We went ahead and bought a 98 Red/White Twin 110 Rotax Speedster from a co-worker. I was really worried about buying it- as it was a 98, but the price was right (7700). It has about 90 hours on it, and appears in Excellent conditon.

We are picking it up next weekend, abut I thought I would ask for some help of this group.

1. We have purchased a polyplanar waterproof AM.FM.CD stereo, and 4 6" waterproof flush mount round speakers. Do I have to get an external flexbile Antenna, or will a hidden wire one work? Also have any other boaters installed a second battery and volt meter?

2. Where is the best place to pick up a Bimini top?

3. Can the rigid bow covers/pads even be ordered any more?

4. Where can I order the wind deflectors (they were missing form the boat).

Thanks for your help everyone! This alias has been a great resource already.

I really want one of these, someone please tell me as soon as they find one available!

This is the only place I have found them after very extensive searching, but I don't think they are available to the US.

Is this purely for a aesthetics?? Or is there a functional purpose other than it looks very very cool?

[Kevin Leclair]

It is functional, it is meant to be a tanning area since the bow seat is virtually useless unless you are at idle speeds but I mean come one how often are you at idle speeds in your DOO!

I let people sit there all the time, if they want to. I make sure to tell them to Hold ON!! It helps even out the weight distribution and I usually only put the guys up there!!

You think it would be ok to add in some handles there????

Didn't realize it was strong enough to be on top of it!

[Kevin Leclair]

I thought about adding some handles up there myself to actually get some good use out of that seat up there since I can't find a bow filler cushion. I would think it would be ok but you would just have to re-inforce them some how behind the fiberglass so that stress cracks don't start appearing there.

I sent a few different places emails asking if they carry the Rigid Bow Cover...... All have come back saying they are discontinued...... Mostly places here but doesn't look good!

How did you plug your radio?
did you get a second batterie?

[no1stumper]

I know that academy sells battery switches for about 40 dollars, and personally with two batteries I don't know why you would need a volt meter. I actually wouldn't reccommend you getting one unless you plan to run alot of accessories or an amp.

I just use an internal wire as an antenna, and it works fine. Mainly usere prefrence. As for extra parts I would just keep eye out ebay and on boat for sale sites. New your going to spend a fortune!!!!!

I use one battery and power an ipod jack, cd player, megaphone, 6 speakers including tower speakers, front and back halogen lights, and never have had baery problems and/or dimming
