We removed all outdated equipment from the boat and upgraded the entire marine audio and connectivity system. Installed a new stereo and marine puck controller with up to 80 feet of Bluetooth range, featuring four independent audio zones for customizable sound throughout the boat. Added a Starlink system mounted to the arch of the boat to provide reliable phone and Wi-Fi connectivity, even in remote coves on the lake.
Replaced all existing speakers and added two additional 6.5” JL Audio speakers, along with a 10” subwoofer to enhance low end bass and overall sound quality. The entire system is powered by two Kicker amplifiers for clean, powerful audio performance.
To support the upgraded system, we installed two deep cycle marine batteries separate from the starting batteries to ensure reliable power without affecting engine starting capability. A NOCO onboard charging system was also added to keep the batteries fully charged whenever the boat is connected to shore power.
