    What are your winter projects?

    Mine are as follows......

    1. stereo with tower speakers

    2. upgrade and replace aging guages (hopefully adding PP)

    3. Interior lighting and eletrical outlet for ballast pumps at rear

    4. If I have any money left I want to build an auto ballast system

    All of this is on my 83 2001.......

        Not on a CC but:

        Upgrade to '07 billet switches.
        Remove tribal graphics.
        Get Sampson illusion-x mirror
        Fix tower lights. (I swear never again!)
        Send back 6x9 tower speakers for replacement. (chrome is chipping off of the tweeters.)
        Bow Ballast install.
        How about \"Chales\"?

          Really the only winter project I have planned is some LED lights. We thought about removing the big Air graphics on the side, but still debating on that one.

            I have the following on my list for the winter;

            1. upgrade to the FCT gen.2 tower (2000-2003 version). BTW, I'll have a 99 FCT for sale if anyone's interested...
            1a. Get some board racks
            1b. New tower mount mirror

            2. Remove hard ballast tanks in the trunk and replace with fat sacs.

            3. Install ski locker sac.

            4. Upgrade ballast pumps.

            5. Remove windshield and refinish the frame.

            6. Either have my current Sunbrella cover modified, or get in on the GB Rankin deal.

            7. Tower bimini

            8. General cleaning and detailing.

            All this work on our 99 Pro Air.

                      RE: Re: What are your winter projects?

                      Well once I get my boat back from CC I plan on removing the AIR decals from the sides and completely detail the gelcoat again. Most all my winter projects are being done by CC as warrenty work. Long story, but CC asked for my dealer to send the boat to them cause they could do it themselves for about the same price as the dealer even after shipping it there and back. I have no problems, because now I know it will be fixed correctly by the manufacturer. CC has been great to deal with so far by the way... Thumbs up the Steve Mask in customer service. PDT_001

                        The program/master module for WB Pro and Digital Pro is the same. The only difference is the smart timer (magnet pickup) or handtimer used for Digital Pro. You just pick one or the other the first time you start the system up. WB Pro 6.5ng has a rec slalom rpm based setting if you ever decide to let a slalom skier in your boat. :grin: If you go in digital pro mode, it includes wakeboard pro in the settings.
