SeaDek , WetSounds, and Wax

[lashburn1]

Finally got some more work done to my boat, been too busy at work to use the boat on the weekends, but I have been working on it during the week.
I had all of my tower and speakers replaced withWetsounds.
Had the 4 cockpit speakers replaced with wet sounds 650S
Each one has its own amplifier channel.
2 - REV-10s installed on the outside edge of each tower.
Each REV-10 has 2 ch bridge into it.
The factory JL 10" sub was working great ,so we kept it.

I replaced the old CLARiiON Remote with a new one, and added a remote to the swim step transom area. The CLARiiON head was already replaced with a newer CM D – 8

My fiberglass fenders were completely faded, so I buffed them out with a Maguires 67 marine rubbing compound, then waxed them with Maguires premium Marine wax, they turned out pretty well considering I was going to replace them

Looks pimp. . . . I didn't realize Mastercraft has a Jetboat in the line up.

...I know..I know.... LOL..
...Do try to Keep my Jet Post more "General" ...than MasterCraft Specific...
Since this is a 2006 MasterCraft...I figured I would post the progress of bringing it back to life..so other could see what they can do to an older Yamaha they may want to update..

Very cool. How do you like the Westounds 650s?

 

[lashburn1]

I like the XS650's so far, I had Mistakenly ordered the lower powered version XS 65i - I could tell when the I picked up the carton ... All 4 speakers felt the weight of 2 of the JLs that came with the Boat...I called WetSound asap, they told me mostly those Speakers are what Boat MFG order to put in their "WETSOUNDS" equipped standard models...

The XS 650 and XS808 (if you have the room) are the ones to get....

My factory JLs were 7" the 650's are 6.5" so a Reducer disc had to be install to look clean and Fit Proper...
Although I have a 10" JL Sub, I still Cross over the TOWER and Cockpit speakers Lower than most would....
Reason? - we don't play the Boat Stereo very Loud, but, I do like to feel low and mid Bass all the Time...So Im not really Taxing the AMPS and SPEAKERs as hard as someone looking for Top SPLs...

I have the System Zoned as FRONT FADER is all In Boat (cockpit/Bow) speakers and REAR FADER is TOWER and SUB.
I was able to Manually adjust the Front and Rear InBoat speaker ratios at the AMP to my liking...
I did the Same with the TOWER and SUB Ratio

That's a great looking boat @lashburn1. Keep the pics coming. What's she powered with? Wouldn't mind a peak under the hood if you get a chance.

This is kind of a rare Engine for MC , its a Closed Cooled Crusader 5.7 SaltWater Series...they only supplied MC with SaltWater Engines and only for a few years..Pretty cool and Bullet proof, it also has a Hose Hook up like the Yamaha so you can Flush when you are done...

The company makes a lot on Engines so most marine Mechanics are familiar with them and Parts are supposed to be easy to get...

I don't have Any Pics...yet...

Got to go out last Saturday for a test run...

Your surf wave looks excellent!

Had a 5.7 Crusader closed loop in a MC, it was a good motor but had one issue; if you overheat (when raw water impeller goes bad) it is a SOB to 'burp' the cooling system. We always had to hold the resevoir tank high and rev the motor to 5000rpm while adding coolant. I hope they fixed that issue by now. This was a 2007 or 2008 boat.

Great looking boat! Love that swim platform!

Hey, Thanks Murf!
good to know... I did, get ALL fluids changed out and a new Impeller, when I bought it, I had my local Mechanic do the pre inspection on vitals, and Full tune after I purchased it.

I just want to start out with a good base on all service info...
