Looks great. Hard to see which nav packages you installed there. What are they?

Hi

Have gone Simrad all round, NSS7, AI50 and RS82 VHF dual station. Upstairs I still have the Garmin (I will have to wait till next year to go Simrad plotter upstairs), I have managed to get the sonar depth and AIS from the Simrad to the Garmin via NMEA0183. I was smart and while pulling cables in added a simnet cable to upstairs and one to the engine bay, so next winter project Simrad autopilot and NSS8 upstairs.

I also added a fuel water detector to the pre filter/seperator bowl and indicator just in front of the shift lever.

Cant wait to get on the water now, all ready just need the weather

Nice job. Love the clean flushmount look. I used Lowrance HDS equipment on mine -- I only have a single display that I either use at the command bridge or mounted just inside the entryway for when I'm fishing on the rear deck. I'm poking around now looking for a used HDS8/10 so that I can add a second station.

One year into our 288 now -- did a load of upgrades over the year but very happy with the boat as it does everything we want.
