Default Boat project update

Here are the latest pics from the OutFoxed. Special shout out to Borel's Boat Service in New Iberia for getting the top back on Monday so we could fish Wednesday. Them boys over there do some incredible work!

Got the old nasty blue topped switched to black, radar dome and bracket painted to owner's specs, even had the trim tabs powder coated black to match the black bottom. Only thing left to go is the stereo system which I delivered to Borel's last week for them to install. Guy bought 4 red tubes, for a total of 8 speakers, pushed by 2- 1200wt amps. Thing is going to rock! Having 2 extra batteries installed just to run the stereo.

I spent 2 nights last week tearing down the old downriggers and reworking them. Spooled them with 200' of Cannon cable each and have 12# weights rubber coated in, you guessed it, red!
