Set up Google Play store on 7" display

[crabstacker]

The Amazon app store is terrible, and that's all that's included in the Android installed on the 7" screen. Has anyone successfully installed Google Play store on android on the 7" display? I was able to download all the parts and install them, but when I launch the Play store one of the components started crashing repeatedly. I had to have fast fingers to click into settings between the crash messages and force stop the app. I'm guessing I downloaded the wrong version of the play store for whatever version of Android is on there. Since it's somewhat of a pain to go through all that over again (and possibly more than one more time) I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has already had success getting Google Play working on their boat.

Any fix found?

Don't quote me on this, but it seems like there was talk before on this and no one could get it to work as the Malibu OS is several software versions behind the latest Android OS (or something like that).

correct - I tried and failed.  The tablet is running marshmellow, so you have to have the version of the play store that works on that version and I could not find the one to use.  In my testing I had a few moments of panic where nothing worked because I had installed the wrong version and then was able to get it back to functional.  Decided it wasn't worth it.
