I started with a new switch panel from FP and installed all new switches. I then ordered the covers from https://rockerswitchpros.com/switch-actuators/. They have a configurator tool where you can select from a number of different text and or image etchings.

The 12" MFD is mounted on a blank panel I got from Technografix, if I remember correctly, and then bribed the spousal unit to cut and route. Next to the MFD, are a quick chain counter and remote card slots from Garmin.

Great looking boat - That's got to be a monster for Lake Cumberland

Thanks, I think it is one of the best layouts Sea Ray ever done. Cumberland is bigger than most people think, More shore line than Fl. The bigger boat makes it nice when your on the hook for days. But I'm not telling you anything you don't already know LOL. The hardest thing was getting use to backing it in our slip, It is 18' wide,42' deep, covered. So I have a bit sticking out. Installed the Yacht controller about 2 months after getting it. Worth every penny. Wife and I handle it all the time with no help.

Completely understand. I grew up boating on Cumberland, mostly around Connely Bend area but would run as far as our 19' bow rider would let us or until we ran out of beer back in those days. I assume you're at Jamestown? I really like Cumberland and it's on our potential retirement list, if it only had access to the river systems it would be 100% for me.
Great boating weather will be there soon.

We are at Conley Bottom. Sorta in the middle of the lake so a nice day cruise gets you to either end and back. Conley is more quite and layed back than State dock and Jamestown. If you ever get close look us up. Would be nice for river access.But being tied up in a nice cove with 10 or 12 other boats for the weekend makes up for it.

I greatly enjoyed the dichotomy of your two posts today - 1.) "more shoreline then Florida" and then 2.) being in the middle allows you to get "to either end and back" in a day. Rather illuminating on how they are measuring shoreline in Lake Cumberland!

It takes quite a boat to get from Jacksonville to Miami and back in a day! :):)

I always liked Larson. Congrats. What sailboat? While back I fell in love with a late 80’s Pearson 31 but the wife wasn’t having any part of a sailer. I still have the brochure and pull it out when she ain’t around.

too bad Larson and Rinker bit the dust this past year they boat made great boats. perhaps they resurface the way Chris Craft and Carver did.

I googled the same, hence my post. I wasn't challenging your position only commenting on the way it's measured. Lake Cumberland is 30 miles long if you drive down the middle....Florida is, well, a bit longer...
 
This is our boat. My wife and I had a great first year with her last season. We learned a ton (our first ever boat), met great people, and ventured out for some longer trips up and down the Chesapeake Bay.

We’re looking forward to another great season and planning several week long trips this summer. This season can’t come fast enough!
