Unsure what everyone is always complaining about with these. The 8 D's are just about as light as peas.

Scroll through to see the before, what started as one little project snowballed into a partial rewire before her big summer trip in the southern Bahamas. This albury brother was actually one of the first boats we worked on when we officially opened for business. This customer has always taken care of us, so we wanted to make sure they were taken care of as well. This ol girl got new , battery switches, and ACRs from Blue Sea as well as breakers and a fresh labeled fuse panel. All new battery cables to fire up all the electronics as well as the brand new 300hp verados. Fresh bilge pumps, float switches and wire. New electric reel outlets from hubbell.

As summer time approaches were beginning to get into the "oh f**k I need to service my boat" season. While going through many boats it is more often than not that we encounter fuel filters that are way past due. They can be in tight spots or difficult to remove but that doesn't excuse not replacing them.
Do you spend your summers in the Keys and Bahamas ? You should absolutely have a racor style filter such as pictured above to allow you to drain off water if necessary. Alsosuper important to label the date it was changed as well as the hours if applicable. Don't let a cheap and readily available part potentially ruin your vacation this summer. We specialize in electrical and electronics but love all things boat stuff. So if your tired of getting half assed service at an arm and a leg prices give us a call. When it comes to your hull, we can just about conquer it all.

We are biased at all but whitewaters are definitely some of the baddest boats out there. We took this boat from a 7 battery set up down to 4 by removing one house battery and replacing 3 trolling motor batteries with a single 36 volt lithium. If you'd like to see this boat get a full refit soon than later make sure to follow and do some business with him. We also added an charge relay, as well as a DC to DC charger. So now whether the boat is on a trailer or out running in the ocean every battery is getting the charge it needs and deserves.

I'd love to tout this as the baddest LTB out there but there have been some really awesome ones built. We've done the 25 contender, seavee, whitewater and now an LTB. They are truly an amazing hull regardless of who built them. This boat came to me direct from the factory. We installed every single wire in this boat short of engine rigging. We did all the plumbing including livewell set up, fresh and saltwater systems. Truly blessed to have such amazing customers to bring us a blank slate and give us as much freedom to do things as we see they should be done. The next boat could be yours ! .ride .marine

Last week we brought this 30' Pro Line back to the future. First stop was for some fresh acrylic dash panels. Replace rocker switches with new push button switches. We added 2 Simrad screens paired to a fusion stereo pushing power to a amplifier and speakers. We also added an amazing light package from to include RGB spreader and courtesy lights and a small bilge light. The boat is off to Utah to show them how Florida does boat refits!

Here we got one of the baddest Carolina skiffs that you'll ever see. If boating accessories are the ticket than this customer is definitely winning the lottery. This vessel came to us with a 12 inch MFD along with autopilot. We added a fusion hide away stereo controlled through the MFD as along with 2 wireless remotes. The stereo is feeding signal to the amplifier & speakers. Next up was the raptor with a anchor light atop it. We added in a 36 volt battery being charged by a stealth 1 DC to DC charger. Lastly a blue sea systems battery switch and ACR to ensure dead batteries are a thing of the past!

100 Inch 112lb thrust trolling motor on a 39 Seavee!! The minn kota quest instinct coupled with the seaswivel makes deploying this thing an absolute breeze. Also on this boat we have a single 36v battery being charged by a DC to DC charger that allows both the engines and shore power to charge up this Lithium for a near endless runtime.

Here’s an example of a recent project we completed. This customer was experiencing issues with his single bilge pump and its wiring. We upgraded him with new pumps, float switches, and wiring for each. The float switches are now wired directly to the battery, with one mounted an extra ¾ inch higher to prevent both from activating simultaneously.

While some may notice there’s a single outlet for two pumps—an arrangement that’s not typically ideal—this was the most cost-effective solution for this specific vessel. Adding a second outlet would have significantly increased both parts and labor costs. To ensure optimal performance, each pump was equipped with an inline check valve, preventing water from simply circulating back into the bilge.
