    721 Upgrades

    I'm in the process of pricing out a 2017 721 Pro XP. I've added a lot of upgrades, and one of the ones that a dealer just recommended was the dual dash shroud. He said it would make it easier if I ever got another graph and I could mount the smartcraft gauge right in the middle. I've seen a lot of folks commenting on the fact that they are upgrading the shroud on a 721, but I'm wondering if anyone has a picture of this and/or can comment on the benefit of of going that direction.

    On another note, here's what I'm planning to add...let me know if I've missed anything I'm starting to get excited!

    Trailer shocks
    Channel frame trailer
    Atlas hydraulic
    Jackplate gauge
    Smartcraft gauge
    Padded deck/cooler lid
    Paint over gatorhyde
    Loc r bar
    F2 winch/jack
    Keel guard
    10' power poles w/ front deck foot switches
    Helix 12 at dash/9 at bow w/ ethernet
    Addtl' bilge pump
    Stainless Phoenix package

    here is the shroud with one graph, its designed where you can mount the gimbal right to the shroud. you would need additional support for 2 but its a very nice setup and allows for more gauges

    36 volt trolling motor is a must have IMO. Also, I would recommend a Hamby's instead of a peel and stick.

    Make sure you get the Merc monitor mounted on the dash, like the picture above (white cover). Mine came mounted down below the controls. I have seen others that way as well. I don't need a tach since I have that info on the Smartcraft anyway, along with other vital info.

    36 volt trolling motor for sure with a 4 bank charger. I would get that new dash shroud. Also, if your looking to budget a little I would drop the f2 jack and winch and the stainless package. That stainless stuff is going to get scratched up pretty easy

    Make sure you get the directional antenna for your hummingbirds GPS.

    If I were putting together a new build this would be on the front of my boat.

    I've been pricing boats out with the Ultrex...forgot to mention that. All the dealers I've talked to tell me the pricing isn't final on them though.

    If you get the 721 get the auto bilge pump added.

    I ordered one on my 920 elite 2 months ago and it was a $225 upgrade.
