Nice boat! Did you have a tire blow out on the way home? The spare looks shredded!

First thing I did after I bought my 290 was put a new set of tires on... Blowouts suck

Yes, my friend and me both have 1997 avengers and have done a lot of little upgrades/repairs. I have improved my sliding cabin door and my friends almost 100 % from what they were from the factory. I would be willing to share anything I’ve learned with these boats and improvements. P.M. me and we can talk and will send pics. of modifications. John

Were you able to get rid of the rattle?

Is an on-board charger standard with the shorepower system? Where is it located?

Wizzards Turbo Cut with a heavy cut wool pad, Wizzards Fine Cut with a Finish Cut wool pad, 3m Finesse-It with a black foam finishing pad and the last of my Frenzy Wax.

Unfortunately, Frenzy is NLA. It was the best wax I have ever used. Not sure what I will go to next.
