I-Com VHF radio
Magma Kettle Grill
Battery Switch and House Battery

That is Lake Berryessa in Northern California. It is were we boat most of the time because it is close. we have decided to make it a point to boat more in the delta this year than years past.

Welcome! I really like that color scheme.

I did an iPod adapter on my '05. Depending on which head unit you have, you may already have an aux input hiding back there (for a "dumb" input only, not full integration).

Thanks for the heads up. I will be getting the boat out of storage next week to start prepping and will have a look. I have the Clarion with CD player and Sirius satalite.

Welcome to the forum! I too like the color scheme on your boat. That pic looks like you and the family are enjoying a little lunch...I love to do the same thing.

Tell me more about your Magma grill...like where you mount it, where you stow it, etc..

We have yet to use it (christmas present) but I intend to attach it to the bow grab rails. I have a rail mount and have seen another application like it. I will try to get a photo of it next week when I get it out of storage. I have not really decided yet where to stow it. I have found that if you try enough times eventually you find the place where it is meant to be stored and that is where it will go.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! I know you will find lots of useful (and sometimes useless) information here. That and no end of opinions, which is quite entertaining.

Cheers,

Optimus

Thanks for the comps. It looks much bigger on the trailer than in the water too. I have been looking at some 40 foot cruisers, check out one of them out of the water and then look at the same model in the water. I think it is like the iceberg 2/3 rule.
