I finished up a few of my projects, and then started and finished another. Take a look.

Swim Platform Rub Rail

Oznium LED under swim platform lights--No screws. Entirely held on by 3M 4200.

Stainless steel anchor

Anyone have any idea on a head faucet? I'd like to replace it with a single handle, and all I found so far is one from an '08 Sea Ray 260, but thats $130. I haven't seen anything at a home improvement store that would work in the head...

Thanks. We're not done yet! While I was flushing out the fresh water system, UPS pulled up and dropped this off.

My new step plate. Thanks for making this for me!

I have thought about adding one of those to my trailer. I trailer my boat back and forth to lake and need my trailer in pretty deep to get the boat back on right. I usually stand on the trailer when winching back up. Only feel in once so far, but would be nice to have something bigger to stand on.

Can't wait to see the bow rail LED install,GPS/Chartplotter, Radar Dome,KVH satellite system, Dinghy and Davit system, Cockpit A/C and Heat vents,Surround Sound with 2 subwoofer's and 3 amps,PS3,Autopilot,Docking Lights,Propane storage pipe bomb,Trailer guide ons, and the hydraulicaly operated stripper pole. Hope you can get all of it done before you launch.

Man, I wish I had time and money for all the mods, maybe I need to get a job flipping burgers.

Just kidding of course. :)

Its all in good fun. I think the only thing we have left is a memory foam mattress pad I'm suprising the admiral with. I got one for the boat and one for our home bed ordered.

The last house I owned, I wanted to paint. Of course, I painted it right before I sold it, and I lived there three years. After all that work and getting no enjoyment from it, there is no more waiting. I've made our new house exactly how we want it ASAP, and now I'm getting the boat all squared away on the first season.

I agree with that! I had just got my H200SS just that way I wanted it and sold it two months later. Been working the last two months getting the Baja just the way I want it so we can enjoy it all year with no regrets. Of course there is always more mods to do! :lol:

I think Shurflo makes the head/shower combo faucet. No idea what it costs.

Other brands are Scandvik and Whale. I like the feel of the Shurflo units better than Scandvik. I dislike the plastic ones entirely as they just feel cheap.

Regardless of brand, they're just plumbing fixtures. There's not much difference between them and a regular one at home. The biggest difference is how the water lines are connected. The plastic tubing fittings are usually just attached to 1/2" NPT thread adapters. You usually won't have to disconnect the tubing at all (but it's easy to do anyway).

Nice move there making 3, 4, 7, 25 posts all about the same thing. That anchor "mod" must have been brutally hard.

Are you converting all the stainless at the store to boat parts or something?? Good lord, what did that anchor set you back? Aren't those things like a grand or is corporate trying to figure out why your store needs another stainless steel prep table. :D
