Just got a 38 special!
 

Hey guys i just picked a 38 special with fresh 503's, i have not driven it yet but it sure looks promising. There is only two problems with it, and im hoping you guys can help me out.


1) The rubber pads on the swim platform and steps seem to be disintegrating, looking to buy new rubber.


2) The toggle switches on the dash are very brittle for sun exposure and starting to break, also looking to replace.



Other then that the boat looks mint, im getting a custom wrap done and will post pictures went completed. I see some of you guys are taking off the windshield, anyone have any pictures?

38 special is a great baja. Congrats on the buy. I would look for switch covers from great lakes skipper, Dave from XT, or brian41. Problem is that you can find the covers but they aren't labeled.

I recovered the swim deck pads with a product called aqua mat or something similar.
It comes in colors and different textures ie. ribbed, diamond plate, and smooth as well. Its the stuff that's in the footwells on wet bikes. Works great, adds some bling.
The hardest part was patterning the elongated oval and cutting the inserts so the ribbed grooves were all parallel.

Great boat you can take the whole party, SERIOUSLY, enjoy it, contact XT Innovators for any work or parts you may need.

What is a 503???

Hydro-Turf

503 is a 502 with some special sause in it. :lolhit:

Hydro turf, ya thats the ticket!

Congrats
 

Cool boat post some pictures

Awesome...congrats! Looking forward to the pics.

Congrats.

Get ahold of X T innovators (Dave) he will get
you what you need. He did some interior work
on mine and it came out perfect.

Where can you buy the whole switch, labeled? I have the older style switches with the labels on the panel, I would love to make new panels without labels and have the labels on the newer style switches.

Great lakes Skipper has some but not many. I know guys that where just taking blanks and getting them labeled by print shops also. A guy on here named Brian41 has full switch panels so he may have some switches also.

Thanks guys i will see what i can do!

Be careful of the wind deflector, if you break it
you ll play hell getting another one. I have a
friend been looking for one for 3 yrs.

Rick, hit up IRISH....he has a lead on a fairing even a windshield.... But the beam on the .38 is more then the 302/342's so not sure if it will fit?


Nice find Mike.....perfect wave crusher and still not spill your beer!

Thanks Ill let the club member know,

Pics please!!! :)
