    Default Bye bye carpet, hello upgrades!

    This weekend saw the culmination of reassembly for our boat from carpet removal to speaker upgrades, LED lighting, and new sundeck vinyl. Dingy brown carpet and sun damaged vinyl took way to new EVA foam and fresh vinyl (minus the brown). Lot's of hard work in the baking sun but worth every second now that the floor is clean and dry and your feet don't cook!

    Here's the original we were working with. Sun damaged and tired of people walking on it:



    The old hatch material (engine and gull doors) was shot. Aluminum de-laminated from the honey comb core and panels severely bent:



    2008 OBV
    325 EFI with closed cooling
    Gravity III with 750's in the rear, 400 stock floor, 750 IBS
    Servo valve ballast upgrade
    Wetsounds Rev10
    JL Amps, WS420BT

    2000 Outback LS <-- Sold!!!
    310 Carb Direct Drive
    800# Rear Locker
    750# IBS (should have kept this for the OBV)
    Dual Batteries with 2 Bank Charger System
    Kenwood Head with Remotes
    Too many hours restoring exterior from prior negligence to count!

    Helper pup got confused when I said "let's go work on the boat". I think he heard "let's go boat"
