Yea that list is nice but....theres still too much empty space at the helm for me. When you do my 82, be sure to not let that happen

i have already ordered the disco ball and smoke machine for your boat.

What!?! No pimp-daddy LED lights for the capt???

Duct Tape - who makes the transducer you installed on that boat?

I'm guessing that thermal imaging camera is the biggest ticket item you installed?

The ducers for the BBFF3 are the 50B12, and the 200B/8B, both are furuno transducers i believe.

Nice work, Just surprised to see a Northstar 800. I did'nt know you could still even get one. They always were the best.

i was surprised as well, it was a used unit from another boat.

capemariner · 02-18-2007, 11:40 AM

Ah ok that explains it. Thanks for the info.

Duct Tape · 02-21-2007, 09:58 PM

i just found out that I will be traveling on the boat overnight for a few days while it heads to the Viking Rendezvous (Sp?). this will be my first time out on a boat overnight. I hope i dont get sick

i also was informed that the Discovery channel is using footage of the boat in a documentary that will be on the discovery channel website. I'll post a link when it is available, I'm not really sure what the documentary is about yet.

Where exactly are you running the boat to, thats its taking two days? Not back up to Jersey, right?

Duct Tape · 02-22-2007, 01:03 AM

Now THAT would be a sweeeeeeet trip

Holy crap....that helm looks like a air traffic controller tower....i guess if you've got the bucks to buy a 74', what's a few more thousand to finish it off.

That's some pretty installation right there...lotta thought process put into it as to where to located everything...perfect!

kwalton · 02-22-2007, 11:02 PM

So the playstation control is for the IR camera? Never seen such a thing. I would much rather play Grand Theft Auto than boring IR camera, that game was never much fun.

i dunno, i had plenty of fun playing around with the 312x zoom color camera. also the image stablized tracking feature provided tons of fun

on one of our current projects we have an Xbox 360 split out to every stateroom on the boat. that was fun to wire
