My projects done, vhf, gps, etc

[tomcater]

well, I have finally finished my projects. I installed mid-ship cleats, vhf, gps, antenna on my chaparral 180 sse.

I'm including some pictures in case others want to attempt all the installations.

It took me about 15 hours to install all, but I'm very "particular."

The radio is not yet screwed in as the glue was drying.

Nice. Are the cleats through-bolted with backing plates?
