TV Reception On Boats

XCR-700 · 07-06-2010, 09:03 PM

You guys are killing me with all this talk of watching TV on boats,,,

I’m tempted to haul my plasma TV off the wall in my family room and see if I can stand it up inside my CVX

Any thoughts on where I should mount it ???

I may need to string a dingy along side, do you think there are any rules about running cables between them,,, LOL

Sorry, but having never had anything bigger than 23' the idea of having a TV and satellite antenna just is something I cannot relate to,,,

I'm sure on a bigger boat and one with more amenities its a whole different boating experience.

In my CVX I can reach down and touch water from the drivers seat, and though my 23' Carlson is a few inches deeper, its only a few inches and as I once read stated, "it has a cuddy cabin, but its not meant for human adults,,," so the thought of having a TV in the cabin is just not something I have ever considered.

Ok, I concede to the bigger ships and their creature comforts and will stop heckling from the cheep seats,,,
