I would move the stereo head unit and put the GPS on the starboard dash. the head unit is smaller and I would think it would be easier to find a spot for that someplace else. possibly put the head unit on the backside of the center console facing the aft seats and have a small remote for it on the dash somewhere.

I did think of moving the stereo but if I put the GPS on that side I wont be able to self navigate very well. may end up like that if I can't get it where we are talking about mounting it.

double I think I'm just about tapped out LOL but thanks for the offer LOL

Put the GPS on a slight angle and you will be able to see no problem.

We mounted my head unit on the starboard side of the console under the dash on my 338 then mounted a small round remote for it in the back of the console facing the rear seat. I did not need access to the unit and the remote was used from the rear seat. I also had a hand held remote.


On my 308 I am installing a JBL 3" round gauge style head unit in the console facing rear. Then JL Audio Amp and JL m770 speakers. The JBL head unit connects via Bluetooth to your phone and has wireless hand held or steering wheel mounted remotes. Anyway that will clear up your dash for the GPS.

This is my set up for my GPS on the 308

You keep monkeying around and you have to borrow mine for Tickfaw!

might work at an angle, but when I wear my sunglasses it really takes away the ability to see those kinds of screen displays, at least it does in the sunsation and that gps is right in front of me. was thinking that if we mount it just to the lower left (will make a small dash drop) maybe as long as my long azz legs don't hit it LOL this is a pic of my dash when it was new at skater...still same lay out but the stereo is in the middle of the passenger side.

skate, I may take you up on that even if mine is done LOL

one nibble...wife may cry if it sells anyway, she loves the V hull ride. I should be pushing to sell the 28. Two skaters with only 2' of difference doesn't make a lot sense. LOL...now if I could trade both the sunsation and the 28 for a bigger V we'd both be happy
I still have those labbed props for the sensation too.
