Very nice work indeed.

socuban · 08-13-2007, 11:02 PM

Duct Tape, I showed these pics to the guys @ AME in Riviera Beach and they tell me they do one of those a month

What hull number is that 74? I might have been on it if it is #15 or less.

Duct Tape · 08-14-2007, 02:22 AM

HOLY SHAT!!!!!!! My goodness!!!!!! Striper pole?? I could just stair at the electronics rack!!

I would pay $$ to get on that boat for 5 minutes and check out that geek room!! Wow.....

Duct, you did all/most of that install? If so, NICE job dude!! What type of "Image Stabilized Camera system" is that? Is it a high powered lens?

Capt Squidly, you really taking your boat all those places? You fishing tourney's or something, or just for fun?

I did most of the work, except for the rigging of the tower. Our crew in Palm Beach took care of that when the tower was installed down there.

The camera is from NVTi, its does Color, Thermal, and low light. It has a very powerful zoom lens on the color camera. I could look into the windows of buildings accross the marina where we were docked. It can also track moving objects as well as heat.

Thanks for the compliments, my favorite part of the install is the "room of doom" as well. Its supposed to be a pantry. pfft, whatever

Very impressive work. This is how it SHOULD look. Very professional and obviously well thought out. Wish you were around when i had my electronics installed.

DogTired · 08-19-2007, 08:08 PM

Snapper Head · 08-20-2007, 12:33 AM

sorry i havent checked on this post in awhile.

thanks for the compliments, it was a total team effort to pull off a job like this one.

waterat · 09-21-2007, 07:36 PM

I'm assuming that the crew will include one electronics tech. I hate to thinjkabout corrosion in all those connections, even on a Viking. Absolutly a fantastic job. Congratulations!!!

I cant believe that it all burned to the ground. really cool that you can see the boat that started the fire in a lot if these pictures.

sorry, i should change my signature photo. the boat in my signature is a different boat.

the 74' that burnt down did have alot of electronics on it, but not quite as much as the one in this thread.

wickeditch · 04-01-2008, 03:16 PM

thanks, I actually did get to run with the boat when it made a trip from Anna Maria down to Key West, over night in Key West, then over to Key Largo to the Viking Rendezvous. It was a great time.

I have a room like that (well maybe not that neat) at my business - unfortunately we call it "malfunction junction."and it is appropriately named.

Sweet job - I'm jealous.
