Waiting for attitude to get back is killing me. Lets see some pics of Thunders to keep me going till she gets back lol!

I've got a few pics in this laptop somewhere. :drink:

Here's a few pics from one of Stu's runs a few years ago.
I think your parents where glad to make it to KW.:lolhit:

How about a couple party shots. The first is the annual gathering at Chip Oaks on the James run and the second is after a long day on the water in Cape Coral and the last one is coming back into State Dock on Cumberland one evening.

How about this spy pic? For those who don't know Corey and Trista tied the knot a few weeks ago. Congrats bud.

Thanks mike good pics

Congrats Corey and Trista..:drink:..sorry we couldnt make the wedding...cute couple..good job..so now when the grandbabies coming...Bob always told me he wanted at least 5 or 6:lolhit:

I scavenged this up from a trip we took last year. Thats one of the 28's with twins

Nice yep i remember that boat seen it at the factory before

Looks familiar aka our boat. Possible that picture was taken from our Destin trip. Now she's traveling the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan). Perfect for the twins! Damn efficient too. She will be making her way back to FL in the future for spring break.

It was the previous owner who is in this pic. This pic was taken in October of last year we did a run to Gulf shores from Navarre. We ran the Gulf on the way there and it was about 3'-4' rollers entire way there. Needless to say it was a fun ride and that AT did pretty awesome in the gulf. ( I know it wasnt HUGE waves but it was a fun ride.)

Duh on my part, we picked it up this spring, not last year. Anyways, that had to be a fun ride!

Nice shot of Ride-n-dirty in Powerboat Mag.

Everybody makes mistakes.
It was a blast. You got yourself a nice boat!

ok I give...how do I post a pic of my AT?

Since you are only a registered member its not easy, but not hard either.

Post your pic to a site like photobucket.com and copy the image link that the site gives your picture. Then paste it into your thread reply. and it looks like this.

Is this G.Tuppers old boat?
I shouldn't say old because the last time I saw it, it looked better than most 2011 boats I have seen.
Would loove to see some pics of it now.

I know more people have pics come on lol

My pride and Joy!

Very nice Bones. I like your dash layout.

37 At
 

Thanks freak. It was bugging me that the switches they use looked so dated and the huge lights in them overwhelmed the dash when lit. These are now the same switches as used in my 08 30 Outlaw. Inspite of having all the virtual guages (smartcraft) come in through the Garmin I wanted to retain mechanical gages for the bling factor so I made space for 4of the 6 I took out when installing the Garmin by eliminating all the trim/tab dash switches and having the shifters built with dual switches in each throttle....now i never have to let go of the throttles to sync drives/tabs.
If I can ever figure out the right camera settings to pick up the right color at night I'll post the cabin and cockpit lit up with the leds i installed....WAY trick.

I was wondering where the tab and drive switches went.

Nice ride Bones!

Boat looks great ! I like the dash :drink:

Yeah, much improved dash. Nice boat!

Dash changes to AT
 

Thanks for the positive feedback and hopefully no disrespect to AT as I LOVE the boat. I guess if you relate it to a kitchen these days....if you don't have slate and stainless appliances it's considered outdated so I took the plunge. Now if only I can get the stones to cut in an anchor locker out front. Next steps are to upgrade cleats to 8 inch pop ups with blind fasteners for a clean look, extra line capacity. Alread installed 3/8 in. quick release pin cleats up high for ease of fender hanging.

Are able to run your gauges through the gps??? I was thinking of going that route but didn't know where to start.

Virtual Gauges thru GPs
 

Yes 302. You need the Merc Monitor to decode the smartcraft code and convert it to NEMA 2000 language. The NEMA 2000 input goes in thru the GPS antenna coax connection. Once it's in the GPS you just select the correct display screen and it displays virtual gauges that you can set high and low limits that trigger alarms in the event you're outside those selected limits. figure $1000 for the Merc Monitor and a couple hundred for the cables, junction, terminators. Nice part is you get a second opinion for all of your mechanical gauges PLUS you can display pretty much the same stuff as the hand held Merc Code reader except for the being able to do some of the diagnostic tests that the hand held can perform.

I was thinking of getting rid of my gauges since I'm replacing all of them anyways. What kind of gps do you have to use???

GPS type
 

I know the Garmins (not all though) will decode the NEMA 2000 and they have the built in function to display info but there may be others too. The unit you see is the 740S but the 740 (no sonar) will work too. There's larger ones in the same series but I don't know too many go-fasts that would require larger display

Hmmmm....I like that idea and essentially I could do away with all of the gauges correct?? I also like how you put all of the trim in the throttle

Dash mods
 

302 ... I figured the trim/tab controls in the throttle cleaned up the dash and i never liked letting go of the throttles to tinker with sync'ing drives because of only having single trim switch on throttle. It wasn't that much of an adder in the cost of the new controls (see Bill Naumann) at Diamond Performance. It actually simplifies wiring behind the helm cause you don't need the diode packs to eliminate feedback through switches either on dash or throttles anymore. I'm really hoping Pat let's me design the next evolution of 37 ATs as I have lots of great ideas the make the boat even more well rounded as an already great performance boat.

Like who wouldn't want the sliding cabin door like on a 39 TG for great looks and sweet access to the deck, or an anchor locker to make setting/retrieval of an anchor a breeze (my 30 Outlaw has the perfect setup!!!!!!!!!) Or rotating the head in the head locker 90 degress to give virtually unlimted leg room on the commode.
How about back lighting the labels on the switches/breakers so you can see what it is you flipping before ya flip it!

Night shots of cabin and cockpit/dash with LEDs on
 

added some shots to the album showing how wicked the blue LEDs make the interior POP!

I'm sure no disrespect was taken. You are making the boat yours with all the upgrades. I made a bunch of small upgrades to my Tantrum and at one of the Jammin on the James poker runs I came down the dock and saw the Cult leader and Jay looking at my work. Pat complimented me on it and how clean we keep it.

Bones you are doing it up right! Mind if I steal a few of the ideas?:party-smiley-004:

Addiction...copy away! The greatest form of flattery is when somebpdy copies ya! Tell'm ya got the idea from bones!
