get yer plasti dip on!

gonna be tuff to do your rubrail to match :) ha ha
Heater after the custom box is built? I'd be nervous that the heater needs to go where the box is built.
My heater is on the observer side. I am sure AWS will work around all the stereo stuff. And, there is a lot of stereo stuff!!!!
When speaking to AWS about the heater, it was there idea to do all the stereo stuff first. I had mentioned i really didn't like the vents in the walk threw, because only the driver and observer can use them. So what my plan is, i think I'm going to mount the heater right behind the drivers seat in the storage bay, so its opposite of the battery storage. This way the vents will reach everyone in the main cabin all the time.
As Boonejeepin mentioned there is a lot of stereo gear, but this boat is so big, it doesn't look crowded. Just dropped her off at King Pin today. They went over the design and type of enclosure.
They are going to build a fiberglass down fire box with a panel in front to enclose the area. Should look real sweet. Honestly due to all the cables in the floor, the box wont be as fare back as i wanted but it should still be fine. I am sacrificing a little more foot room, about 4 inches more then i wanted but with the new captains area and the seat being installed farther away from the dash then the LSV it should still feel larger then the LSV's foot area on Fierah did.
Also working on a custom battery enclosure to cover my now installed 6v golf cart batteries that will power the new stereo all day with no issues.
HAHA yea but I'm going to leave it chrome and white. I think im done with Plasti Dip for now. I learned a lot doing it, good things and bad things. Once the boat is all done ill post all the pictures and a write up on the plasti dip for the letters.
I think a lot of people will be doing it.
At AWS today i showed both the General Manager and Sales Manager the pictures and they were stoked, and had a lot of questions on how i did it, do and dont's.
Give company some pictures and they are leaked out LOL. Exile Posted these pics i took yesterday.

hells to the yes on the tint ... lookin good
I dont post much, but that boat is SICK. I can only imagine what it sounds like. Love the tower. Nice Set Up.
How hard was it to remove and restick the large chrome Moomba letters?
Picked up the boat from the shop yesterday to make the drive to Seattle. Went to see Cory with Evolution Covers to get Bestia fitted for her new cover.
As most days start with the boat. Fuel. thats 4.25 a Gallon for you southern boys, fuel isnt cheap in the PNW.

Then hooked up and rolling out.

Arriving at Evolution Covers.
http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps97c78fec.jpg
Cory is a really nice easy going guy to deal with. I got to watch him measure the boat. I was really cool to see how he does it. I would have never thought to make patterns out of plastic like he does.
Then he showed me his shop and several new materials he is working with.
Then.. Moombadaze became the choice of topics LOL.
I didn't think to take pictures still he was measuring the back of the boat. Me and him were busy talking Exile and Wetsounds, seriously LOL.

My Evolution cover for my Z3 arrives today! Had one on my LSV and it was great.
Will his pattern work for others with the Mojo? Or does your tower require a special fit?
Yes everyone with a Mojo will benefit from my trip to Evolution Covers.
I told Cory i will check at AWS on their Mojo for the tower foot length and height. My tower sits in the same location as the factory i just don't know of the mounting base is the same size. I will verify that but it wont matter too much because Cory uses a stretch boot at the tower feet.
But in short, anyone with a Mojo that wants an Evolution Cover, Cory now has the measurement to make them.
Moombadaze, No i didn't see your cover but i think i recall hearing it will be done this week. Its on his list. I didn't even ask about yours, he was like "Mike you know Moombadaze? I think that's his screen name? I said ohh yea me and him talk from time to time." Cory is excited to get your cover to you, as i think you are the first 13 LSV hes doing.
From talking to him he schedules only so many covers to be built per year. He basically makes 1 cover per day, everyday. So once his calender is full he stops taking orders. It sounds like its a first come first serve unless your special LOL.
I'm a returning customer so i might be more special then first timers, but i know my cover is about 2 weeks out on his list he said. This week he has some other covers to do, but hes working on mine also, he has to get some peaces made and off to the printers, or embroiders so they can get my custom work done. Then he will make it when everything returns.
Cory has been making covers for 20+ years, this explains why his covers are so dam nice. Hes not new to this game.
Well, you got my concern. He can sure make some covers and there will be folks wanting MOJO covers. I knew the tower was different (this year anyway) so I wanted to know if he was ready for that. Not surprising he is. I'm sure he loves Moombadaze as this is his second (at least) Evolution cover and he wouldn't buy anything else.
With the new Beast being so much taller then the LSV, i was having issues with my space in the garage. Last year i spent some time organizing and cleaning out the garage, you might remember the pictures.

Well now Bestia's tower and board racks hit the storage system.

Tuesday while the boat has been away and i finally had a little time, it was time to make more room in the garage.
i stopped by the Home Depot, dropped a hundo for what looked like nothing in my cart LOL.
Tear down of everything i had done.

Then after a few hours, i got her all cleaned up again. I still need to hang one more banner back up on the boat side. Heres what the garage looks like now.

Hey Mike,
Is that top board a hyperlite apex?
I have one just like it and last summer the thing just fell apart (started to de-laminate on both ends).
I tried contacting Hyperlite (HO Sports) several times to discuss the issue to see if this is common, covered, if not covered repairable, ect.... and I've got nothing but the run-around and bad email addresses and contact info.
Every time I call it rings and rings. When I do get someone they don't know and tell me I need to talk to Eric (whomever that dude is?)
Any rate, I am not at all happy with their cust service to say the least!
Sorry for the rant - just looks like the same board :)
Yes that is that exact board. Yes mine is delaminating on the ends also. I also noticed its fading bad from the being in the racks over the summer. Its only in the rack when we are at the lake but the UV is fading the colors.
I dont ride it as much anymore. i use the one below it sitting on top of the CWB Ride surfboard. Its a Hyperlight State 145 and actually an older board, but no delaminating or issues with it other then fading on top as well.
WOW looking threw this thread, i realized when i organized my Photobucket i screwed up all the pics here. :sad:
Ill Repost them here so people can see them. Wish we had an edit feature so i could change the links and fix it all.
Heres goes round #2
The long awaited delivery has finally come.
I chose the 2013 Moomba Mojo.
I had many reasons for this but at the end of the day it was really a simple chose. I looked at almost every boat brand out there. For the size of boat, price and what you get for your money the Mojo was really the hands down winner in my book.
I have to give a big thanks to Rick Tinker, he came in a thread last summer and said he would pull some strings. Between him Shane Stillman, and AWS they made me a great deal that made the Mojo an even better deal for me.
I wont waste a bunch of time talking about the boat. That will come later as i start with my long list of mods
Here it is.

Unwrapping her.
http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/u...o/DSC_0452.jpg
I know I'm in the minority here, but I like the Chrome letters...
OK what started this whole update was i shared my Sub photos in another thread for a fellow Mojo owner. Might as well add them here.
I am still going to do an upgrade thread, shortly once i get the boat back from AWS. <it happens to be there now>
The carpet on the box looks unmatched in the photo's but its actually the same as in the interior carpet, its just the pull out carpet is darker and outside lighting.
I still want to get something for the front of the box to dress it up a bit. Its way to plain.
Also i have to move the facial panel up 1/2 inch to allow the pull out carpet to lay flat.
Its an Exile Big 15 set at 1ohm firing down, with about 1-2inch space, sealed box.
