Hi Cowie,
 
I bought a Contest 101 racing compass by Plastimo and had Stan install it on the port side cabin bulkhead.  I can read and steer by it easily form the stern seat.  It can also be read from the cabin.  I had a mast-head antenna installed by Stan as well. For VHF radio, I went with the Uniden UM 625 fix mount and installed it myself, I later bought a West Marine vhf 55 hand held.  I have a Garmin 76Cx hand held GPS, but I'm thinking of returning it for a another brand that accepts software from Navionics.  Garmin appears to lock you into using their software only.  I will be installing a Fishfinder Chartplotter, for I enjoy reading the depth of the water as I sail along, it adds to the fun.  No stereo as yet, but I am sure it would enhance the experience, anchored in some quiet cove somewhere.

Cesar:

Good looking boat.  I like your name size and placement and also like the
location and format for the boat numbers.  Bu the way what compass, gps if
any, vhf radio if any and or stereo did you go with?
