    Default Under $100 Mods

    So I wanted to start a thread about cheap mods that you can do to your boat. There may not be too many, but I am always looking for something new to, but not spend a ton of money. If anybody has any good ones, post em up. I dont think there is a need for any instructions in this thread, just ideas!

    I have to admit that I got the idea from jonyb but I put LED's in all of the cup holders, in the bow, and across the bottom of the rear bench seat for probably about $50 and a few hours.

    Default Amp Rack

    I forgot to put my Amp Rack. That was less than $100 as well. Probably cost about 30-50.

    Tay lets see some pictures of your LEDs! Nice job!

    I would recommend the Monster Tower tower-top navigation light. It is inexpensive $35 with 5 year warranty. It is just incandescant though, you need to spend about $100 for an LED version I believe. Low power usage. Wiring can be a pain, depending on if you are already wired for lights or if you are running speakers its nice to do at the same time and ok for same tower leg.

    The LEDs are an awesome cheap upgrade, where ever you put them. I dont have a pic of the whole boat in the dark but here is a taste of what the LEDs look like. I will try to get a better pic when I get the boat put back together here in the coming weeks!

    A few under $100 mods, flag holder (in down position), speaker sox "SUPRA" tower speaker covers/wakeboard rack covers, and gator grip on the top deck of the boat. The gator grip is awesome, especially with the Z-5 when you need to tie something down or quickly grab something...prevents a lot of injuries! So far it has been bulletproof.

    I also did the LED cupholder after seeing John's.

    Details and photos (plus the mounting of my WS-420) are in this thread from
    last year:

    jonyb, how'd you manage to do the under-platform LED's? Did you do it yourself? Was it difficult? Did you create them their own seperate switch? It scares me drilling gaping holes below the waterline, haha. And please tell me you did it for less than $100
