Heavy traffic on Travis lots of boats on the Lake. The mirror is big, but I can watch the tubers and the traffic behind me while keeping my eyes front and center. To me it is worth it. Maybe not to everyone, but I can't put a price on peace of mind.

I'm wondering if a rear view camera would work for this. Get a color one with say 120 degree angle and mount a nice colr display.
So new garmin displays have this ability but i dont have a camera setup...nor do i know how...nor do i want to spend the money on one. But it is available as an option! I think id need a gopro. But then you have mounting and wiring...and...hey look...booze....

Okay, finally found the time to install second battery with on board charger and stereo head unit up grade. Still have some cleanup to tidy up some of the connections but here it is. I made all my one cables with soldered connections so this was a bit more time consuming but fun. Any time you get to use a blow torch just brings out my inner Tim the tool man Taylor!

Next project is the SeaDek on the walkthrough and swim deck. Should receive order in a few weeks!
Thanks for everyone’s help, advise, and suggestions. Couldn’t have gotten this down without all of y’all!

My turn! Just put down my aqua marine decking for the swim platform and walk through. Love the way it turned out. Matches my Sea grass carpet almost perfectly.

That looks awesome Tim! But how did you teach your boat to roll over on its side and play dead?
