FINCHASER Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Would love to see how everybody is laying out MFD, VHF and stereo on them so post some pics of yours. Ive seen some put the small type stereo head units next to the 6yc gauge instead of on the face of the console. Any alternate locations for the VHF other than an electronics box in the T top?

BradM Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 This is all I have of the dash on this computer, but that's a Garmin 7610 on the left, JL Audio MM100s on the top right and Garmin VHF under that, I cant remember the model of the VHF, but it ties into my MFD. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINCHASER Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Looks good.... I assume thats a 10" MFD? Looking a little tight space wise if going with a 12" but that VHF looks to be on the large size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking a little tight space wise if going with a 12" but that VHF looks to be on the large size 7610 is a 10” unit. I don’t use it often, so I’m fine with the size. As for the VHF, I’ve never turned it on. The dealer installed it upon arrival, and I wish it were never there. A handheld would have been fine for me as I don’t leave the river (Jacksonville, FL) or the ICW. Tell me the dimensions of the unit you want to install and I call pull measurements, my boat is at my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINCHASER Posted February 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Id appreciate that Brad... 13.93" wide x 9.25 tall. Really curious as to how much real estate is left if the unit is mounted on the farthest point of one side for mounting other electronics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful..... But, I think you have more $ in your steering wheel, gauges, radio, and various GARMIN's than I have in my entire skiff Well done DC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin-addict Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Very nice layout. OFF TOPIC, would love to see pics of what others have done to their boats to make them their own. Like diy projects added to boat. Had a member a few years back “HOBO” who built many Starboard items for his sled. He did fantastic work and great ideas. Miss his postings. Very inspiring and unique to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pull dimensions from the inside and snap a few pics. This will show the inside radii around the edges, which will be all telling. Thanks DC, but, but....I have no excuses. The timing was right, and it was an upgrade now or in 10 years thing, so we pulled the trigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm just jealous....it's truly a thing of beauty...you did the right thing...upgrade when manufacture vs aftermarket...it never looks the same. dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradM Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 There's a 25 Hybrid listed in the for sale section with a 7612, which is a 12" screen and then pic PB Special posted...It's been raining for 2 days here and I didn't trek through my swamp of a backyard last night to get dimensions. Maybe tomorrow evening if it dries out by the time I get home. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyB Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I’m gonna show mine off too. I really enjoy the clarion head unit with Bluetooth that I installed. The head unit that came in the boat was in the console and did not have Bluetooth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve posted several things in the past, but stopping to take pictures when “in the heat of battle” isn’t one of my strengths. Back when I had my 1900v, I made new seat bases from Starboard and covered them with Seadek, and remade and covered my seats and back rest. On the new 23, I posted a complete stereo install along with amp mounting solutions, etc. I think I did a battery clean up bit, too. Hobo had spare time that a lot of us with young kids don’t, I know I’m preaching to the choir. I miss his input and his beneficial posts! Outside of “how to” compound, polish and wax your rig or add a Battery Tender plug to you tm, I haven’t don’t much. I am about to add an amplifier and sub, which doesn’t interest the masses, but I think building the sub enclosure will catch the eyes of a few. Coming soon....
