You will have plenty of room behind them. A good 4 inches. I'm getting the name made for my black boat now. Black with a chrome edging.
Not sue if this counts but Mello Yellow is 200% upgraded

Ok so plan is finalized.

First overhaul is the sound system. Removing everything existing and replacing it with:

6) Wet Sounds Revo6 6.5 coaxial speakers
1) Wet Sounds Revo 10 Free Air Sub
2) Wet Sounds Rev 8 HLCD Tower Speakers
2) Wet Sounds HTX6 Amplifiers
1) Sony MEX-M100BT Head Unit
1) Shakespeare Galaxy SRA-25 Sirius XM receiver

All of the grills are the white with chrome and the tower speakers are white.

Also confirmed the plans with Marine Mat today to replace the carpets with the teak Snap In Marine Mat. So the bow, cockpit and aft walk through will have that. I'm not doing the swim platform.

Co Captain is ready to go! Officially less than a month to splashdown.

I had 6 Sony 6.5" coaxial speakers and a pair of Roswell tower speakers. I had a 100.2 kicker amp and a 500.2 Roswell amp. It was pretty decent actually while hanging out on the hook but I wanted the upgrade for clarity, hearing the clarity while running WOT and the clarity of the tower speakers for towing skiers. There's so much power behind these I don't think I'll ever run it more than half open.

I was going to sell them for the first reasonable offer. I didn't have a sub before that's a new addition but the tower speakers and amp are pretty nice. I'll get some pictures once the installer pulls them off.

While checking out the location of the nearest boat ramp down here in Bonita Springs fl, I'm guessing this guy is looking to be doing some needed upgrades to his 15' Beemer and wave runner.

You're not supposed to just drive it off the dock?

This is pretty common down there. Supposedly it's an insurance scam for people underwater with their vehicles. I don't think it's always that way things happen but I believe it sometimes.

When I came up on this, I asked a guy on the dock if I'm seeing correctly, and he told me he saw the whole thing.
The guy let his girlfriend back their wave runner down the ramp. Enough said there....
I guess he got out of the side window, but then he had a hard time getting her out because of the water pressure.
