Thought I'd post some of my upgrades to my boat that I did this spring.

First off, I added a Vessel View 7 in place of the stock head unit, so I was left with the dilemma of what to do for a stereo.


I ended up going with a Fusion black box unit with their wired remote. I have zero use for the compass on the helm, so I figured I'd mount the remote there.


I am an engineer by trade, so I whipped up a solid model of the remote mount, that fits the compass location and uses the same screw holes.


I have a good friend with a 3D printer, and he printed it for me from white ABS plastic. Of course we had to add the Sunsation logo




I think it turned out alright. I also replaced the broken Livorsi clock with a dual 4.2 amp USB outlet, and reused the painted/anodized bezels.





Next we turn to the back of the boat. I am not sure if my rub rail shrunk or what, but the factory cheezy plastic cover came nowhere near close to covering the rub rail gap any longer.


I decided to make some out of stainless pipe. Chamfered them in the lathe, cut them in half, then drilled the hole, countersunk it.


Then powdercoated it. Much better than the piece of PVC or whatever the used from the factory. Made one for each side.



Lastly, I've been wanting to add a spare tire carrier to my painted aluminum Myco.
Again, I started out on the computer, figuring out my clearances, angles, etc.


Drilled the bolt pattern on the mill


Welded it all together. Really had to pour the coals to it for this 1/4" aluminum.


Powdercoated it.


Done.

Nice work!

Very nice work

Nice

How much for a pair of tire holders, 6 lug..there's really nothing Ive found that is sturdy enough, nice job

That is really killer! Awesome work.

Looks great !!

Very Nice!!!! I'm also an Engineer/Fabricator by trade I totally get building your own stuff, although I don't have access to some of your toys. I'd love to get my hands on a 3-D printer!!!

Awesome work!

Buying my 3D printer is the best money I have spent in a long time! I have made so many parts for the boat it's not even funny. If designed correctly there is no reason why ABS won't work just as well as aluminum! I do have to say that my next toy will be a mini desktop CNC for those times I do need something out of aluminum!

Noice!
