26 HPS customized

I want to thank Adam at All Aluminum Concepts for doing yet again an amazing job!  

The main people/companies who made my dream 26 come to life were,

Adam Triay At All Aluminum Concepts.  904-731-7377 http://www.allaluminumconcepts.com

Robert Salas at Quality Marine Electronics Installation 904-860-7872

Mousa's Auto Interiors and Marine interiors 904-463-1462  https://www.facebook.com/MousasAutoInteriorsAndMore/

The boat has been being worked on in Jacksonville, FL.

I wanted the dash to be as little cluttered as we could make it.  Therefore the stereo and the autopilot are controlled through the 7616xsv.  Also there are electric kite plugs under the gunnel in the corners.  I will probably add rod holders as well as mate series rod holders.  With the Llebroc seat I am getting a behind the seat rod holder as well as 3 cup holders fabricated powered coated white.  I had a clear plexiglass windshield made (I'm not a fan of brown or earth tones or gold).  It fits in the small space between the console and the upper stand.  I am running a Power Tech OFX 4 17 p  ported 3/8.  All three companies, All Aluminum Concepts, Robert Salas at Quality Marine Electronics Installation, And Mousa's Interiors were very fairly priced and exceeded my expectations in quality and craftsmanship.  I would highly recommend all three!

Haven't decided about the stickers on the console.  But the powdered coated tubes are covering the stickers so probably yes they will be removed.   I like the way Barker boats has a unique "B" on the side denoting the brand.  I have been trying to come up with something unique like that as the chrome letters on the side for Pathfinder like a unique "PF", if I keep any.  I will post the console top and the rocket launcher and cup holder behind the seat when it is completed.  On top of the console the compass was moved to the center, 2 cupholders and sea dek was put there.

Beautiful boat, but I have a question about the helm seat. It looks like there are three different versions in the pics. One looks like the factory one with tan panels. Then there's a white one with the diamond quilting. I'm guessing that's the same seat, just reupholstered. Then there's another white one but with a single back piece rather than what looks like two seats. Just wondering what which you ended up with.

Llebroc seat with the flip up seat.  I wanted more rocket launchers and cup holders behind the helm seat.  The Llebroc helm seat provides about 3-4" of space that the factory one did not.  Thus allowing me to mount a custom rocket launcher and cup holder.

Thanks Dawgfan!   I sent Adam a bicycle steering stem that he is modifying that will add support to the trolling motor and a stand to the gunnel.  I can't take credit for it because I saw someone post it on The Hull Truth.  His was a piece of PVC, mine will be powder coated Aluminum welded to the stem.  When it is complete I will post a picture.  It is getting powder coated to match so my hope is that it will disappear but add support to the trolling motor head while running.  Also I will post a pic of the rocket launcher/ cup holders when it is completed.

Great looking rig. I've seen a handful of Adam's T-tops now and I've been impressed with all of them, especially considering his price point compared to some of the others here in Jax. I'll have to keep an eye out for your rig, I see you're at Goodby's, right around the corner from me. How long did Mousa have your interior? My stuff has been at his shop for 3-4 weeks now...I took it to him foamed and ready to go, it just needs to be covered.

I noticed the JL speakers. Did you go with the 8.8 or 7.7, sub? If you went with the 8.8, how does it sound and are you happy with it? I know we're getting a new boat next year and I'm about to start buying new stereo equipment to now (easier to hide from the wife in small installments). I currently have 4 -7.7's and a 10' sub, that I am very pleased with. Some folks say with 4 -8.8's a sub isn't necessary. Just curious.

Enjoy your new ride...maybe you can get it out on some cobia if the wind will just cooperate this weekend.
