Default Refreshing my 2004 Formula 400 ss

Sold my 2009 33 active thunder and decided to go a little different route this time. Boat has 500 efi power and only has 170 hours on boat and engines,runs and sounds awesome! gotta stay as close to my powerboat roots as possible. going through boat and changing and adding some things. i will post pics and updates as i go. installing all JL audio speakers and amps. 6---6.5, 4---8.8, 2---10 subs. just finished it up and its crazy loud but clear. installing underwater led sea blaze 3 lights, new full canvas here this week. my favorite addition which i fell in love with at the miami boat show was redoing the whole dash and getting rid of the wood. gonna do carbon fiber panels, and platinum Livorsi Gauges. adding new Livorsi controls and a Isotta steering wheel. its a ton of work but i believe the end result will look killer! A big Thanks to Nauti Concepts for all my parts and accessories and my do it all mechanic/installer best friend cory for the help

Love those silver colors guys.
I have to stay near my performance roots too so the 400SS is the only other option I would consider also.
Great boat.
If you want to run the generator while running on plane over 30 MPH you will need a transom pickup to feed the strainer with because the steps will air lock the factory pick up and the gen will over temp shut down. Same issue for me.

Could you take pictures of where you mounted all the speakers and subs. Bought a 04 with 525s with bravo 1s last fall. Need to upgrade the sound system. If I could figure out how to upload pictures I could show you how I painted my dash. That wood had to go.

I just sold my 38 TG and bought an 06 40SS. Excited but sad at the same time. Friends tell me I will love the boat. I hope they are right.
