[QUOTE="thill, post: 347328, member: 4972"] First of all, GREAT post and pictures! But since you are about to do a second one, I thought I'd mention a couple of things I see... One big thing I thought should be mentioned, is that you should not mount speakers facing UP. If it rains when you are out there, the speaker cone fills with water, and even if they are waterproof, some of the water will usually work it's way into the voice coils, and no more speaker. Also, on the front platform, you made legs right to the aluminum. That creates "hard spots" that could dent the hull bottom outward if someone were to jump up on the deck. Better to put a piece of 1x4 front to back to catch all the legs, rather than having them rest on sheet metal. But nice job overall! Good looking rebuild. -TH [/QUOTE]
