Actually looking ay a GX460 now, but i don t see a trailer hitch on it, so Im not sure it has the tow package. Does have the 4.6 V8, which is a great engine.

The dash on these boats have always been a problem. When they were built, they had no idea what kind of electronics would be on them.

Nice tow vehicle. Run the vin to find out what options it has, and look for configuration info. I don’t know the options, but it’s worthwhile to do your research to make sure that you get the towing sway control. One problem is the short wheel base when compared to a full size pickup, and it does make a difference.

Regarding the dash, here’s a mock-up of what I was considering, but that’s what didn’t work.

Rethinking the issue yesterday, I came up with some new ideas to try when I have a chance. I also made some progress on the stereo… I pulled speaker wires inside the radar arch. In the photos you can see the marine head unit I bought.

I have an autopilot too, but I’ll probably install that this winter… plus I need to install the hydraulic steering first for it to work.

Too many dreamer ideas, and not enough free time to complete them!

C’est la vie!
