Looks great, congrats! Post some pics of the wave!

[viking 491]

I definitely will. Problem is I've got a good 3-4 months before that happens. Gives me some time to get the stereo and other mods done

Love the colors! Nice to see you went with the super tube trailer! Congrats. No surf graphic? I like it either way.

 

Smart move on having the surf decal separate. That's the one thing that I think could "date" these boats. The last thing you'd want is some graphic that you wish wasn't there down the road (like all those flames and tribal from the 2000's!)

 

Why the "no step" on your fenders? My fenders on my boat have soft decking on them specifically to provide traction WHEN people step on them. I know I certainly do all the time.

 

Also, are you the same Viking that I interact with on the Moomba forum? Seems too much of a coincidence to both have the same user name and both be from Montana...

I agree, I might be one of the few as well that absolutely hates the surf graphic. I think it makes a $100k boat look cheeseball. That black pearl FS33 in Texas is the only one that ive seen that I like it on.

Oh, I think there's probably more than a few.

 

Add me to the list! LOL!!!

YES, Same dude!

 

Want the "no step" on fenders cause the trailer has steps and I can see some 300# employee at the dealer, tint shop, ect.... jumping on there and denting the S*#$ out of it! Use the trailer steps...........that's what they are there for.

Made some progress this weekend. Got the sub enclosure all mocked up and test fitted. Came in a little large at 1.35cu.ft. so will trim about 3in off the face and it should be right at 1.1cu.ft. and flush with the top of the foot rest! Thought I'd see if I could get it to "ported" size. Not gonna happen and tucked in!!

Template is made for DECKadence!

[DarksideR 1,679]

Nice! And nice!

You gonna put a cover over the enclosure to cover up the footrest and hose?

[RVR-RAT 269]

Busy weekend!!! You definitely made some progress.

[viking 491]

ya I'm going to make a facade that goes the full length of the opening but notched to utilize the footrest. Hopefully i can source some vinyl that matches close enough to cover it? Should hide the hose on the right and hopefully still use the pocket on the left? Also extend the heater outlet or add a hot-tube to the cover panel.

Stereo Progress - Got the RGB rings installed and the Reve10's wired up and mounted.

Used WS swivel mounts and I'm glad I went with only 1 pair because another set will not fit on the lower mounts on the S4 tower. Maybe if utilizing fixed mounts but it will be extremely close if it works??
