    I installed my in hull yes in hull not thru hull transducer and also ran the wire to the helm. I found a much easier path for wiring which was nice. We have also started replacing a few things that were not very nice looking such as the VHF antenna mount, city water inlet, hatches in the cockpit.

     I'll get some before and after photos today but here's the new antenna mount. I need to clean the antennas very well today. 

    Everything we are replacing is with the new/same version yet non of the holes ever seem to line up 😕. I need to put the bottom screws in on these mounts and also the water inlet needs to be a 1/4" bigger than the current 2 1/2" hole.

    Small things but they help the overall feel of the boat being clean. Waiting for the cooler weather and rain on Sunday to wash the boat. I don't like doing it when it's warm and sunny. Less chance of water spots when it's cool and showers.

    It’s those small things that count.

    @LaRea. I think I finally convinced my wife of getting a Maritimo 😊. I absolutely love the m48 however I think I can't pass up the upgrades on the m50. We have a dealer in Seattle that we saw when we bought our 3988. First thing is getting a boathouse when one is available where we are then upgrade the boat. 

    We love the "skylounge" which is perfect for our differing weather and makes the boat even more of a 4 season boat.

    It's a great layout!  Let me know when you start shopping for real.  We've been making some good friends in the Maritimo corporate family who might be helpful.

    Plugged her in! Drained and changed drive oil, was too cold back in fall, would have taken 3 days to drain.
