Thanks guys. Best part is the price tag, $70 invested in two rolls of vinyl and a heat gun. May still get new panels from Tecnografic someday, but hopefully this will work for awhile.

Wheel looks great. Really dressed up the helm. Makes the boat look very modern.

Looks great but sorry time to spend more of your money, it's time for the stainless steel cup holders :-)

Yes SS cupholders are a must...little things that makes a nice difference. BB will make you get the LED ones in case you need a light to find your beer....that should be in your hand and not in a cup holder.

If you get them before the meet-up, I’m sure BB can wire them up in no time. Heck, I bet he could do it with just one hand — while the other pots the jus!

If you need lights to find your beer you're doing it wrong :lol:

Are the marine cup holders pretty universal? These look like the right ones?

I'm in :-) sounds like a plan Wednesday :-)
