Has anyone added one to their boat? I need to know where to look and some recommendations on models would be great. Thanks!
 
I don't think you are going to find a flip down TV only. There may be an am/fm/dvd player included.

You could adapt a mount, however, I must ask, Why does it have to be a flipdown model?
 
Thanks for the response! I guess it doesn't have to be a flip down. I just want something built in that will run on the 12v side and provide the kids a place to watch movies.

You're right the flipdowns do have the DVD player built in. That's what I was looking for, but if there's a better way, I am open to all suggestions.
 
Starboard - I have a factory installed unit in the aft bunk. It's a 12v model, very similar to the ones we have in our Tahoe and Denali. I would suggest looking at Best Buy, etc. for a 12v auto model that has a built in DVD player and can be ceiling mounted...
 
I've looked into this as well and decided to go with a portable dvd player instead. Kids love it, much less $$ and time to get the desired result...
 
I installed a flat screen in my salon as well as the master stateroom. Instead of spending over $100 on a ceiling mount I bought an old CRT T.V. wall mount stand and flipped it over. I was able to adapt the stand by using the arm that attached to the wall is now on the ceiling allowing the base to hold the flat screen. Total cost $8 and a saw blade.
 
When I purchased my boat new back in 08 it did not come with a TV. I am in the process of getting quotes for installation but really am not sure where to mount or what tv to buy. For now I am thinking of just going with the stock location but am open to new ideas/solutions. BTW MM quote for a factory TV installation $4500 includes 16hrs labor. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

$4500.... are you sure about that? For 4500 hundred dollars you should get the TV, the Hot Tub, and the Stripper Pole!
 
huh... stripper pole, I kind of like that idea...could it be raised and lowered like the swim platform? Now that would be cool:smt001

Some people will put the mount on their swim platform and call it a “grill mount”…. But we know better!
 
I already have a stripper pole in mine, The aft table without the table (pole only) could be used as one if she was about 3'6"
 
See...now this is why I love this site....you guys are so darn creative... now if I can just find a 3'6"stripper...:grin:

Yes, I did do a "search on this topic" and "no" there no previous threads that I could find that have a link to, or reference anything having to do with smaller stature strippers.:smt001
 
Midget strippers (can I say that?)... Jerry Springer

Well there you go. You had to go an tick someone off..:smt021 This thread was going along so nicely (strippers and all) and you had to go and break the politically correct barrier...:smt100. Small stature would have been ok...tiny-ok...vertically challenged - ok..., even little person may have flown, but now you've done it.. you're on your own.:smt043
 
Thats a shame. I used to like Bill, too... :smt018

But I'd be willing to forgive him if he could find a midget stripper with a boyfriend who wouldn't mind sitting under my engine and changing that damn #7 plug next time I change them....
