    New Boat needs some additions

    I just purchased a 2004 CC Super Sport. I have read its just about the same as the 210 Air. Anyway I want to add several items that this boat did not come with. I made a list and I'm not sure I'll do it all but I want to investigate and need advice.

    Adding automatic ballast tanks
    Mirror
    Shower
    Heater
    Bimini top
    Boat cover is a must, very wooded parting place.

      Congrats
      I am doing most of those things with my "new" 2002 super sport

      Someone is selling a heater on here, just search for it. I have seen it in the last few days. Otherwise I believe west marine sells the same heater.

      If you are putting a tower on I would install the mirror on the tower. Contact Ian at onlyinborads.com. He gives a discount to PN members and has been a wealth of information. I went with the Samson Edge tower, although most go with the OEM new dimensions towers.

      Shower questions: that is the one thing I am not doing to my boat (at least yet), I imagine there are threads on this topic here.

      Bimini top: Once again, if you are putting on a tower, order it hten so it is fixed to match. If there is already a tower, I know that there are threads here where people are very happy with several different companies.

      Automatic ballast tanks: We have the same boat so my plan may be viable for you as well
      I am placing a bow sac under thr front seats, a belly bag in the ski locker, and two 750# sacs on each side of the V-drive
      I am using a reversible Jabsco pump for each bag
      Two 1 1/4 inch thru hulls with shut off ball valves tapering into a maniforld supplying two bags each with 1" d1ameter hosing. thru hull and ball valve bronze, and I am not sure if I am going to be using nylon fittings for the rest (my project for the day) Venting hoses will be 3/4 inch with CC stainless steel mushroom vents to match original. I will post a complete parts list when I have it all mapped out.

      One thing to consider is to upgrade the prop if you are running with a ballast. from my discussions with delta props, the ACME 1464 is the prop you want to get adequate hole shot.

      Hope this helps. I will be posting more as the projects progress

              ballast tanks, Shower, Heater Don't know anything about these...

              Mirror definitely tower mounted.

              Bimini top No ifs, ands, or buts. Must have. Now just determine if YOU want an over the tower or under the tower. towerbimini.com is the place to go. I am passionately over the tower, but there are many equally passionate about under.

              Boat cover is a must regardless of the trees. I recommend if possible having some sort of shelter (ie. garage, etc) A boat cover is only going to do so much. And don't go cheap on this one. Your investment is at stake.

                          Monster cargo bimini must be screwed into the tower (i.e., you must drill into your tower). I sent the one I ordered back for this reason. It may not matter to you, but I did not want to drill into my tower. I believe that Towerbiminis.com has clamp on biminis. That said, monster honored its 30 day money back policy with me without hassle, so that is a good sign.

                                  Towerbinimis

                                  I have read many post and http://www.towerbiminis.com/ has the edge on all tops. However I was thinking the cargo type was more versatile. I know the Monster Tower has to be drilled and I'm not sure that is bad thing when its mounted on a monster tower that's all aluminum. The cargo area would great for storing tubes. I think if the boat has the newer Roswell tower I'd have more reservations.
                                  I'm not sure who is making the Correct Craft towers now but they are very different from the monster style. Does tower bimini make the cargo type?
