      Ryan,

      Im not going to argue with you, but rather ask that you, to yourself and self only, actually prove my statements false.

      A) drop a plumb bob from the center hole of each inside speaker mounting spot and see where it hits the floor. Next, measure the distance between the two strings. Now, knowing the OD of the Rev 10, calculate the distance between the speakers if they where there. I think you will see that leaves little room to walk through.

      Next, take an x-mount pod and try to bolt it flush to that plate

      Quote: "This mounting setup is what has kept me from getting a second set of rev10s on clamps. I would bump my head on the inside set. 6" tucked in further against the outside set flush mounted might work"

      This statement makes no sense to me, because it sounds as if you are agreeing with me about the inner spots. I Know you are not agreeing in any way shape or form. The inner pair is spread out as far as they can go, while allowing for the 2nd set. Mounted in the inner factory spots, even my short @$$ would bump my head.

      Further in would be away from the outer set.

        MLA you confused inner/outer sets twice.

        I am asking is if its possible to move that inner set further out to better avoid head bumping. they'd each be further out approx 6" each out and 2-3" higher if the fitment issues flush mount to OEM plates could be solved. nearly a foot more headroom combined AND the inner set would be higher.

        You are so defensive over your work you cant focus. And yes, the way you have your inner set mounted IS exactly why I dont have a 2nd set. I want no part of that.

          "I am asking is if its possible to move that inner set further out to better avoid head bumping"

          How should i know, im wrong, remember? But since you clarified now, which OEM spot you are referring to, i can answer.....no. The inner pod's clamp is flush against outer OEM mounting plate. Moving the inner pod to the outer mounting plate, would force the outer speaker even lower. This may not hold true for a smaller pod, but it does with the Rev-10

          Heres a pic that clearly shows the location of the inner pod in relation to the inner and outer OEM spot. For a single pair like you have, sure, use the outer OEM spots. If headroom is a concern, then you do something different. The outer pods are only a few inches lower then the inners. Only way to bump your head on the outer, is to walk in the seat. The inner pods are right over the edge of the seats, so they are as far apart as possible with this setup.



          Not sure what this has to do with anyone"s work?

            You can buy the 2015 shattered decal from your dealer.....if that is of interest.

              Additionally I would consider color matching the trailer if one will be part of the package, white or the chosen hull color would look great IMO, Jeff's latest PN G as an one example. Windshield frame/tower and if included, Z5 Bimini frame, all matching colors can add a nice touch, if chrome/polished then perhaps the tower matching the chosen color and Bimini matching windshield.

              Good luck whatever you choose
              Thanks. Maybe I will just post up a poll. But I hate to jack up my first thread, and start another on its back. Maybe if we sidetrack enough with all things G series related, then we could do that.

              My dealer has this Blue metal flake in stock G25. Beautiful boat. I am not a fan of the black bottom. Every once in a while I will pull it up on some soft sand in a pinch, and I am worried the black will also show every rock chip from the road. Lots of new construction where I live, so plenty of rocks to go around.



              BTW, I am 6'9" tall and it makes me look average or short if you don't realize the size of the boat. What a beast!

              I could see blue being more popular...University of Kentucky/Duke sorts of folks.

                After fueling up a G on a trailer I can personally say you are not tall, your a freaking giant.

                  Suggest if you have an informed answer then just give it. Else keep to yourself. If you think the way you've acted on here is good for your business, good luck with that.

                    Wow, yea I see the bump on your head from walking through standard door openings, lol

                    That Blue looks very nice. The other thing with color wetted surface is if you drive on/off the trailer it most likely will create visible scratches like beaching, they look great by require extra care.

                      So my dealer drives up yesterday with this boat: The midnight blue is very nice. I could easily imagine red and white here with this exact pattern as well.

                        This blue one looks great, not too keen on the white trailer though. Perhaps blue canvas for the bimini?? All in all, thinking about ease of resale is great, but make sure YOU love it first, all depending on how long you think you'll keep the boat. Btw, you are freaking tall! ;-)

                          I am personally partial to that blue (my 210 is the same blue), but I can't see you in anything other than "U" red. Just pull the trigger already so I've got an excuse to come north and get a ride.

                            If I had to choose between a red boat or the navy blue shown I would choose the red one all day long. I am not a fan of the white hull but that is just me... the blue looks a little 1999 to me but in person it may look completely different!!

                              That Blue & white is Classy! better with a black hull, but still very nice with the white.
                              Id take that over red all day.

                                I like the blue and white a lot.

                                On graphics, I think resale value might be an issue if you own the boat for a relatively short period (e.g. 0-2 or 3 years). After some time has passed, I don't think it'll be an issue wrt making the boat look one year older as people will forget the specific year various graphics packages came out. I suppose a few will research it, but I'm guessing that's a small minority. If you think you'll keep the boat more than a few years, I'd recommend getting the graphics that you like. Personally, I'm not a fan of the shattered graphic.
