The new 64-footer from Jarrett Bay has a massive electronics network
From Marlin Magazine
The electronics suite on Builder’s Choice includes 27 different products, from navigation to digital media components.
Scott Gordy works for Offshore Marine in North Carolina. The company is the primary electronics installer for many custom-boat brands, including Jarrett Bay. On the boat manufacturer’s new 64-foot Builder’s Choice, Gordy and his team installed a long list of electronics components for the boat’s custom suite.
“On sport-fishers like Jarrett Bay’s Builder’s Choice, we used Garmin GPSMap 8600 series glass helm displays, a GSD 26 chirp sounder and open array radar, and we networked Garmin’s Meteor 300 audio into that,” he said.
The boat’s captain wanted to keep a Northstar 952X chart plotter from his previous boat and install a Simrad AP28 autopilot he was intimately familiar with. Gordy also was tasked to bring high-definition TV, Blu-ray, shore-based Wi-Fi and satellite Wi-Fi access to the vessel. To do so, he added a Denon AVR-X4100W receiver, Apple TV and a Sony BDP-s1500 Blu-ray player. He also installed a Vizio smart TV and a Samsung 6350 48-inch TV for satellite and streaming TV.
