I went with the 3/4 plate to give me just a tad more room for the amp and so that I could keep the 6'5 speakers out towards the outer edges. The speaker grills made them just a tad to big to fit.



Monster boat man... Mines only a 32ft with twin 454 magnums. Crushing waves is the best... ok maybe more like skipping across the top heheeh. I recently sold my Raptor, and the scarab is next. I love boating.... But man... gas prices are melting a hole in my pocket. A guy down the road as a 44ft with triple 502's... I can't even imagine... But if you have a 150k+ boat you probably don't care.
In regards to the sub bracket; you may want to fab a sub box in order to get the best punch from those speakers. The is little room (width) so I found it best to fab the sub box from fiberglass so the speakers will fit as flush to the existing rear hatch floor.

Sold the boat years ago due to having little time to enjoy it.
