Install snake eyes, remove old bow light and horn.
New horn and switch.
Install new 10" sub.
Redo registration numbers lower and closer towards the front.
Possibly rewiring everything under the dash.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, put in a new little 150 - 200 HP outboard (must be newer than 1983). Seriously, if you guys know of any good outboards for sale (In the under $2,000 range), let me know asap! I'm looking to pick one up within the next month.

Will take my bow from this:

I just changed jobs, and now work 4-10s with NO on call anymore.

SO...........

I plan on putting more fish on my boat...

Every week...

And some lights so I can fish at night.

Maybe this will be the year I put the stuff on I bought a few years ago
Back in 2003 I bought a fish finder for the Regal I had. I sold that boat to my sister and planed to install it on my newer boat. It's still in my closet
Back in 2005 I bought some trim indicators for my tabs on the newer boat, guess where they are
I would like to add some reverse lights on the back of the trailer but I know where they'll end up. I also would like a spot light and a windless anchor on the boat. If I could just take the time to install what I already got I'd be happy. So I'll make them my new mod all over again just as soon as I can get off my lazy butt.

Edit: I forgot Last season my trim switches went bad. I bought new ones but they also somehow made there was to the closet. I gotta get them on for sure.

Dewinterizing for me = filling it up with gas, and turning the key. The batteries are on a maintainer, so I know it's ready to go.

Psh...don't even get me started on that guy. Tom and I both want to drive up there and kick that tool in the nuts. He had the nerve to email me and call me an @sshole I told him he shouldn't lie about stuff he's trying to sell. But anyways, there are now two candidtates for my replacement motor, a 1989 Yamaha 200, and a 1989 Merc 200 HP Blackmax.

Oh, and Budha, I forgot, I've gotta mix the oil in the gas and put in my faceplate for the stereo. THEN I'm ready to go.

Mix.
You definitely need to upgrade.

Just busting your chops Zman.

FX4Naz,
Let me know how the tint job turns out. I was thinking about doing that, or even removing the windshield and making a custom screen like a Baja Outlaw.

Zaairman,
I would look around and try to find a Mercury Black Max, that would make that boat probably scary to ride in.

I went to a vinyl sign shop and had them make me some numbers that matched the other decals on the boat. They can print multi colors on the same decal...which I didn't know.

I'm upgrading, and chances are I'll be disabling the auto mix on the new motor... I don't want to chance having the oil pump go out and frying my motor. Plus, it takes me all of two seconds to measure out the oil and dump it in my tanks (three removable 6 gal tanks, two that I normally use).

And FDuce, like I said earlier, the two motors in the running right now are a Yamaha and a Black Max. I might be going to look at the Black Max in two weeks.
