Jupiter restoration begins

Thanks GA! I bought a JBL, don't remember the model, I think it was from Amazon.

Our dashes are about the same size and I've been thinking about a round one that fits in the same size hole as a tach. When I got the Nassau, it had a rusted mass of a car radio. I tossed it and had a huge whole to fill. I made a switch panel for that, but I need a little music when I;m sitting in a cove chillin'. The round one fits the bill perfectly. Thanks.

If you have a smart phone then the best way to go is a bluetooth wireless speaker. No holes or wires and you can play all your music stored on the phone. I have the oontz angle, it won't blow you socks off but sounds pretty darn good.

I've been resisting getting a smartphone, WM. Maybe some day, but not yet. I do have a tablet with bluetoes built in, so I could use it for sounds.

We've been using our Bose speaker, but it didn't like the bumps and wasn't loud enough. The JBL is bluetooth, we installed 4 speakers and an amp.

Old wiring out, new wiring in! I changed out wire for wire, one at a time. I was lucky to find this gently used bundle on Xbay, otherwise other options were getting really expensive, the "big red plug", seemed to be an anomaly out there.

Well, it's in, and the cables seem to be working properly. Not sure what to do with the body though. (JK)

I have tunes!

Lots going on here, looking forward to another busy day today!

I hope you don't need to to find wires to put that whole box of connectors on.

My thoughts too. That is quite a stash. Enough for anyone with MBS.

Completed dash, this was last fall. After this, we hit a major snag! Back in business now, looking at 6 weeks!

I have new 1988 Johnson 70 decals.

Original light still works, beautiful!

Ok, super busy last weekend, finally! Tanks and batteries in. Installed the sliding doors only to find gaps at the bottom on both sides. We had installed the gunnels at the wrong angle, live and learn. Drilled out rivets and fixed the problem, cabinet is perfect now. Installed cleats, lights and horn, polished the windshield (we don't talk about over spray). Applying Starcraft emblem and hull numbers was a good ending to the weekend! She's legit! I have changed my mind on the back to back seats, and have purchased white folding swivel seats, they are going in on Sunday. Splash 2nd week of May!

The Jup looks great, looking forward to the splash pics!

Everyone has to have a gunnel supervisor... :lol:
