Finally got around to installing the new covers. Nice refresh to the panel. Bath inside and out, finally got all my winter/spring projects done. Ready to head to Florida the end of June. In the meantime, head to the lake in a couple of weeks for a cruise. All service done. Ready to roll!!20190505_150013.jpg20190505_190623.jpg

Very well done! Always like to see what you have done to yours and what you're planning. Giving me something to aspire to.
Go get it wet.

Amazing the difference small upgrades can do for your boat. I did my switches last year and it changed the face of the cockpit. Another small upgrade that has a big impact is replacing the plastic cup holder with 316 stainless holders.
Enjoy Flordia!

The only issue is the red one looks faded after a couple of years.

It was actually worse than it looks in that pic. I think that pic was taken after PO had replaced them. The horn button was faded more than in that pic along with some of the others. Only pic I had of the originals.

Think I paid around $98 for 11 covers from Ebay. Taylor Marine in Delaware was the vendor and Grady dealer.

about the same price as on ebay. I think he is a GW dealier.
