Welcome to the club... I have the same boat and have had a great time with it over the last 4 years. I'd recommend giving the boat a try w/ the hydrofoil on and off and see if you notice a difference. I don't personally have one on mine but my family used to have one on an older boat we had...

I'll have to check this out when I dewinterize.

Mine had a 21P aluminum from the factory. I used it for 3 seasons like that and this season put on a 4 blade 19P. I can stay on plane at lower speeds and when the boat is loaded with people I am able to get out of the hole easier.

Nice.. You'll love the upgraded stereo. I put on a 19P 4blade prop this season and it seems to be getting out of the hole a lot better than seasons past. I'd love to see your install after you get it all finished up.

It hadn't crossed my mind about the water flowing the other way. The Admiral just always comments on how gross the ski locker gets because the water is in there all the time.

My ski locker always has some water in it but that's because the drain hole is about an inch off the bottom of the ski locker. I have to get a towel in there if I want it dry. I don't think they thought through the drain placement when they laid it out.

Thanks! It's been a fun project now on our fourth Summer. I've pieced the stereo together slowly and almost have it to where I want it. The rubber I used was pretty pliable. I picked it up from a rubber / gasket shop here in town. The piece I used was probably twice as thick as what the...

I've attached some photos of the tower gaskets I made. I've also posted a picture of the tower speakers I currently have installed which are Wetsounds Rev 10's which as the name says is a 10" speaker. I had to adjust my bimini all the way to the bottom of the leg to get it to work. Also with...

I've often wondered if there was a torque spec on those bolts too but I've never found the answer. As for the pads I was guessing I could order them from a Marine Max but I just made my own. I grabbed a piece of rubber and placed it under the rear legs. Traced them and cut them out. I then...

Does your bimini mount over or under the tower? From the sounds of it yours is like mine and mounts under. I was able to mount up my Kicker KMT6's under the tower and still use the bimini the last two seasons. I had to pull one side of the bimini out of its support but it wasn't that big of a...

Welcome! I'll get some pics posted of my setup. I'm in the process of retrofitting my bimini to work better with my tower and speakers. What is your budget for tower speakers and amp?

Welcome aboard! I've got an '08 205 and tried to win my wife over with the yellow but she wouldn't budge so we went with blue and the same graphics package as you. This will be our 4th season with the boat and she's been great every year!

My regret was not going with the fuel injected engine. I think you get better gas mileage and still have the same horsepower as me. I wouldn't have minded the 5.0L MPI as I have some "larger" friends. She has been a blast though.

From the sounds of it you're describing the antenna connector. This would have plugged into the antenna dongle on the M303. In this picture it's the third connector from the left. https://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ImageHandler/fixedscale/900/900/products/2013/14/020/x020M303-B.jpg...

I completely agree. I'd like to highlight his mention of quality. Just because something is marketed as "marine" doesn't necessarily mean anything. With just a little bit of research you can find out if the company has really changed anything on the component to make it more tolerable to a...

I'm looking for some photos of the bimini that mounts off the front of the tower of these. Specifically the older style tower that leans back, not the new black one. If someone was so inclined I would love up close pictures of it mounting to the tower as well as the length of the pole going...

If you're in salt water I'd recommend going with the marine stuff or if you're planning to mount them in a location that will be damp. My 3 amps are mounted up under the drivers helm and pretty out of the way. The only time they might get wet is when I'm washing the boat interior. As for...

I'm still running a 21P Aluminum. It's on the list to replace this winter / spring as my hole shot and WOT are horrible.

The stock tower on my '08 folds down forward. If I want it to be below the windshield I have to remove the front canvas so it can go down into the bow.

Did you go w/ the Smart Tabs SX or just the Smart Tabs? Does your boat have the curved transom?
