Well the next phase of my spring '07 246CC updates is done today.
Last year when I bought the boat used I replaced the factory stereo with a new Clarion M303 w/BT as well as the controller at the helm.
I just picked up the boat from my stereo guy. Here is a list of what I had done as well as a couple evening pics of the whole cockpit.
Added a a second radio controller at the swim platform.
Replaced the two factory cuddy speakers with new Wet Sounds 6.5's.
Replaced the the four factory cockpit speakers with new 6.5" Wet Sounds with blue LEDs.
Added a 10" Wet Sounds sub to the area under the sink and covered the inside of that compartment with dynomat.
Added a JL Audio 700/5 amp very cleanly hidden in the cuddy cabinet.
Converted all all the factory cup holders to stainless ones with drains and blue LEDs.
Converted all all the factory white LED floor lights to blue and added 3 in unlit areas.
The floor lights remain controlled by the courtesy switch at the helm while the speaker LEDs and the cup holders are wired to a single AUX switch at the helm.
Going on vacation someplace warm for a week. While I'm gone the boat is getting professionally buffed and waxed. When I get back my SeaDek will be waiting for me....and A LOT of interior cleaning...

@elarson 5757.....Beautiful clean work. Awesome, pro-worthy. It is going to look so awesome dockside and on the water!
Last summer more and more guys were creating light shows at the docks in a very big marina in Canada, City of Kingston Marina.
It has locked security codes but the slip owners and visitors were all walking the docks looking at the show. It was like a giant boat show at night. Boats from 22 feet to 85 feet were at it.
This was the first time I had seen so MANY lighting projects, some to music....BTW, IMO- that's the next thing.
Ocean LED will already link your music via a control ox with remote fob to your light colors and strobe shows and I know others will too.
I know a bunch of the guys in Kingston so I hope they'll let me in the gate for a visit.
I know it sounds corny but I loved all the guys and their Admirals coming up to the boat at night with a light show underwater, tri coloured lights in the hard top and the satellite TV on and the Rinker blender making margaritas. I bet we made a lot of converts to Rinker boats!
I'll sure miss that! Ill be expecting pictures from you guys so I can live through your eyes LOL!
Already have all the snaps removed. Just have to get the holes slightly chamfered and fill them and I'm ready to start.
2007 280 Rinker Express 6.2L B3
Did you have to run the speaker wire around the boat for the sub, because i could not get a under the floor so i had to go all the way around.
i have a 2014 246 BR with the radio head in the bathroom compartment. i was running a new remote tot he steerring wheel area.
yes the speaker wires had to be run all the way around as my stereo is in the cabinet in the cuddy which is the same area as yours in the BR.
Go Steelers!!!
