First Impression 03 262

[Ytmsn]

Man that is a pretty boat! Another thing you'll want to be sure you do is start putting some sort of vinyl conditioner on your sunpad (and all your upholstery, but especially the sunpad). Those cushions take a lot of abuse from UV rays, foot steps and just laying on them, and will crack or tear before any other cushion. Keep the vinyl soft and pliable with vinyl sauce from boat bling, McGuires, Adams or 3m.

When I got my 262 I had intentions of installing the led strips in the tops of the cubbies like my last boat and decided the stock lighting was enough, just like you did. But you can put led rings behind your speakers and still get a cool effect if you're wanting some extra bling..
Fortunately mine already came with them.

I was going to add lighting but it’s all here and wired, very nice.
I am going to change the cup holders to Blue but leave the floor lighting white...I might go a little dimmer.

You can add a rgb led lights to all of those courtesy lights and use a controller. Then you can pick the color you want and how bright or dim you want them. It's kind of nice. I thought I would keep mine white but then one burned out so it was time to convert them. I'm thinking you will get tired of them At night. Plus the controller is blue tooth so you can turn them on before you get in the boat if you want with your phone.

Yeppers, loving the purty boat.
I am pretty good about ointments in car interiors so I’ll be sure to bring it across to the boat.
I’ll be pretty religious about putting her on the covered hoist and using the covers which came with the boat.
I love the lighting you have going on.
Thanks for the input:-)

She looks like she will have a nice home. Can you get a canopy for it?
