Putting together another 21 Liberator to go to Long Island

**WILDMAN** · 05-27-2016, 08:48 AM

This boat is going to Long Island. It won't get paint, the customer wants it solid white with all the options. In the 2nd pic, I painted the whole rear area with red Awlgrip. 3rd shows the dash cut for all the gauges and a Bluetooth JBL stereo. It also shows the shifter box glassed in.

Love following your work sir.

I got the rub rail installed, put the jackplate on, and got all the gauges and helm in.

I have the boat all wired except for the stereo. I also finished carpeting it.

How fast should this boat go and how does it handle 2-3' chop?

**WILDMAN** · 06-09-2016, 08:07 PM

With one person on flat water they run 104-106. You can run 80 miles an hour in the 2 foot chop but you need to slow down to 40 or 45 and three's

Getting closer! Got the JBL Bluetooth stereo and 600 watt amp in today. Really rocks!. Also got the power steering all bled out and power hatch hooked up. Gas tank is in too.

Looking good, as usual. Have you tried the bluetooth connection with your phone yet? I'm looking at this for my Eliminator and it sure seems like a lot of function for the $$. Could you clue me in on what doesn't come with the unit that a guy has to order for a complete install? That would be much appreciated. Also, what did you use for an antenna, if any?

Thanks!

The JBL guage style stereo seems to work great. This is the first one I've hooked up. We connected to Pandora through the Bluetooth yesterday and it works great. It comes with the normal square plug in the back. It has 45 watts per channel (4 Channel) without hooking up an amp. You'll need to buy all the wiring, speakers, amp, and antenna for radio. It has four rca jacks for the amp. Here's the "soft wire" antenna I use. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Jensen-AM-FM...QAAOSw-W5Uwlsx

Thank you, sir. With an amp the wiring from the head unit should be simple. I just didn't see any special wiring harnesses mentioned.
