 So this isn't a DIY site? This isn't a site were people come together and find solutions to making our expensive hobby as affordable as possible? I like the GSA tabs just not the controller. and at 2k for the tabs I find that a huge markup. as i have found guys that will make them for 1k they just need measurements.

Yes to everything above.  And there are some insanely great innovations and collaboration here, sometimes better than what you can buy.  But we try to steer away from posting exact dimensions or cad drawings of products that others work hard to produce if that makes sense.  Your best bet is to go to a dealer with a tape measure.  All good my friend, and welcome to the site.

Any chance you could get me dimensions on these gsa tabs looking to recreate the exact tabs and not have to use a gsa system. Thanks

That's not what we look to do here on this site.  

Beautiful job! 

Missed this.  Hyperryd sells these now which makes it even easier.  Nice job

That's a smart idea.  Nice

Nice work.  Definitely nice to have that upgrade.

That came out really nice.   Nothing better than taking something from worn to brand new.  Nice job.  Hell of a deal on sandblasting and painting.   Thanks for the post/share

That's really cool.   Well done.  Looks simple but solid and very functional.  Awesome

Well done.  That looks amazing!   That's pretty cool you were able to send your own .dwg file.  I might think about that for mine.  And you might have made the next person with your boat happy if they keep the file.

Man you really planned that well.  That's an unbelievable system.  But love the finishing touches (HRD rack straps on batteries, painted Rev10 cans, laser cut dash panel).  But are you sure a dozen high end Wet Sounds with a giant sub is enough sound?  haha

Sometime soon I will be removing the windshield and seeing if I can squeeze 8s in the dash. Haven't seen anyone else do it yet. But doesn't mean it can't be done. Lol

I thought about the same.  I looked at it a few years ago but don't remember what I concluded.  Think it largely depends on the speaker brand / style/ size of basket, etc.   You go first. 

Wow those just squeezed in there.  NIce.   I upgraded most of my 6.5s as well... but the remaining are in the seat back (rear bench).  I'd have to make a new plastic insert/backer for it.  But it sure is tempting.  

Very cool!  Nice work

Nice job!  Looks awesome. 

Nice work.  Can't wait to see the final back on the boat

WOW.  Nope... but always wondered how hard that would be to split the hull.   Dude... you gotta post more pics and write up! 

Looks awesome! 

Awesome thread.  What did you end up using for your resin?  Is that epoxy or poly based?    What oz matte?   I would not have thought to layer like that.  Very helpful to see that.  That's a lot of work !!

Do you have any pictures of the wake? How did it surf? I have the same hull trying to dial in. 

Yes -- but to be honest I think most wake pics are worthless because there are too many variables with timing, speed, push, and board choice and skill level.  Overall the boat surfed pretty well...   We had a lot of fun with it and it's the boat my kids learned to surf with.   If I remember, it didn't like a lot of bow ballast... we used most weight in the rear and used a ballast bag in the walkway.

Holy crap.  My newest favorite thread.  That's a  lot of work.

Would be awesome if you could elaborate a little more on the repair process. 

Amazing work.  That's a great boat!    Are you flipping or keeping?

@Rugger What was the distance you dropped the pipe below the bottom of the hull? Is there a sweet spot for how low it goes? Obviously has to clear the wedge as well. Any cavitation issues on the wedge with it exiting above it? Taking inspiration from yours I’m in the process of building my own surf exhaust that converges into a single outside the hull and dumps inside the wedge like yours. 

I don't have a specific measurement.  I think I aimed for the center of the prop.   One mistake I made, you can learn from, is to make the cut angle of that single pipe a little less.  Mine does kick sound out ( a little) when turning sometimes.   But I would keep the front edge where it is and just cut less aggressive angle so back edge isn't so high.... if that makes sense.   All in all - I'm the only one that notices.

That looks great!  Nice job

This is awesome... I keep thinking of endless dash ideas after this

hell yes.  Love it.  I thought of trying this too.... glad someone finally did it!

NIcely done. 99%?  That's a heck of a discount!   I think the large bore holes looks cooler than original too.  Great project.
