Waterski Boats of Dallas requested a demo that was over the top and worthy of a magazine feature article. When they auditioned the completed project they said it exceeded their expectations.
   

Behind the front observation seat gull wing cushion we installed a 15-inch widescreen LCD. The factory shock was replaced with a new unit having 10 lbs additional capacity.

   

Within the amp rack in the port side locker a flush-mounted DVD player and Sony Playstation provide video sources to the dual source LCD monitor.
   

Dual radio frequency controllers allow the convenience of wireless Playstation operation. An infrared target positioned in the port combing pocket extends the range of the DVD remote control.
   

 

 

A birch amp rack covered in marine-grade non-mildew rubber-backed carpet. The rack is elevated off of the sole via polymer spacers.
 

Both JL Audio amplifiers are mounted over acrylic lenses. The acrylic lenses have an identical footprint to the amplifier. Beneath the amplifiers swirled silver aluminum trim is patterned in a tribal flame to match the overhead wing and sub enclosure.

 
   

All wires and cables are terminated through accent plates that are finished in a black and graphite cracked crystal finish. This second texture also occurs throughout the tower presentation and subwoofer enclosure.
   

Under the rear observation seat dual Polk MOMO 10-inch down-firing subwoofers vent out of a Supra ‘S’ grill.
   

The floor of the sub enclosure features an aluminum panel that is also painted in the black and graphite cracked crystal finish. The socket head bolt pattern assists the reflective effect in the perimeter interior mirrors. The visual is so effective that many viewers at the boat show believed there were four woofers versus two. Acrylic flames guide the woofer cables and also diffract the light across their frosted edges.

The enclosure is overlaid with a vinyl-clad birch façade, which is covered with a swirled silver aluminum panel. Again, the tribal flame runs consistently through the boat.

A storage compartment was incorporated into the side.

Above, a swirled silver aluminum ‘S’ is accented by black acrylic trim.
   

The swirled silver aluminum ‘S’ vent received a black stainless steel mesh insert for contrast. The mesh is coated with an etching primer and black glass particle paint.

   

A swirled silver wing suspends four bullet pods and four halogen lamps. The lamps are in black cases. The pods are custom painted in the same two-tone graphite and black cracked crystal finish as used in the sub enclosure and on the amp rack trim. The graphite also matches the speaker grills throughout. The four speaker pods are equipped with white LED light rings to match the dominant white hull.

 
   

In addition to upgrading the factory coaxils to Polk dB, we added a fourth set of coaxils in the boat. The coaxils are recessed in white vinyl clad bolsters, which are trimmed in black piping.
   

We equipped the Supra with dual batteries and a Perko switch.
   

Forward oriented white step lights in the bow.
   

Backlit Supra badges in the cockpit combing pockets.

   
Tower lights containing 33 diodes behind each frosted acrylic
ring.
   

Lit up amp rack with acrylic diffusers under each amp.
   

Lit up sub enclosure with the frosted-edge flames diffracting the lights.
   

Lit up, Supra ‘S’. The six down-casting LEDs are concealed in a white polymer bezel.
   

The rear engine compartment vents received a reflective interior treatment and are indirectly illuminated with red LEDs for a fiery taillight effect.

   

This Supra was the hit of the Dallas Winter Boat show. In fact, this was the consensus among competing boat dealers too.
