I love the boat. Avalanche grey is also one of my favorite Ford Raptor colors. Curious though... the Suzuki 300 has built-in isolated dual charging outputs. That lets you charge both battery banks independently directly from the motor. I don't think an ACR would be needed or even recommended. With an ACR, if the house battery is drained, as soon as you fire up that motor, the ACR is going to auto combine the batteries and your cranking battery will become partially drained by the depleted house battery.
ACR regulates what can be depleted from the starting side. Once the start battery drops below 12.75v for more than 30 seconds it pulls the connection and isolates the banks. The Suzuki's do have the auxiliary charging ports which we utilize by request but this is a system provided by Raider on their boats that creates isolation and redundancy and is applicable with all engines brands. If you run the Aux Charging port to the house side it will supply the charge and keep the ACR from being needed but having it there is still a positive protection.
@@westonhartman6226 there is a 2 or 2.5” difference with the coastal being a taller inside cockpit depth. The sides overall on the Coastal are 2” taller to help build more interior depth as well. With the self bailing deck you loose interior depth. But how the Coastal is setup it’s very comfortable to fish from and hits a 6’ individual at mid thigh.
To reduce issues with interference. We install AIS, VHF, 2 METER, RADAR, XM and so on on the roofs, this is just clean and works great. I've had 0 issues in 20 years installing them there.
@@Selkirkmarine Understood - was more curious of the why. I've always installed them on the roof because up near the bow if using an anchor its just another thing to accidentally hit. 🙂 BTW, nice video of the Coastal and the rigging.
Another great video by Justin!
Absolutely beautiful mate! Gosh... thank you.

How high are the gunnels on the coastal compared to a pro fish?

Hi
Why did you put the GPS receiver/heading sensor on the bow and not place it on the roof?
