would have gone with the Ultra Blue it is a sweet color!!Quote:

Ya pictures never do these metal flakes much justice but they are purty in person for sure!! Both the Ultra Blue Metal Flake and the Brittany Blue Metal Flake look awesome in person and since we are talking about it I have to mention that the Silver Metal Flake is also really sweet in person too! If it hadn't been for the Raspberry Metal Flake and Raspberry Trex coming to the Moomba line this year I would have had a heck of a time deciding on a Flake Color! LOLQuote:

So you're in Hockley? I just moved my boat out of a storage facility in Hockley off of Zube Rd.
Ill have to see that when I do! Ya I know exactly where you are. That is a long way from Katy (depending on where you are). I actually keep my fishing boat in a storage place in Cypress that is owned by the same guy and I just got another stall for this boat when it shows up. Technically I am in Hockley but I am basically Cypress as we are just on the west side of 99.
It takes us about 30 minutes to get there from my house going down Katy Hockley/Roberts Rd. I am north if 10 in Old Town Katy so its not like I am way out buried in Katy wannabe Cinco Ranch land (RC). All the lakes we go to are that direction so its not too bad, just pick it up on the way out.Quote:

Come up to Conroe... lol way cheaper and less people. Plus, you’re closer to the lake! And let’s be honest, that’s priority 1 right there!

Nice! Both of those areas are great as I am sure you already know! And really if you don't mind a little drive and some tolls Exxon isn't bad to get to from Katy as well with 99.Quote:

Conroe schools definitely are great too. But my bar is incredibly low graduating from Huntsville... lol
Speaking to choir. Apparently Montgomery schools and even Magnolia schools have like the same start rating at the woodland and college park, but the latter have blue ribbons and the other doesn’t? I think it’s silly to split hairs like that but I’m not having much luck with my argument. Now Walden is a long drive from 242 and 45 (the nearest Methodist hospital) so I can see that being a deterrent.Quote:

Ya it definitely has some nice touches that made us make the jump. I don’t know if I ever mentioned but we were originally looking at a Mojo. It is a crazy story how we ended up at the Makai but the size for us was a huge draw on top of other things.
I hadn’t compared the tower height but I did think that that if I wanted to add another set of speakers it would be a tight squeeze.

One set of Rev10 will blow your brains out. I don’t think you want for more. If you want to do anything just give them more power.Quote:

Good to know. I never really cranked up the system during the demo.
Is it true that there is a break in for the audio? (Full disclosure I am not a stereo head meaning I don’t know much about them but I do love when they sound good!)

I could not speak to you anything regarding a break in. But a pair of REV10 will blast your face off with enough powerQuote:

Can you ever have too many Rev10's???:-D
Attachment 27910
Previous owner had stereo built... and I am back to 2 Rev 10's with 2 Stealth Bars... its all about the amp(s). Get it tuned correctly, and 2 Rev10's are plenty... a surf pipe REALLY helps instead of fighting the exhaust note.
That is soo awesome! I saw your posts from when you bought the boat and I saw you had quite a few Rev 10s up for sale a little while back hahaha.
Do most dealers do a good job tuning these or is it a job for a mobile audio shop?
I did spec the boat with the surf pipe so I am looking forward to seeing how it sounds compared to the demo which didn’t have one.

I would just ask them bluntly... The dealer thats closest to me (3.5hrs away) are audio guys - BIG custom systems. When I asked him to send me a list of what they would build (I was looking at a max at the time), it was legit equipment ... and legit cost :)Quote:

No, I would say most* dealers don’t gave a clue what they’re doing unless they have an audio shop also. I’d be willing to bet most of them don’t even check anything other than if all the speakers work. My SA had gains all over the place when it was delivered.
But tuning is super easy, no need to pay a shop unless you’re just truly a no wrench kind of person lol.
Just pull all the amp side RCA’s, leave 1set at a time plugged in, put the head unit at about 75-80% max volume, and adjust the gain until you hear distortion. Then back it off a bit til you don’t. Then unplug that set and move on to the next set etc... then plug them all in and test it all together.
Also, adjust your crossovers while you’re in there. Once you get the gains set, play with the crossovers.
My Makai sub was weak at the outset. Had to bump that gain to match and from there it’s been all good.
The Fusion head unit is dead simple and I really like it coming from my integrated system on my 2016 Supra. It has a KNOB! How novel! [emoji1787]

If I am being honest I have never messed with stereos or amps but I really enjoy wrenching on things. I will have to do some research on tuning it.Quote:

First thing i did was swap it for 0 gauge to a 4 gauge terminal block.
Maybe the Makai is different but I would take a look. I imagine this could cause amps to be underpowered.

I don’t mind trying it my self and learning something in the process, but that sounds like a good option too. Is it pricey to have done?Quote:

Not sure on the price for a stand alone tune, might wanna give'em a call. They did mine as part of my install but it made a world of difference.Quote:
