How have you upgraded your toon?

[Xscash]

The boat is in the driveway, I'm installing the pontoon waterglide tomorrow. ...I'll take pics of the lights and grill in the morning. 1 60 ft kit was fine for me, my boat is 26 ft.

Thanks.. Blue LEDs I have on the top were a night mare. 4 foot strips. Hot pink under the deck was a 60 foot rope light.
Adding poly strips to the front, of the trailer myself so it slides better today and tomorrow for loading.
Toys and projects. What would we do without them.

led under lights are in place using 3/4X3/4 aluminum angle with ss self tappers thru the plastic track/ angle into the cross members.
the grill platform is 1/4 aluminum plate with 2 arms down to the back of pontoon. bought both grills at different times. I like them both. The table is awesome because I can come straight from the grills to the plates and people can grab what they want. keeps the sundeck clean.

Thanks for the pictures. You gave me some great ideas on my grill layout.

[Xscash]

I use one grill for burgers, which take up a lot of room, and the other for dogs and steak tips. I pre cook everything slightly and vac seal then freeze. It only takes 5 mins to cook all of it that way. We usually have a big crew so time is critical an 2 grills was a must.

1 Added 3rd toon
2 Hard Top off.....10 foot Bimini on
3 New gas tank
4 Punched out the playpen added 39 inches of more room.
5 Big grill on fold up stand, 2 burner stove w/ oven all running off a 20 pounder.
SS prep table (filler table)
6 Thursday bought a 150 hp motor, up from 85.
7 New sun deck bed w/ "U"'s

Bunch of other little things over time.

Next 2 years will redeck with the teak vinyl (vinyl 75 a foot... ouch!)
At that time will have a metal box built in between the front 2 ribs and down, with a hinged door into it built into the new floor. All for anchors.

Ok, maybe I can do something right and post it in the right place this time.
zxcash, you got a awesome boat. Love the way some of the things you have look. Enjoy, and post your upgrades often.


Been raining all weekend, had the poly for a while, so backed the trailer under the shed and installed the slip and slides.
Guides I have had on it for a few weeks but went on the inside so when it settled it would center itself on the rails. You can feel the front ones but not the back on mine anyway.
Counter sunk the stainless in the poly so should be good to go.

Day of rest tomorrow so will mount the Yamaha 115hp 4 stroke on Tuesday .

Thanks pal, seeing how others do things often leads to great ideas of your own. Love the rail slides, keep an eye on them, those ss screws will cause havoc on that aluminum if they start to show thru. Nice work.

Ya I know on the screws.
Went down and loaded it back up this morning and if any of you want to do this its a world of difference between carpet on the bulks but I almost ended up in the back of the pickup truck. God does that thing slide now.
One more addition I did for loading the boats is added two Cree 18W work lights on the back bumper. On their own switch off the battery so they don't come on with the back up lights. Wanted them on a switch by themselves.

Big fan of rear view lights at night for backing have them on the dodge, stuck them on the new ford and loading and unloading early morning on late at evening with them is so simple.
Dodge will light up the world and have 6 on that truck and tripe rear view cameras. Did added a aftermarket rear view camera to the Ford for backing under the ball.
Where would we be without toys.

Honestly, there's no way I can even begin to remember all the mods I've done. It's been a continuous flow of cash from day one. Just the TRAILER has had extensive mods:

New Axles - dual torsion tube axles, with integrated electric brakes.
Bunk Slicks
Loading Guides
Complete Electrical overhaul, including LED lights.
Welded reinforcement to the Bow Stop.
2" X 25 foot extra heavy duty ratchet strap, that keeps the boat from possibly sliding backwards on the trailer (hooks from the bottom of the transom, around the trailer frame, and back to the transom).

Question on lighting - which looks Great! Any separation issues did you have to use an additional gluing, or just stick backing?

The boat is in the driveway, I'm installing the pontoon waterglide tomorrow. ...I'll take pics of the lights and grill in the morning. 1 60 ft kit was fine for me, my boat is 26 ft.

Let us know how the waterglide turns out, I've read good and bad reviews.
