    Just make sure to put some protection on the seats after you use a magic eraser. If not, the sun will eat the material pretty quick

      Just make sure it’s ofc wire they use Instead of cca wire. Cca corrodes way faster than OFC wire.

    Don't forget the led lighting inside to make it pop and put 2 transum Led lights so it light around the engine at night. I think it's that boat guy on UA-cam that does it with the leds and they look great.

    Great video. If you're looking to save a little money you can substitute melamine sponges for Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. They're the same thing. Also: Magic Erasers/melamine is the equivalent of 3000-5000 grit sandpaper so they're handy for polishing as well.

    Us marine 31 for all your vinyl cleaning need! This stuff is jesus juice for boat owners!! Oh and Polk audio has marine grade stereo equipment that is fairly priced and there quality has definitely improved over the past few years.

    Bike bar tape could wrap up those handles for cheap and it’s pretty weather resistant

  • @2fast4you25
    @2fast4you25 4 роки тому +2

    Since you ride in lake with fresh water that amp will be ok for now. But if you do hit salt water your gonna need marine grade stuff, rust will eat it in a week. LOOKING GOOD. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

    cool job !!!!!!!! get a portable air horn if you don't have one on the boat already , Soft Scrub and Magic Eraser is what i use to clean everything !!

    Clarion Works very good for me, on my saltwater boat, kicker, JL and JBL are the ones that work better for the amp and the speakers. Nice build !

    X-14 stain and mildew remover for those handles! No scrubbing required. Just spray it on, let it work, then rinse off. You can pick it up at ACE hardware or online.

  • @ncoots01

    Great work! Loved watching what you did with the boat! Maybe it would be good to get some covers for the speakers when you aren't using them. Typically after about 2 seasons, I see the plastic start to crack.

  • @Freedompyro

    “Skar audio” is by far the best especially for the price

    • @zyiro

    NVX Audio for a great amp at very reasonable pricing. Their subs are nice too for the money. They don't make marine speakers, but for the amp you can't go wrong.

    If you live in Bradenton,Fl. There is a boat warehouse down old hwy 301 just behind Sarasota/Bradenton airport. If you are going south it's on your right just before airport. Lots of parts new and used and price's aren't that bad.

  • @mattman4023
    @mattman4023 4 роки тому +2

    Great work on your boat looks great! My only comment is why didn’t you put the patch on the side that everyone will see? I’d add another patch on the top side so it would look cleaner and may work better keeping water out of the boat.

    Skar amps are the best bang for buck brand out there. For speakers I'd suggest you go with ether fosgate or alpine 6.5's.

    Love the vid man! I’m hoping to get a decent boat to wakeboard with soon. I was on my way home from vero beach and recognized your boat as I was passing by and my mind was blown seeing that u only live 20 mins away from me. If u ever feel like it and have time maybe we could go out wakeboarding or if u would like any free help with a project i be ecstatic to help out. Again great videos man and always look forward to the next one!

  • @Moustafa009
    @Moustafa009 4 роки тому +1

    1) Put/sew the name of the channel on the tear on the back
    2) u need to tell us the wattage of the speakers to know the wattage of the amplifier.. the one u got is decent brand.. but need the specs
    3) get the VIBe small speakers for the interior of the boat.. but I guess u should go with marine speakers as they withstand the water and salt..

  • @caveone-365
    @caveone-365 Рік тому

    Lanzar Vibe is honestly a better amp than the Sony Xplod in my experience. Closer to being more of a 'true RMS' rated amp instead of some over exaggerated peak power rating with way less RMS. Constant (RMS) is far more important than peak. If I had a choice I'd probably grab an a/d/s, Orion, or Memphis amp. Even the old school JBL amps are decent for the money.

  • @Bicketybam68
    @Bicketybam68 4 роки тому +1

    Could you possibly wrap those handles to give them a better look? It may look out of place but maybe some carbon fibre looking wrap to give them a more modern look? Either way, great video thanks for the great content.

  • @ltownandfriends4531
    @ltownandfriends4531 11 місяців тому

    nice video. in terms of amps, because its a boat you loose so much bass so i would put in 2 amps to make up for the fact that you cant contain the sound. i got a 1 channel amp that feeds a 10 inch sub and a 4 channel amp that feeds 4 coax 6.5 inch speakers. it allows you hear music in the boat while driving at speed

    Noticed that your cover sags and catches water in cover. I had this problem also. Leave an inflated tube to hold center up so water doesnt puddle.

  • @reelinwithryanoutdoors7939
    @reelinwithryanoutdoors7939 4 роки тому +1

    So I noticed that you put the bottom wake board in the wrong way round in works a lot better if you put it upside down so the top one stays upright and the bottom on goes in upside down I hope that it help you out. Btw I love your vids.

  • @ronaldheit196
    @ronaldheit196 4 роки тому

    That Sony amp is repairable. I've foxed their TV's (best there is as far as I'm concerned from an electronic tech's prospective) and amps.
    Parts are readily available and easy to test with an Itty Bitty tester I have ( yes, that's it's brand name). I hardly ever use my dual trace scope anymore. It's often the Mosfets that go or capacitors.
    That Sony is one of their top of line amp so repairing it would be worth it.
    Unless it got totally dunked in salt water. Then it's an anchor 😅😅😎

  • @jonathanabadia4377
    @jonathanabadia4377 4 роки тому

    You have to match Watts RMS, if you look at the speakers what is the ohms they produce and the Watts RMS they can hold. Wiring speakers is also tricky if you wire them in series the ohms will go higher if you wire them in parallel the ohms will go down the lower the ohms the higher Watts the amplifier will send till certain point. So my recommendation is go with a amplifier that have the same amount of channel for your total speakers, so if you have 6 speakers a 6 channels amplifier will be best. What part of florida you are located?
