How you doing boys! I though some of you might get a laugh outta this. I'll be in Big Bear for the 4th of July weekend staying in a badass cabin (rental) right on the lake with my whole immediate family and my sister's husbands immediate family. There will be somewhere around 18 of us. Well the only reason I want to have a float up there is for the firework show. I'll be doing little more than floating near the dock on an inner tube all weekend and I don't want have to stress about one of my jet boats getting filled with sand, scratched or sinking.
So I'm bringing this instead...

It's a '66 whaler and it does 33 mph at sea level. It's my beater fishing boat that I don't have to worry about. The beauty of it is I don't care if it gets dirty or scratched and it can't sink (you've seen the commercials). The funny thing is with the exception of the hull it's a brand new boat. Brand new Evinrude with steering and controls. Brand new fish finder, VHF, trailer, dialed in 45 gallon live well.
The only thing it was missing was a stereo so I ordered a JBL Marine stereo, one of the round ones that takes up the place of a tach and two 6.5" JL Audio marine speakers. If anyone just wants a simple stereo that sounds fantastic and you don't want to worry about people turning it up to loud and blowing the speakers, then this fits the bill. With the stereo turned all the way up there is no distortion at all. I'm totally stoked on the speakers and head unit. It's no where near the loudest but it's super clear.
Anyways, happy 4th of July everybody. 'Merica!
Bonus Pic: now I've got some tunes when we're out doing this...
