Let me know when you get a post started. I'd love to see your progress as you go along. I know you're at least half way through the rebuild so post some back pics. Gator

Well I got a little more done today. Front speakers are in and I installed a 6 outlet gadget charging bank. Really glad I ran a 1" wire chase down each side under the decking. I've ran all the speaker wires and 12 volt wiring in the chases. All wires are protected and it'll be easy to pull any other wires I may need in the future. Still waiting on the material to finish the sides and ceiling. There will be red trim boards along the top fore and aft of the hatch and along the sides to hide the in-direct L.E.D. lighting. More pics coming. Headliner is holding me up right now. All the red trim boards are done and waiting their turn to be installed. Also the door is complete, double bi-folds they will go on last as not to tear them up with all the going in and out of the cuddy.

Thanks Meara looking foward to seeing your photo album. My boat is on jacks it wouldn't fit in the bay on the trailer. I'll be cleaning up the trailer soon. Not much to do there its aluminum, not painted, (I took it off the red trailer it's on in my avatar). I want to add L.E.D. lights down the sides and L.E.D. taillights too.

Well today I managed to get the 850 watt 5 channel amp, 10" sub and new 6.5" rear speakers installed. Can't mount the amp until the headliner material arrives, but all the wires are run, connected and ready to secure to the bulkhead once the headliner is done.

The headliner, lights, amp and speakers are all installed. Fixing to close out the cuddy for the season. Ready to rock and roll on Memorial Weekend. Can't wait...

Looking good!! I just finished a 3 amp, 14 speaker install last night (24 hours total time over 3 different days). Its nice knowing that a part of your boat is "done". I still need to work on a buff and wax plus changing my fluids but Im getting there....Hard to believe Memorial Day is only about 1 month away!

I hear you PowerQuest, I glad mine is coming back together rather quickly. I did have alot of things done and waiting their turn to be installed. The interior is light grey bulkheads & ceiling and dark grey decking & floor. In the center the burgandy color trim board is hiding indirect white lighting and the side boards will match the center with red L.E.D. indirect lighting behind them. Still have to finish the double bi-fold doors and door hatch. They're done just waiting till I back out into the cockpit, so they don't get tore up. The stereo, amp and speakers are all installed and sounds amazing. 850W Precsion Power, 5 channel amp feeding (4) 6.5" MTX Thunder Marine speakers and a 10" MTX Thunder Marine sub wolfer and a Jensen head unit w/CD and remote. Bad @$$ system for only $350.00...
