Several updates on the boat since I took it in on trade. Ron did a great job on this boat build as usual but I changed out the interior changed the bezels added a stereo and fender pins. Also LED red/white interior lights and underwater transom LEDs blue/white. Don't tell my wife but I left Ron's brass stripper pole just in case for date night!

The stereo is pretty cool. I used a JBL gauge style head unit installed in the rear of the console with a waterproof floating remote. The JBL is bluetooth and connects to your media player or phone via bluetooth to play music. I used JL Audio MX 770 speakers with JL Audio M400/4 amp. Chis had installed a onboard battery tender/charger which keeps the batteries ready to go even when running the stereo.

I installed a 5 person intercom system by Rugged Radios and VHF. The intercom interfaces with your phone and the VHF allowing you to make and take calls on phone or VHF and listen to music from phone or head unit.

I made the bolsters removable and replaced with a flush color coordinated insert for days when conditions are calm and the girls want to lounge in the back seat

I cut the cored divider and added aluminum brackets with riv-nuts. You flip seat up and run a couple of bolts in and it's done. Very secure then flip seat up remove bolts and then the bolster. Inserts just Velcro in. I'll have photos of those later

You can see riv-nuts and bracket in the second photo.

It's been a lot of fun working on these updates. My upholstery guy is awesome and also making a full cover this week.
