Eletronic ignition, optima batteries, higher amp alternator and lots of chicks(for ballast).

Saltare, I'm not sure which chicks you're throwing in the boat, but if they make good ballast you need new chicks. :D

Lots of the "100 pound version!" You know, easily movable.

Well I would say the 2nd battery is not needed until you get a stereo. New alt is good but with no major power draw you should be okay. I mean I would upgrade both things eventually but not at first.

For me the tower came first and then FAE and ballast right after that. Then the new Prop so the boat could pull the ballast. Then the 2nd year I did the upgraded power systems and stereo.

LED's are cheap and fun to do anytime. I put a navigation light on top the tower when I installed the stereo and ran the tower speaker wires.
