For the most part it's good. On my glove box, I wasn't able to get much wrap around the wood part and the vinyl looks like it shrunk a little bit. Will probably have to redo that one.
We are planning to take the boat out next weekend, I'll try to snap a pic when I'm in it next time.

Well it's been a long time since I've had any updates, figured it was finally time replace the crappy looking speakers in the boat.
Current ones work ok, but the grilles keep falling off and they look like crap. The ones up front in the bow don't match the ones in the cockpit either.
Got a set of 6 Polk Audio 5.25 coaxial speakers delivered today. Aiming to install them Saturday. These should look much better, and hopefully will sound better too.

It's taking you almost 3 years to fix that. You should be ashamed of yourself

Much better T5billion. How do they sound. Did you add a amp back some years?

Thanks guys. They don't sound much different, but I was mostly after looks, no real complaints about how the old speakers sounded.
BBP...I have all the speakers run off the deck, Sony MEX-M100BT. Has a fairly good sized internal amp, so i haven't stepped.uo to a separate one.
