what all upgrades have yall done to yalls sunsetters? If you had to do it all over again what would you do first?

My '97 SS VLX upgrades include (all done by previous owners):

-Titan Tower w/ board racks

-Wedge

-Fullly integrated ballast system

-Perfect Pass

-1235 Acme prop

-Tower speakers and new interior speakers (no sub)

-Wakesetter graphics

If I had to choose which upgrades I couldn't live without, then I would have to go with the Titan Tower and Ballast system. The Perfect Pass would be a close second, followed by the 1235 prop.

Oh yeah, I have the heater and hot water shower as well. I have just never used them.

I added a tower and changed the side decal. The original was pealing away. The decal I added is Malibu but I don’t remember which year. Click the Boat House link below for pics.

May I ask where u got the decal at? Mine is doing the same thing

Got it from my local Malibu dealer...but he's been out of business for a couple of years though.

Call Paul at Bakes Marine. Here's a link to some of his decals. I may change mine this summer. I need to do some serious hual cleaning and it might damage my decals.

my boat came with an upgraded stereo and a tower.

i added:

board racks

perfect pass

1200 lbs of ballast

oj prop

currently redoing the upholstery, parts of the stereo and ballast control

if i had to do one thing first, it would be the perfect pass. not for any other reason but the people who tow you are probably not going to be as skilled at towing as you are.... it saved me a lot of frustration of getting yanked back and forth while trying to board :)
