It seems like 99% of the threads on here are dealing with mechanical issues and making sure our boats perform perfectly, maintenance is up to date and how-to's for fixing mechanical things. All of these things are by far the most important things that will ensure a happy boating experience.
How about a thread of all the cool things we've done do our boats which make them unique, more fun to enjoy and adds a little curb appeal. For example, take my wife. She has about zero interest in how important propping a boat is, or EGTs, or a lengthy discussion diagnosing the color of the exhaust coming out of the boat. But if you want talk SeaDek coloring and changing to black canvas, well she is all in. My 16 yr old definitely has an interest in boating and engines but want to really get his attention? Let's talk about adding a multi zone stereo with numerous speakers, amps and subs. Added bonus, LED lights and maybe even rope lighting under the aft seating.
So my point to this is how about we have this thread for everyone to show off the customizations they've done to their boats. Could be adding a stereo, lighting, changing the color scheme of the canvas, under water lights, new dash gauges, etc.
I'm hoping some of you get the reference to the title of the thread. I think it was early-mid 90's MTV had a show "Pimp My Ride" where they would do the craziest things to cars. The work was impressive, the practicality, well, not so much.
I'd start us off but I currently don't have a boat!
