Update on Packin' Heat
Since there are already so many threads from my start to end of buying ICEDPPL's Tantrum, I figured since its still too cold to actually get out on the water still, I'd update on what I have been doing. So far, I have:
1. Replaced stereo
2. New amp on order
3. New hatch lense with dogs and riser on order from Bomar
4. Removed the windscreen (personal preference)
5. Scheduled glass guy to fill in the bow where what looks like the first owner (prior to ICEDPPL) installed some type of light.
Soon to be/maybe's lol:
1. Found a MOMO steering wheel that matches the red powdercoated rails so Im going to change that out.
2. New throttle and shifter ( i like to personalize haha)
Now here's the question. Where the windscreen was fabricated and mounted is a silver cut piece of stainless steel. From what I've seen on other Tantrum pics, that area above the cluster and above the cabin door used to be a vinyl cover that matched the interior. I would like to know if anyone knows an interior guy or what may be the best way to put that dash area back or close to stock looking. I want to get the through bolts and metallic piece off the boat and put it back the way it was stock. Hopefully that makes sense..

I sent 3 pictures of my dash pad which should help. In Ohio we are just 4 weeks away from the marina's opening and I have 4 inches of snow on the ground now and more expected. Mother Nature needs to start getting it together and warm us up.

I am living through you right now. I still have not picked mine up yet. I was going to pick it up this weekend but I don't want to drag it through the snow. I can't wait to start doing the same things you are. Not looking to do anything major to it but I do want to make it mine.

Btw, there is no 12 step program for what we all have.
