making some upgrades to the 290
 
Well I've decided to do some updates to my boat instead of get a different boat this year... i updated the audio with a monster JL Audio system including 6 speakers and 2 subs... installed a few livorsi extras... and will be hauling the boat down to mitcher t for some paint touch ups and changes as well as getting my dash panels painted and new mini bezels around all of my push button fuses. I'll be posting before and after pics soon so stay tuned :)

AJ POWERPLAY 07-26-2010 04:56 PM

you cant go wrong with having Mitcher T update your dash panels and graphics,heres a before and after on one of my 29 that he did.

AJ POWERPLAY 07-26-2010 05:23 PM

That looks Sharp! I'm not goin all out and changing the whole look- just modifying the current look, taking the checkers all the way back and changing a stripe color... but the dash should look awesome and going to do some vinyl work this winter adding some red black and silver

tough choice there Fisher! Just like all toys, they come and go! I love both! Can't wait to see the after pics!

Here are some updates:
Mitch is only a couple days out from being done now should be complete late Friday... here are a few shots

All starting to come together now once the checkers are painted back and wrapped around the rear of the boat it should make it look a little more beefy. I changed the purple stripe but I won't ruin the surprise ;) I think its going to turn out real well.

We also discussed doing a graphic on the bow so Mitch came up with this design which was awesome so I went ahead and had him do that as well...

Nice, I'm guessing Bronze is going to replace the purple. Mitch does great work. He also did my dash panels and they turned out great.

AJ POWERPLAY 09-01-2010 06:29 AM

Well I told ya id put up pics of the sound system so I finally got motivated and took some... all JL equipment with an Alpine head unit... this thing rips
Two 10" subs
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g4...1/40637c45.jpg
A set of rear 7.7" components with high mounted tweeters on both sides
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g4...1/9bbabc78.jpg
A set of front 7.7" components with high mounted tweeters both sides
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g4...1/cf8ea109.jpg
Both amps mounted in the little storage buddy downstairs... being class D amps they draw very little power and put out huge sound, 100w to each of the components and 300w to each sub
