Hi Fellow Tige Owners,
I’ve leaned on this this form for many years as I’ve worked through the various issues that seem to plague boat owners. Unfortunately, my family and I have been dealt another blow that I never saw coming. In 2015 I undertook a big project to upgrade the stereo system on our 2003 21i from stock to custom. This included adding a dual battery setup, Perko switch, and an onboard dual battery charger. The fun stuff included 6 Kicker KM65s with LEDs, a 10 kicker sub, two Kicker KM8/LED tower speakers with chrome bullet housings. I powered all of my new toys with two Kicker Marine amps, a 400.5, and an 800.5. The icing was the wet sounds light controller, and the Kicker independent volume controls.
I spent thousands on equipment, and a week over the 4th of July to do all the work. I also relied heavily upon this form to make sure the work came out right. It saved me a ton of money on the labor based on what I was quoted by installers.
Needless to say, we loved the results, and my kids especially loved having the great sounding tunes, and lights.
With nothing but time on our hands since Covid, I went to get my boat out of storage on Monday to prep for the coming year.
Sadly, some worthless piece of trash stole all of my onboard speakers, my sub, and my two amps. They were in and out quick, unscrewed all the screws, cut all the wiring they were gone. Even with cameras, the Storage Facility hasn’t been that helpful. The police are investigating, and hopefully that will prove fruitful.
Long story short, keep an eye on your boats if they are in storage, there are many people looking to make a quick buck right now, and high dollar stereo equipment is an easy way.
On the bright side, this creates an opportunity for an upgrade!!
Take care,
Chuck
