Default New Mods for this Year?

Anyone doing any modifications over the winter? If our boat doesn't sell, I may consider having a bimni with full enclosure made in the spring. But it would have to be fully concealed when not in use.

(I thought that GO4BROKE had a good idea starting this thread last year)

Crazy Greg in Ft. Lauderdale had one of those made, completely removeable. Capt. Bob said it worked great when coming back from the Bahamas in twenty foot seas! Yikes!

Yep, Having my 500 EFI's TWEEKED, putting A/Z Speed upgrade kit, larger throttle body and having my Brodix Aluminum Heads installed. Along with those upgrades having Mechanical Gaffrig Gauges installed for Water Temp, Oil Pressure. and Fuel Pressure.
Don't know for sure but will probably have some Stainless Steel Hose's installed to upgrade the cosmetic's.

Don't know how much more I can do until the wife PULLS the PLUG!!!

Well, I don't know about a winter project, mine is a neverending project. Currently have the motors out, I've re-gelled the engine compartment, new wire loam, reconfigure a few things, re-wire dash. I might build a new engine hatch, and re-do the upholstry. Then tackle the cabin.
