Fountain

[B.Z.]

Other motor needs cap, rotor, advance springs, paint, and its ready. Then both motors and blowers get fresh oil and they are ready to go in. Bilge all set except for two new batteries. Boats coming along nicely.

The stereo system really rocks. There are two small babb speakers near the front footrests, and two 10" babb full range speakers under the rear bench. One of the rear 10inchers is toast, and the other one is iffy. Even with that its LOUD, and clear. But have 2 replacement babb 10"ers on the way. The babb full range 10" dont have that low end punch, since they arent subs. So i may add a single 10" sub under the rear bench for a little extra punch. i will say those babb (DC gold) speakers are great in a boat. 95+spl with 1 watt input. They are super efficient, and you dont need a giant amp to play them loud and clear.

So are you saying you want in on the stereo wars???? Babb vs. JL vs. Memphis Audio???? hahhaha

[B.Z.]

hahahahahahaha......I hope so buddy! I around this weekend so if you need my forklift driving skills to lower that motor in I'm available!!! I can still drive that and be on my blackberry!!!! haha

Havent dropped one in yet, but considering its not a "new" rigging job, it should bolt right up. Keyword "should". As long as the old angle aluminum is there with old holes in them, and i am using the standard offshore mounts, things "should" line right up. we'll see

Fingers crossed!

No doubt cant go wrong with JL speakers. Im excited though, as soundstream brought back their old reference series amps, built to their old specs with a couple improvements. If anyone remembers the good sound quality stuff from 15-20 years ago, soundstream was tough to beat when it came to amps. I'd love to do a soundstream amp setup with some CDT speakers, but not in this years budget!

Will do. Harvey will come out to measure make the carpet correct? Prob gonna go with RED carpet. Not sure which shade of red though. The cockpit vinyl is maroonish, while the boats paint is more red. Probably going to redo the vinyl this winter, and would replace the maroon with red. I think with fresh cockpit vinyl, and a dash makeover, the boat would look BRAND NEW!
