I took out the TV that came from BT and put in a 13'' flat screen with a car in dash DVD player mounted in the side cabinet. Works great, and can see it from the bed.

So it looks like you got the BT. Congrats.

This is one I was looking at. With the thin design, it could go over the hole from the old recessed TV and mount on the face with a wall type pivot mount I think.

How does it run?

We are curious with the low numbers quoted when you were looking at it. Have you had a good chance to review along with engines, drives, and props?

Ratickle,

How's your boat coming along??

Fellow I bought boat from said it ran 65. But he never trimmed boat out. Best MPH Ive seen is 70 so far with 6 aboard. Boats got 500s with XRs and 26 bravos. It was still climbing but very slowly. Motors turning 5300. What prop do you fellows think about 28 Hydros. Also boats got stainless headers with silent choice. Im not sure what brand they are. Need an electric solenoid, got one stuck. Any suggestions
THANKS AGAIN

My lightning electric switchables on the Empress work well. Before buying a new one, have someone hit the switch and manually move the arm before it trips the circuit. It may just be stuck and moving it a few times will fix it. There really isn't much to go bad. Speed sounds correct with that load and setup, glad it runs like it should.
