Finally got around to a bunch of projects/upgrades that I have been putting off.
Thanks for all of the CSR input to questions prior to upgrading.
Made things go a lot easier!!
First of all I installed a new 200w Dual Stereo.
AM/FM - CD - with USB - AUX inputs on the face.
With Remote.
Then I finally got around to installing the Flat Panel LCD that I have been looking at for the past season and a half.
Installed a Dynex 22" with built-in DVD Player form Best Buy.
Still need to install a wire mold to cover exposed wiring.
Had to tap into the 110v wiring going to the central vac and install an outlet in the closet to behind the mirror next to the tv.
Then wired a 3.5mm jack from headphone jack back to the AUX stereo jack so that when on aux it plays through the speakers in cockpit while watching the football games outside.
Then I went from this look in the salon:
PO's sad attempt to customize the two tables in the salon.
Had the stock kidney table cleaned up and new granite looking formica laminated.
Changed the location of the cup holders on the larger table and installed Stainless Holders from Flounder Pounder.
Then made a new smaller kidney shaped table to replace the worthless 24" round table on the starboard side. Had this laminated in the same material.
New Look:
Added a lot more available seating for our Saturday Night Dinners.
NOTE: Scott F you still have an open invite!
Last "cool mod" was the addition of a Cockpit Table for those alfresco dining nights.
After doing a lot of research here on CSR and contacting a lot of sources I decided that the $700 - $1200 expense of stock was out of the question.
Picked up a stock Sea Ray base from PW Marine, Post and Surface Mount base from Garelick and made a table with 1/2 round bullnose edge with formica top for a total out lay of less than $400.
Cockpit Table:
Next on the agenda: Replace carpet with hardwood and build new hardwood stairs to the salon.
Still researching the options and enjoying the banter on CSR.
Sorry for rambling on!
