Another boat I just finished up. This boat came in from Indianapolis, IN (8.5 hours away), about 6 months ago. It ended up getting put off through the Winter but stayed in the shop the whole time. I started working on it in January but ran into a problem. The boat originally had an Evolution tower, but water had gotten into the tower tubes, froze, expanded the metal, and ruined the tower. It took the customer this long to get a new tower for it. He originally went to Samson, but was unhappy with the communication from them and the delay on getting the tower completed. An overall bad experience, so he ended up taking it back to Centurion in North Carolina to have a Gladiator tower installed. I removed the old tower, then had a local body shop fill all the holes on the deck and fix the gelcoat. When they were done, he picked up the boat, pulled it 14 hours to Centurion, then flew home. A week later flew back to Centurion, the pulled the boat back to me. I finished it up this afternoon and he picks it up tomorrow.

To get the 80's on the Gladiator tower, I had to drill out the 3 top holes on the cans to fit the outer holes on the tower, then for the center, I had a set of Pro60X Evolution brackets that I used. The hole on the bracket for the wire to pass through had to be drilled out, then the speaker wire went through the back of the can into the can. I don't really know of any other way right now to mount these on that tower, since the tower is new to the market, and WS hasn't developed anything just yet.

Another one that I completed before the red boat. I can only take credit for the following:

Cutting 3 holes, and adding the Wet Sounds sXS-10FA's under the rear bench seat
Cutting 4 holes, and adding the 3rd set of JL components in the gunwhales (pictured)
Building/Mounting amprack, wiring it up
Mouting/installing battery, battery isolator, and charger

Crawling in and out of the hole to get into the gunwhale where the amps and battery are was a real pleasure....

The boat came with tribal flame grills from www.xaudiocovers.com. There's a set ordered for the additional JL speakers to be installed later.

This is a 29' Baja Outlaw. I've changed several things around every year, but finally got something that should work out real well.

Great looking install.

One quick question. Where did you get the tower light ? Also, did the bracket the tower lights is sitting one come with the light or did you order that separate? The reason I ask, is that I just bought a pair (at least they look the same) from Great Skipper, but the bracket that was not included. So I just installed them directly to the tower.

Thanks

Hate, we had the box painted when the boat went to the body shop to have the holes filled on the deck from the old tower. Since they were painting the boat, I had them do the face of the box as well. There's a 20" red LED strip above it from Oznium that shines down on it.

lakesurfer, the fog lights and tower light on the Gladiator tower came from Centurion. I didn't install the tower, they did, so I'm affraid I can't help you out on that one.
