    Stereo amp wire install

    About to install a 4 channel amp to power 4 6.5 speakers. Currently my boat has two batteries connected to a manual battery switch(not ACR). For the amp power wire do I connect to one of the batteries directly or to the battery switch?

    Is YDIS like mercury vessel view?

    My last boat had a 115 mercury and I installed vessel view mobile that connected to my phone via Bluetooth. It worked out great for my needs. Now that I uave a yamaha I was wondering if there was something similar. Saw that you can buy a YDIS Bluetooth dongle. Curious if anybody has done this?

    Tritoon vs Deck boat

    The tritoon pretty much cut through <2feet of chop with barely noticing it. The deck boat you feel the pounding. Now anything bigger than 2 feet the tritoon would take on water over the bow where the deck boat usually stay dry

    Making extra step for ladder

    I also thought about using starboard too. I know starboard has some buoyancy just not sure if it would have more buoyancy than wood. I do plan on adding some metal plate backing to the bottom of the step

    St Mary's Ohio Lake

    Yep seaweed was horrible last year. Few times I had to raise the motor to untangled the seaweed. It was pretty much unusable for jet drive boats/jet ski

    Tahoe boat

    I was in the market for similar boats and looked at that same model. The 2 negatives that made me pass was the smaller beam width and only 1100 people weight capacity. Might not be an issue for you

    Factory holes in stringers?

    Just seems weird that they would leave the holes open. Almost feel like I should close them up with caulk

    Factory holes in stringers?

    from what I read nauticstar is 100% wood free so I am guessing the stringers are foam filled

    Factory holes in stringers?

    looking at a 2017 nauticstar and when I looked underneath I saw some holes on the top of the stingers. The holes are filled with foam. I assume this was done at the factory. Does that seem right?
