To me wrapping them never looks great for long. If you're going to keep the boat do it right and send them out.

I’m big into DIY…mechanical engineer, I can’t help myself. I’m either going to paint the existing panels and update to modern backlit switches or if that goes south I’ll order some blanks and cut my own new panels.

New head unit, amp, and speakers are en route. Hopefully I’ll get that knocked out over the weekend. $310 shipped, can’t complain about that.

Wife wanted a name for the boat themed around our dogs. After some debate this is what we landed on, should incite some chuckles at the marina. Any recommendations on where to source the decal?

I might see you on the lake sometime. We dont go there often but I dont mind when we do. We also bought our first Cobalt on that lake (a 220) - I will never forget that evening.

We're closer to Saylorville, but Red Rock is a much quieter lake.

Hm, I meant to put that picture inline with the text. Whoops.

But yeah, naming it tail chaser. Im just going to order from signs.com along with the new registration numbers unless someone has a better recommendation.

If you have a Fastsigns near you they will do it also.

Bought the same steering wheel to update our 1995 220. How did you get the splined hub adapter off?
