The official "What did you do to your jet boat today" thread.

3 days of fun
Added 2 shelves to my head storage area
Added an old amp I had laying around to power my second sub and cleaned up my amp board
Installed ws420

@Benny Sibbitt do you have time to take some pics of the left side of that wire shelf? I just can’t get a vision for what to do with screws over there. It just feels so thin to me. How deep is the shelf? What are you using to attach the shelf, just standard clip mounts that come with that wire shelving?

I put the boat back in storage
There is a wood divider on both sides where I attached the shelf to
I used 4 eye hooks and zip ties to attach the shelf. Feels pretty solid. I would never put anything heavy that high up anyways. The wire shelf used was 12” deep I believe / just your standard closet shelf.

Thanks. I’m just going to have to make myself do it, I guess. (After I get a few more outings under my belt, first. ).

Little ball valve set up. Others did it, thought it was a good idea. No more running to hit the hose, just reach down and hit the valve.

I started off like that but it started leaking. I ended up getting these from Amazon. These worked great!

Quick question. Is that carpet factory? Ever since purchasing my '99 LS2000 back in March I have had the idea to install some type of carpeting similar to that under the two helm bins down inside the hull as a form of sound deadening and also to provide a cleaner look and storage area for larger items.

Yes, all the carpet in my boat is factory.

The storage area carpet is a VERY thin with no backing. I still like it a little better than a finished fiberglass storage area. Keeps the rattles down a little.

That's what my 12 year old is for! ?

Me and my helper Installed 2 bank battery charger with thru hull outlet. I decided to place the outlet in the rear storage.








Also did the Ridesteady full-time sync update. Very simple to do and @Ridesteady made it extremely convenient. They included the flash drive, instructions and a return shipping envelope. Just wham bam done...

Removed factory snaps, carpets and rear mats.

Installed new darker full set of Seadek from @JetBoatPilot

YouTube is one way. I've been baffled to post Instagram videos by copying the link and then inserting it via the media insert here. I think there's a way to do FB...? That's one for the admins.

I installed Ve-Ve trailer guides yesterday (65"). Undermounted them. Pretty simple install.

The installation of the trailer guides and the the Cobra Jet Super Ultimate AK-19 system is part of the plan to recruit my wife on to the boat launch and retrieval team. Currently, that team has one member: me. The goal is to have one of us handle the truck/trailer and one of us handle the boat. This should make things easier and quicker, particularly at a busy launch ramp.
