I remember on my 200 out blocked most of the walk through and really bothered me. So I put it more to one side. Also for you 200,220,250 guys on the engine hatch they like to leave the bottom edge unfinished so I get this molding that they used on newer models and glue it in place.

Looks nice! Is that the Taco, Garelick or other? Preferred supplier? That's one option I'd like to incorporate on our 343.
I went with Taco just because I just needed the mount and the leg. I had the table. I couldn't get a garelick unless I wanted the whole set up. The individual pieces are all on back order. I think the garelick might hold the leg tighter. Taco was very fast and a good price.

No name yet :-) really have not thought of one for it. I really like this boat she might be a keeper. It's crazy fun to drive and that's what I've been looking for.Yes mine is parked for the W in my garage so it's playing around time now. Installed the shiny bling yesterday.long winter ahead. Can't wait to try these babies out. I'm almost tempted to go and rewinterize it.lol

I didn't know anyone else made duprop sets. I have two sets of f6 props. How do the 4 blade hill props change performance?

I have a thread on here about my experience with Hill Marine. I haven't tried these yet. I had f6 before and they did everything opposite they were supposed to do. It took me a year and more money to exchange them to f5 props. I will let you all know how they work. I don't trust them as I think they just threw together some props just to get rid of me. It's been a hassle to say the least.

Finally Finished adding my LEDs . As we do Night boating and hang out at local Restaurant docks listening to live bands and music, I wanted to set it off.

I found These Micro led stick ons with 2ft of 22 gauge wire (with resistors) and put them in my Side air intakes for back lighting. That along with interior and drain plug light . Just staying with one color made it easy to change everything over for me.

Looks great Cmatt. I really like the lighting on your side air intakes, haven't seen that before. The red on red really looks nice.

Looks great Matt. I'm surprised you can see your plug light in the delta. I thought the delta was like a sewer🤣

So far I've installed 6 stainless steel cupholders, a Sony MEX-100BT stereo, all of the speakers are now Polk Audio DB651's, and today I got this Gussi M931 steering wheel installed with the center cap from my original wheel MacGyvered into the center hole.
