[QUOTE="SLE, post: 246973, member: 3889"] Opened the garage door this morning in front of the boat to shovel out the stoop against the door, pretty sure I heard I sigh from somewhere inside the boat................... So since we're on the subject, what kind of winter boat upgrades / projects are you guys doing? For me, even though it's a new rig I still do a bunch of ticky tac things things myself. Instead of complaining about it like I did on the last boat, I installed a matching set of Kicker Marine 6.5" speakers in the bow and a second remote mounted digital head unit for the radio in the bow. Tired of blasting everyone out in back when I'm I'm trying to hear it in the front and vice versa. It'll also be nice to have a second control unit up there so I don't have to jump down to the cockpit to switch the station, flip it over to weather band, or turn the volume up or down. I made sure It was easily reachable when standing on the beach also! Added some additional rapala tool holders, one in the bow and one on the passenger side.
