No pix?

No suggestions of what DIY changes you're considering?

What kind of water are you running on? What do y'all like to do? Does the boat run well, and handle big water pretty well?

All of the add-on's I come up with are usually based on what I like to do.

Welcome aboard.

Based on your usage, creature comforts and lights would be what I'm looking at first. Maybe adding some navigational electronics would be helpful if you don't already have 'em.

I have just changed the receiver out to a Boss unit, the original unit wasn't working right. Haven't changed the speakers yet, mainly because I don't listen to music on the water that much. Otherwise, aside from adding a basic Hummingbird plotter / fish finder the boat is all original.

What kind of toilet do you have? And which one do you want to install?
