Theyre trying hard as a company but I still dont find them close to a CC by any means in my book.

I just added a link to the actual scores in the first post of this thread. It looks like the only section where Correct Craft didn't get a perfect score is the Sound System section.

Wouldn't it be great if Correct Craft would partner with Wet Sounds? Can you imagine a boat that came from the factory with Wet Sounds speakers, amps, and tower speakers? They could even integrate a WS420 into the dash somehow. I think even having that as an option would certainly put them at the top of the stereo section next year.

That was nice of them to make 2 dots the worse, doesn't look so bad.

mc uses jl amps and speakers. i think the towers, amps, and sub is better than the polks, but i have not heard the new system in cc yet. it would make sense for the best wake/ski boat to team with the best marine audio. the guys at ws are so pro its a perfect match especially on wake 'specific' boat like 210.

I wish Nautique would partner with Wet Sounds. It seems most Nautique owners outfit their boats with at least WS tower speakers. I am probably going to pull both my stock Polk amps and replace them with SYN amps. I doubt I will change the sub and in boat speakers though. I would imagine WS would have to alter the product slightly so it is unique to CC.

Tige is a partner with Wet Sounds. I believe Chapparel is too.

That would probably also my #1 option on a 2010 Nautique... A WetSound system from factory!





Together with a ZeroOff with current/paddle wheel option.
