Stereo Install- 15' Key West w/Pic

mdrobe2 · 05-20-2009, 03:21 PM

I can't believe how awesome this stereo sounds. Investment was less than $1K. The console acts as a speaker box and the cooler does not diminish the audio quality at all. 8" Bazooka 2 ways with Clarion waterproof CD. My friend Jeremy Shiver installed it. He was the shop manager at The Maintenance Shoppe but has since moved on. I have nothing against Gavin or The Maintenance Shoppe and Iwill use them again, but I gave this job to Jeremy.He showed up at my house and installed everything in 2.5 hours. VERY convenient. He brought all the materials, and even detailed the boat out after the work was done. He is a class act and is taking jobs on demand. PM me for his #.

Jeremy's rate for labor is $50 an hour, much less than most shops, and he is a true pro.

Good looking stereo there Mike,,,

Good Job Jeremy,, i wish you well in your endevours.....

Thanks Kenny! I love the boat- the hull is super sweet. I am really glad I went with Key West instead of Carolina Skiff. Nothing against CS, just glad I have a small V hull that fits in the garage, instead of a skiff.The fit and finish is sweet and I am really happy to say I was able to buy a boat from a forum member and it turned out GREAT! I can't wait for you to hear the stereo, and Jeremy said you guys did a fine job on the swim ladder, but you already knew what a good job y'all did. I LOVE the boat! Thanks for everything.

Very clean install. I was thinking of putting a system in my boat but was worried the sound vibrations wouldspook thefish. Do you listen while fishing and or have you notice any ill effects??

is the head unit mounted in front of the console? Kind of hard to tell in the picture...

mdrobe2 · 05-20-2009, 11:22 PM

We have listened while fishing before with no ill effects, and yes, the head unit is on the front of the console.

Where did you get your mounts to hold the cooler in place? How much?

mdrobe2 · 05-21-2009, 12:42 AM

The boat came with the cooler and mounts. You could probably get some from Key West, but I don't know how much $.
