dingleberry's new ride

[dingleberry]

Dingle,

The boat looks awesome! Great color scheme. I notice the vinyl seems very white...can the vinyl come in an eggshell type color instead?

Tall - I don't know. Have to ask Matt. I thought that maybe the Mushroom vinyl scheme would be darker, but playing with the Build Your Boat feature, the little bit of vinyl that shows - I can't tell.

By the way - Tige - the website Build Your Boat needs to show a view in which the interior is more visible.

when is the maiden voyage?

Saturday was too windy.

Sunday was too windy...but we did it anyway. Maybe a bad move, but we couldn't wait. I broke my cherry by taking my first wave over the bow. While at the dock to drop me off to get the trailer, not one but TWO boats bumped into ours. (As windy as it was, my wife was nervous to just putter around the launch area, so she tied up to the dock for five minutes.) But, at least theirs hit the rubrail at the bow of our boat...scratched their gelcoat but just left a colored streak on our rubrail. Due to winds, I was too nervous to get into the water with our camera for any on-the-water pictures. Coming later, I promise.

Monday morning was windy. By the time it died down and would have been a nice outing, it was too late as my wife had to get ready to work tonight. Next weekend...we are hoping.

dingleberry you have any pics of your stereo system if not please take some i want to see your amp set up

[Duncan]

Pics of the bimini extension will be MUCH appreciated!!

[dingleberry]

Larry - I'll try to take pics tomorrow

Duncan - I did post one shot looking at it from underneath on the previous page. I'll try to take pics from the outside tomorrow.

[Matt Garcia]

Dingle, we'll be up at Echo tomorrow, come on up.

OK - Larry, here are a couple pics of the stereo setup. While the setup is essentially using "Tower of Power" components, some of it was installed by my dealer rather than the factory. So, I don't know if these locations are typical or not. WetSounds SYN6 and SYN2 amps are located in the storage area under the head unit, attached to the wall by the bow walk through.





Here is also a shot of the WS420 eq and the XS12 sub located under the dash.



Duncan - here are a few of the bimini with extension. It all connects to the Alpha Z tower up around the bimini level, with no straps or rods that come down. Very clean and out of the way. Also, my dealer fixed our problem of the extension zipper coming undone by installing a snap that holds the zipper in place. Simple and works great.







Last, I just thought I would show our reg numbers, which were painted this week. The numbers are black with grey shadow, and the top half of the numbers have grey speckles, with orange speckles in the top quarter or so. Pretty sharp looking, I think. Thanks, Matt! (By the way - the on-water pictures above were taken last week, thus no reg numbers visable on those)

Sweet ride! That tower is starting to grow on me. I just wish it was just a few inches taller.
