    Upgrades to 96 Super Sport

    After being a first time owner last year, I did a few upgrades over the winter and finally gonna post pics of everything. I have been lucky in sorts to get a free tower that I had to fabricate to fit (not a problem), and made a couple of things also that only involved time. But living in Ohio, I had all winter. Bought a board rack off Nautique Parts and made my own spinner for it (used one off a 09 as a sample and just made modifications to the one I made to fit my the board rack I bought), Tower was from 08 and had to cut out like 13-15 inches and got it to fit, it's a little different for my boat but I like the uniqueness of it. Added a custom bimini that had to do some work on it to fit that tower and cover the driver, but turned out great. Also took out pylon and made a custom cap for it. Took out cloth speakers and added kickers to the seats flush with LEDs. Added 12' sub under front kick panel (sorry no pics) and also added a perko switch which is mounted on floor next to driver seat and 2 batteries (sorry no pics)

      Nice work! Any tips on mounting the speakers? I have the same ones sitting on the shelf in my garage and I just need to install them. Would love to get them flush like you have them.

          Soooo impressed; those board racks are incredible. Be careful stepping on that N emblem... Out here things like that will burn you. Keep up the great work; love the boat.

                  I like that Titan tower, didn't see someone modified that model before. Please post more pics from different angles.

                    If you look close, you can see the weld seem in the middle. These pics were taken when when were fitting it to the boat. I think we cut out 13 inches out of middle, inserted a sleeve and welded back together. A little grinding and polishing and you can't even tell now. It does sit back a little further than a FCT, but like I said above, I like the uniqueness of it.

                      It looks original and I always prefer original instead of aftermarket. I modified 08 FCT to fit my previously owned 98 SS as well. I had to cut and weld because of wider beam of newer boats. The only thing I wished that there were no cup holders so I could install tower a bit closer towards the windshield.
                      Which bimini are you planning to put on?

                          I had a custom one made for the inside of the tower, worked out great. Pics above show it

                            I hadn't attached it yet in the pictures above, actually you can barely see it in the Bimini picture from behind

                              So any tips on how you attached the front loaded speakers so flush like that? I am hoping to do the exact same thing and would appreciate any advice that you might have.
