Here is the table I made. Took about an hour to cut, sand, and stain, then 24 hours to dry. Cost about $25.00 in lumber and a small can of stain. Works great...

You just gave me an idea for next season Neutron. Gonna make one similiar to the one in your pic, gotta make it U-Shaped seat friendly tho.

year mine worked great for my configuration, cause the back part just rested on the engine cover. when not in use we stored it along the starbord seats out of the way. The edge was routered nicely also. my friend made it for the boat for me

Those look nice. It looks like I may have some work for this winter...

On the other hand, I just installed my Fusion 700 head unit, what an upgrade! The trash stock speakers were even keeping up under full speed with the clean power it was putting out. On another note, next summer a new alpine pdx 4.100 and polk mm 651's will be providing the music!

I had it out twice last weekend running up and down the river. People always act like gas is killer on the boats so I put in $80 worth, and it last me 3 hours at cruise speed ~32-34mph, and 3 hours at no wake speed. I was left with about $20 worth of gas, so I don't see what all the fuss is about! I'm loving the boat it is PERFECT for my needs!

Just a suggestion. For a cockpit table, we went with a side mount. Many of the new boats are going with this style rather than the floor mounted type. I installed one this spring, and we love it. You could also just buy the mounting bracket and table leg, and make your own custom table to save a few $'s. The leg and table stow away easily in our ski locker.

I like it! Especially like the idea of getting rid of the pole in my floor...

Joe, it's uncanny how much our boats look alike. (well apart from that cuddy vs bowrider detail) :D
