@MarkB today changed the sensor and it ran like a dream she is super responsive with heaps of power I'm amazed on how silky the drivers are there's just to much to say  took her down to the statue of liberty then went to long island for some drinks then back to the dock and I feel like she didn't even  break a sweat on the 3hr run just amazing 

javhav

@raybo3 thank you there's  was more stuff I wanted to do but time and money was not on my side but I'm  happy with the results

You need to make a canvas to protect that investment

Our dock mates have been installing rod holders in that location to accommodate tables for a bar or food.

Man javhav does it look awesome! Great work and unbelievable how fast you did it. Just awesome. I really dont think the off white door & upholstry looks bad against the white at all. Also those are relatively easy changes down the road, especially the door. Actually the off white goes nicely with the canvas and seadek. Anyway great work!

I put the rod holders 1 would be for what @Liberty44140 said and second I can easily remove and replace the star board if I don't want them later on down the line 

javhav

Ye the upholstery looks good and sets a dual
tone.
if it’s in good shape no sense to replace the vinyl.

So beautiful. I feel like I have the most time off of anyone in my personal life and on this board (well maybe HM holds that trophy)...yet you somehow seem to be magical in how fast you got this done!! 

javhav

@J3ff no I'm not a magician lol I'm not going to lie to you my personal life is beyond crazy wife/kids/dogs/and workers my days start @4am until when ever.  my business is to be on call 24/7 unlike your buddy HM who chooses to make a career worrying  about a mans pockets and time ⁷I choose to use my time productively I'm use to deadlines and this is where I thrive I can't stress enough plan plan plan you need to think 10 steps ahead before you even start a project like this or any for example before the boat was delivered I had 40 packages in my office to start  what I do is take pictures first then I sit and study them run through all the scenarios and start ordering so 2 to 3 hr a day with material on hand you can accomplish alot in such a concentrated time

@javhav , I do the exact same thing with pictures. I study them for hours. It could be my car, boat or house. Any project, I will look over pictures to see what the best plan of attack is.

LaRea

Well, people can slice it as they like ... it's something that 99.9% of boaters couldn't dream, let alone accomplish.  I'm just glad you're letting us share the joy.

Maybe 99.99%.

I still can not get over how beautiful that boat looks on the water!

I thought I was the only one that stares at pictures lol

javhav

@Carsnmorellc thank you she really came to life in the water 

javhav

@LaRea thank you and I'm always happy to share

How do you like the skar subs?  Im running some nvx subs right now and am happy with them but i like to try new audio brands, especially under the radar brands.  As much as i love JL they priced themselves out of my projects.

He's probably on a 3-week cruise enjoying his new ride.

I need one of those work from home jobs, just float up and down the icw and work on equipment right at the customers dock/back yard

Liberty44140

Agree Rick - was just reading about a dentist who does that and practices right from his trawler on remote islands. Pretty cool!

PickleRick

A dentist??? Those guys are more feared than monsters under a child's bed

Dude_Himself

I work from home, or boat, 100% of the time. It's fun, but it gets old. Work is work - I'd rather be sitting there enjoying the water than staring at a screen and listening to my earpiece.
