  A cheap little unit for 30 bucks on Amazon. Came with 2 remotes.  Bryan Stove 620 is how it's listed.  Looks like a mini nes but with 4 buttons

  I got my new TV antenna from Amazon. I got the 19" version and it is huge for my boat. Returning it and getting the 15" one and hope to get it installed soon.

  I never did get my original TV antenna to pick up stations with my new TV. I thought it was up to the new standard for digital TV but maybe it is not??
  
  @Cableguy Greg can you post the link of what you got?

  I changed my original antenna to a Shakespeare digital, works great. Receives signals from Buffalo here in Toronto.

  My Rinker had a Shakespeare and my Cruisers has a glow max. Both seem pretty comparable. I get around 20 channels at the dock with both.

  Good to know @Liberty44140. I like the look of the Glomex better.

  Got the new nav light assemblies and LED lights installed. 
  
  Readjusted the snaps across the front canvas to make the zippers work better

  
  Still working on my GPS mount. 
  
  Measured the potential new boat house again and it looks like that deal should go through 👍 opening height is exactly the height of the radar arch so that will take some fixing but still doable.

  What kind of mount are you thinking of using? I know your boat probably has more room at the helm than mine but I was considering using a RAM Mount,

  I am planning on putting it here and I built a box for it that will be screwed down from inside and then the GPS gets screwed into that in the 4 corners.
  
  I have 1/4" HDPE that will cover the box so it will look like one piece with the GPS. If I don't like it I will do something else but I think this will be good. Need to cover the old GPS hole or make it a compartment for storage.

  @Aqua_Aura are you Merc or Volvo?? If Merc, you should grab a small vessel view (Simrad Cruise)! It would be great in that space and then you could mount the GPS front and center to replace the analog gauges.

  I am Volvo and I have the yacht devices hub connected into the NMEA network I installed and currently have the gauges on this screen as well as charts. The plan was to potentially get the Garmin 5" screen to replace all my gauges but not sure if I'll do that. 
  
  I mostly just wanted my NMPG which I get now so I'm happy so far.

  @McGarnicle curious about the wrap.  Why did it need replacing, how old was it, and about how much does it cost?

  @Spyderweb @SimcoeRinker400 The vinyl wrap was only 3 years old but paid some detailers to wash it and they used a stiff brush and scratched it beyond belief. Paid a company $3200 to remove the old wrap and install the new one.

  I’m thinking about having them come back to replace the pinstripe on the bow to solid black and do the exterior of the arch black as well

  I love the arch idea. Seriously considering this on my boat.

  Yacht club invited us down for a USCG inspection so we now have our sticker on the window. Today we are anchored up and enjoying the 80 degree day before our Wednesday shrimping trip with a friend when it's gonna be 50 and raining.

  TBD on what is next. Boat prices by me are crazy, even crap boats selling. Prob take some time off.  Got a gig crewing a sailboat on Wed night races here.  In an ideal world I’d upsize. TBD. 
  
  Got a full price offer in 24hrs, sight unseen.

  It's hard to up size when like you said there are no good boats in Canada or the U.S. ... looked the other day .

  Sorry/glad to hear BD. Not sure if you are glad or sad as you know the saying. When I upsized I had to settle for a real rough 410 that I have been rebuilding for the past eight months. Not much out there you have to either be patient and jump fast when one comes up and probably overpay for a good one.
