Since it seems a few people have liked the modifications I've made to my 2007 Rinker 370 "LaRea" over the years, I thought I'd publish this list with links. Some are major renovations, and some are minor tweaks, but I always enjoy the time I spend doing them. And the result is a one-of-a-kind boat!
The list is from my maintenance log, which I've been working to improve over the past few months. It doesn't include repairs or routine maintenance -- only mods that add new features or improve what Rinker built. I'll probably remember more stuff and add it later, but here's the list.
Feb-23 Helm upgrade, again

Thinking over what my list would be.. hmm..
Boat sends you a text and email if water is detected above a certain line in the engine bay... camera mounted in engine bay, fire/co detector sends a message if anything is detected..
Added Wifi AC controller that turns the boat on as you get with XX miles of the boat and turns it off as you leave that radius... cameras turn on and off as you show up and leave.. led lighting all around, .. okay have to stop and go eat dinner.
No monthly charge. One time 40 bucks. Won't find anything better
