One main thing I want to do is add a stereo but not sure what to get as far as being waterproof. I'd really like to figure out how to rig up the battery up in the front. With the motor, gas tank, battery, and driver in the back, it takes forever to get on plane. So redistributing some weight my help. Any ideas on handy little improvements you have made?


Get a nice box with a cheap stereo they all break. My buddy that installs radios swears by pioneer, he says they hold up the longest in a saltwater environemnt.

You have a big heavy motor on the back...... might help to put some fixed trim tabs or switch to a 4 blade prop. You mentioned the carpet and you might want to take it out. That will help as well. You could also move your gas tank to the front of the boat under the deck. That may help with the weight ditribution and is relatively easy to do.

You have a nice set up just needs a little tweaking. There's lot of guys on here that know more than me and will be here to help you out.
