Re: Questions for ex-traditional TS owners

Hi Robert, We owned a Farr 6000 before we bought our X , it was a little cramped , especially when we liked staying onboard for one to four weeks at a time.

Re: Stereo installlation

I put a pair of speakers in the usual place in the cabin above the V berth, works great. Cut my holes with a hole saw then made them bigger with a jigsaw to the size i needed , remember the speakers are bigger than the hole you need , measure twice , cut once.
