Yes I doo like the idea. There are so many wires under my helm right now I think I will probably try to make it to the main switch if possible. If I can do that great. If I cant I will just hook them straight to house bank. They are fused and have switches so all is well.

I installed a ballast main switch too only because in that location, I found myself constantly hitting those switches with my knee so they would be on accidentally.

I might have missed it but your courtesy lights, much brighter than the oem ones? Where did you pick them up? OEM lights are next to useless other than mood lighting

[Carranza913]

Yes I just ordered them off amazon.. "Marine white courtesy light" I am pleased with them.. They still are not as bright as I would like with 3 of them but for sure an improvement over factory. Disclaimer. I did have to drill new holes as they do not fit the factory screw holes. I will post in time how they hold up but they seem to be sealed very well.

I dont feel like I will bump the switches often as I hardly ever sit forward but only time will tell. If I need to I can fab up a box that will cover the switches. I ended up wiring them to the single switch.

Fabbed up a replacement for the tow bar. Last year I slipped on the decking and landed on it.. the kids have been very very close to slipping and hitting their head. In my opinion it is a terrible design!

Awesome! I can't tell you how many times on the 20v my wife screamed out a few choice words when she hit that thing! I'm glad the new boast doesn't have one like that.

A friend of mine replaced his with a “safety pole” aka a 6ft stripper pole. Lol

Wondering if I should be worried about the last two pics.. it appears my prop shaft is just slightly off center. Finishing up one step at a time.

I can’t imagine that small of a difference would hurt anything. I wouldn’t sweat it unless I was feeling something strange or it was making noise.

[Carranza913]

Omg!!! So close and it was 60 degrees today!! Hurry up summer!!

Well she got some collinite cleaner followed by some collinite fiberglass wax followed by a coat of hot sauce. She is ready for her maiden voyage! Trying out the nauticurl.

Here are some wave pics first time out. Overall I think it is much better than last year. Probably had about 400 in the bow and about 1500 in the rear taps 5 or 6 speed around 11.5 and nauticurl right at the water line all the way back.
