Getting close there king!!! Looking great!!!

I wish i bonded them out i would of taken ther money and then thrown them back in jail a couple of days later just to screw with them.

Your hard work and attention to detail is really paying off. Thats going to be one sweet ride when your done. Do you plan to seal up the open end tubes and wiring holes in the t top? I would think a bought using white tub and tile caulk rather then 5200 its easer to work with and would come out a lot easer then 5200 if you need to add a cable at a later date.

Wow!! Looking good!!

Wiley Do you have the bandwidth to steam it live?

FloridaR is correct. A oversized unit will short cycle and leave the humidity behind. When a home is getting AC a heatload calculation is preformed to keep such things from happing. An AC coil will only freeze if air flow thru it is is severely restricted or it has a freon leak.

I sure never found anything in the bilge that was intresting. The sandbar however had some nice looking gals.

Well looking at the NBDC Forcast for South East Florida i will just stay home and do some home and boat maintinance. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS52.KMFL.html

Boy you sure find some good deals!! I would do it for sure at that price.

Making good progress there king. I love the look of the powdercoat. If done right the powder coat holds up well. The first issue most see with the powdercoat is at the fasteners. stainless screws and snaps should have a plastic or rubber washer where they contact the powdercoat to help prevent that. Good luck and keep us posted on the progress.

Wow ya thats pretty cool. Sure does bring back some memories.

You are one of the smart ones. i was coming in one night a few weeks ago and some yahoo had his spots on like driving lights coming out of the channel. i just stopped and waited for him to go by. I wanted to give him a piece of my mind but my wife was on board and i decided it was not worth it.

Not my boat but this is what i am doing on my world cat

Its really the only answer that will work if you want to use it while underway. Not only does the chrome reflect the light back at you the entire deck is illuminated wich blinds you as well.

Relocate it to the bow???

That was my problem the geometry did not go in my favor i had to go above the beam. Its all good

I am not wanting to start anything either this is just a friendly disscussion. I got to read your post before the delete. I did a lot of research on this matter when i did my install i belive in the garmin gps manual it states that the attennas are best mounted above the radar beam. That said i know that a lot of people have them mounted below and they do work. http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/GPSMAP3005C...nstructions.pdf

I believe that is a no no when you have a radar Or so all the MFG instruction manuals say. I wanted to put mine flush on the top but researched it at the time and the general consensus was that it was not a good idea

When setting up my boat I looked at a similar mount and setup but i decided against it because of the height. When my boat is on the trailer the hardtop is 12'3" I needed to stay low for clearance when trailering. One small tree branch and that mast is history.

Agreed it does look ok and will work. I was just thinking it would look more symmetrical if the antennas would have fit flush on the flat part of the mast. And it would have put his light well above the antennas. ALL The reason i visit this site and other forums is looking for ideas and suggestions. I believe that was kingairs intention as well. We can all see that his mount it will work however its nice to get other ideas too.

My XM antenna is a puck just like the gps. I have a diffrent kinda of set up let try to post a pic. Xm is is the one on the right.

I just looked at the first pics again. and I don't think the flat part of the mast is wide enough to mount them flush so I think you got it right. Sorry should have just kept my idea to myself. Sorry

No that looks fine for the light height. However I still think it would look better with the antennas flush mounted. With your setup there is no benifit to using the bases.

Neat idea but i would change one thing if it were doing it for myself. I would just mount the gps and sirius antenna flat. With out the base. So that the light is well above the antenna. I think it would look and function better.
