    Yeah it has. I determined a week ago I'm going out regardless, and just hope for the best. 

    Right now I'm on island time, enjoying a John Daly barfront.  B)

    Haha I'm a drafted man now, but the talent pool here is always 1st rounders. Doesn't hurt to have water transportation. Lol

    I literally drive my boat 1/2 mile here, and I can walk back to the marina in a pinch.  :)

    You are an inspiration for why boaters should support small businesses.

    I swapped out my amp, added a new 10” sub and 6 1/2” speakers. Also added a conveniently located dual USB charger with voltmeter for my house battery.

    It actually sounds good. My amp pushes 75w to each speaker and 350 to the sub. I’m pleased with it.

    I replaced the "duck-bill" on the head.  Not posting pictures, sorry.  The tricky part is the one screw below the discharge hose.  I used a 1/4 inch ratchet/wrench holding a philips bit (I'm sure there is a tool that does this) to get that one out and back in.

    I finished  Installing my new helm sections, the old plastic "wooden" ones in my opinion looked cheap, when tightened down it would distort and make the panel's look wavy, I had no wood in the cockpit to match the brown plastic so I went with a glossy silver graphite,  these panels are almost a 1/4 thick and do not flex when snugged down.  After a few alterations Sam at tecnographic was awesome to work with  954-928-1714.
    @Michael T  what's your opinion on your old beauty's new helm facelift?

    Bryan - it looks SPECTACULAR..... way better than OEM. Would be a great optional-up-grade. You should save the templates - I bet you'll hear from other 360/370 owners! BTW love the gray with black pinstriping cockpit flooring!

    BTW2 the Raymarine dual touchscreen/rotary knob controlled GPS was not an option when I purchased the boat. Randy Rinker agreed to have it installed (the oem unit was a dinky little thing) so Rinker bought one and put it in (I paid, of course LOL). Still I really liked that Raymarine unit!

    BTW3 Again big shout-out to Randy as the best option ever (IMO) was installing the Axius control up on the helm so I could stand and look around as I used it. IMO putting it on the arm rest was not smart. On my 2013 EC 310 the Axius was in the right (IMO) place - up on the helm! 99% of the Axius systems i have seen mounted since 2014 have been up on the helm......Bryan I was going to have a second "stick" mounted either at the rear of the refreshment counter or the starboard gunwale. Could that be a future project for you???????  Bryan, I love watching you spend money!!!!!

    @bry1429 , That looks awesome. I have thought about upgrading my dash, but having to install a tankless water heater at my house to replace the 6 year old water heater that decided to fail at 11PM on fathers day has put a hold on all of my projects. Ugh.

    I installed 200 feet of anchor chain.  It was easier than I thought to attach the end inside the anchor locker.   I had a good sized stainless snap-link handy.  I put a shackle on the end of the chain, and the snap-link through it.  Good thing I have long arms.  The plate with a hole in it (what is that called?) was at about the end of my reach.  Can't wait to see what effect it has with getting on plane.
