The Super Air "Box"

[gotwake]

It seems that everyone wants to make use of this space - so here's what I did:

P.S. Thanks goes out to Whitechocolate, and Dan at Extreme Powersports

I added lights to the inside of the box that are wired to the courtesy light switch

Nice Work!!!...I like the N emblem you were able to put in the box. That turned out great!! Side Note: Are you bringing your boat to Ottawa May 1st? Are you even going? Looking forward to seeing your boat and hearing that system of yours!!

[gotwake]

Thanks - pretty pleased with it as well. Converting to the dual batteries is something I've wanted to do for a while. Right now it looks as if Ottawa is a go - really looking forward to riding, especially after taking it out for a "test" run this weekend.

That is awesome! How did you get that "N" emblem there? Really nice setup, looks great!

[gotwake]

Thanks - I made the entire box out of the marine board (no fiberglass skills here) and cut the "N" out on a scroll saw. Screwed it to the box, covered it in carpet. I'll probably re-do the "N" later (had some new ideas) but for now - let's get riding!

Not to get off the subject, where did you get the carpet that you have laid on top of your standard carpet?

Extreme Power Sports - There are actually two carpets - one that extends under the driver's feet and another that fits in the open area to the rear of the drivers seat. (photo's will help - I'll see if I can get some) I know they make them to fit DD boats as well. They look sharp and do a great job of protecting the boat carpeting. The two sections connect via velcro which I am changing to snaps. (the adhesive on the velcro doesn't last)

Wow thats very nice. Nice job. Im very impressed at the quality of work some people are doing. DIY-ers are takeing over. Install shops watch out.
Its cool to see people take it to the next level and take pride in there work. I can see a trend starting where people are starting to take the install of there stereo as important as what they put in. Simpley building a square box and throwing a sub and amp in your boat is rapidly becoming non existant. People are starting to raise the bar, I think its all good.
Mabey Nautique will some day get a clue that the Factory Kicker upgrade is a Joke. And that people will spend the money you just got to give them somthing worth spending it on.

I sent EPS an e-mail about the carpet, but no word back. You never know when you send to a generic e-mail address when or if you will ever hear back. Is it a factory thing or do they just have someone do it for them? I love it.....

Side note, not bashing EPS at all.... Just made the statement as a general "when you e-mail someone from their website"

It has only been a few hours.....I don't expect them to drop everything....

It must be a factory thing. I met a guy on the water the other day that had those, and he's from North Carolina. I had never seen them before.

I love it.... One of the first comments from my wife about the Super....and pretty much all towboats in general.... "No snapout carpet."

[NautiqueJeff]

I bet when they come out with the new Super Air, it will have snap-out carpet like the 211. That is a nice feature.

The snap out carpet was one of the big drawbacks about the tow boats vs. i/os. My wife and I decided we wanted the tow boat more than the snap in carpet, and now that I have seen more of the boats with snap in carpet, I think the fully carpeted deck actually looks more finished. Sure it is a lot more work cleaning it though.

I saw those floor mats at the dealer in Austin (Sail & Ski). I think the price was about $500, and it was a one piece design that covered the whole floor except the bow. it even had Nautique embroidered in it. They also had a few rectangle ones on the showroom flor to wipe your feet off before getting in the boats.
