What have you done so far?

Where to start:
1) Removed the fish well and installed a 40gal freshwater tank
2) Removed 750 g/h baitwell pump and installed 5g/m raw water wash down pump
3) Installed 3.2 g/m freshwater pump
4) Installed hose bibs for each pump under helm seats
5) Designed and installed voltage distribution system for batteries
6) Bought fiberglass 5 gal propane tank for BBQ
7) Had full length biminis installed with full wrap vinyl and screen - now she's a great camper

Thanks guys.
To each their own I guess. To one that owns an Explorer, I think it looks like a camping machine and it is.  I also have the 170 for fishing. :wink:

The screen panels I have are the real thick screen and it blocks about 80% of the wind though.  I remember on her maiden trip (for me anyway) it was in the 40s (the trip that pic was taken) and I really didn't need all the vinyl up - just on the windy side.
