Called Rex back today and ordered 2 purple powder coated battery boxes as well. I'mm call tomorrow morning and order the rubber flooring material and glue to place in the engine compartment where the carpeting is now. Getting rid of the carpeting will be a great improvement.

Hope everyone had a good summer. We really enjoyed our first season with our 290. I am thinking about replacing the gauges with Beede. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Re: Winter Projects.
 

I replaced mine over the summer with the beede and they seem to be fine thus far. Here's a couple pics.

Re: Winter Projects.
 

I got mine from Eddie Marine. I won't know until the spring if it works or not. :rolleyes:

Re: Winter Projects.
 

Where did you find the billet grills? I've been searching.

thanks

Fast Foward, You should use Dimond Plate. I'll send you a pic of mine, it looks great!

Re: Winter Projects.
 

I thought about the diamond plate and even talked with a guy that thought he could get the purple I wanted. I decided to go with the vinyl simply because I want to used the space and wanted something that would hold up, not scratch as well as hear anything banging around. I've bought the vinyl already and just am waiting for a free weekend to start working.

I think I'm going to pull the steering wheel as well. Dana Marine has new line of wheels in different colors for only $125.00
