Elegant build, to say the least. Any idea as to final cost?

I think I have about $10K in her now, that's totally outfitted.....Lowrance GPS, Clarion waterproof radio, VHF, gauges, trolling motor, washdown, 2 Yeti coolers, leaning post, craigslist trailer....

I'm going to have a custom aluminum trailer built this winter that will be around $2,500

I got tired of spending $125 every few months for a new radio so I bought the Clarion CMD8 waterproof marine radio. And boy am I happy, I installed it just before I went on my first fishing trip to the gulf in May. This is a really neat radio, no cover is required but it is kinda bulky. I would highly recommend this radio, it has been caught in several rainstorms, drenched in saltwater and I haven't had an issue with it.

Don't be cheap with a your stereo, I went through 3 radios in 1 1/2 years....I would have saved a lot of time and money if I would have bought a quality product in the first place.

Pretty much always the case.
