i feel ya. I'm no where near 5K, but I've boated 45 min this year so far and I am down
1 MSD distributor
1 intake Manifold gasket
1 Water pressure gauge
1 Stereo
1 gimbal bearing.

I'll feel lucky if that is all I have to do!

New Polk Audio 6x9s and Xtreme Audio Tribal Grills Powder Coated to match all the other red stuff. I am going to mount the 6x9s in the transom above the rub rail. I was reluctant to put them there but I am sick of people knocking my 6x9 boxes in the water.... We spend a lot of time backed up to a beach with the stereo on. Last year I was putting 6x9 boxes up on the sun pad, but they would get knocked in the water, rained on, etc. Not to mention, just a pain in the ass having to store them under the seat and running wires to them. With the Xtreme Audio Billet Grills Powder Coated Candy Red, these speakers may actually add some style to the back of the boat instead of just looking like 2 speakers.......

I found these in a box on my shelf yesterday. They were a customer return that I had forgot about. The powder coat is a dead match. So it looks like I have a new pair of shades for the boat.....


If you guys are looking for cool POLARIZED sunglasses let me know. I will offer OSO members good discounts on the Liquid Polarized Sunglasses as well as Wiley X sunglasses...

(Moderators, if this is a violation please let me know and I will remove. I am not looking for free advertising, just looking to pass on some savings to fellow OSO members)

Like thats going to happen.

I picked out my interior colors for the Cat project. I hope no one else has these colors, should be a one off.

Those colors do look familiar.... Wasn't there a member in the Velocity grou that was looking to use thoses colors?

No I don't think so, I invented these colors and had them "patent pending"

I installed the transom speakers. Polk 6x9 marine certified. The first pic is final install with the Xtreme Audio Billet Grills and my Fusion wired remote installed. The second pic is the Polk Speajers with the standard plastic grills. Which grills do you guys like better? I am leaning toward the plastic ones, however they will become brittle over time and will no doubt color fade. Not to mention they don't offer much protection from flying objects (like footballs, frisbees, etc). The billet will certailny protect the speakers a bit better.





Also I think the left speaker needs a bit of an alignment.....

I'm leaning red but they both look good. What happens to them if they get swamped?

They are waterproof. And have been sealed with "life seal" between the speaker and the transom. So Should be good. I plan on replacing the speakers once a season anyway, as I expect the sun to beat them up pretty good. I have had my Pioneer 6x9s knocked in the water numerous times and they weren't waterproof and they are still jamming.... But the boxes they were in are now 2x the size and about 10 lbs heavier....
