New Dash
 
Upgrading the dash on my 290. No coin to have the boat re-painted yet, so I figured I can always change out the bezel colors! I'll be dragging the boat to Josh LaFountains paint booth this week so he can put some fresh color on the dash panels, key plate, and side panel where my captains call switch is while I wire everything up!. So excited! PS: My pics are not linking, lol. I'll get them up later

This is a pic of the dash 4 years ago when I first bought the boat, and this was the first trip out on her!

Tom, I was planning on doing this! I remember the post on here about this because my boat does what everyone complains about! Hit the trim tabs..radio cuts out. Hit trim tabs at night...dash lights dim. :cartman:

Well Tom, I'm still up in the air about that. Two options, what do you think?
option 1) Fresh white with a teal bezels on all the gauges. Just simple and clean. Maybe a a teal and purple powerquest painted on the side panel.
option 2) Fresh white with teal and purple stipes or swooshes across the lower half running left to right and only teal bezels on the tachs, and speedo.

I don't have crazy paint on my boat so I'm leaning more on #1, but I'm up for advice from a master upgrader like yourself. I showed my wife your new dash and said maybe a blending white/teal/purple in the same fashion as yours and she said she like your dash, but not my idea:lolhit:

Plus I'm gonna replace the old white cup holders. Do you think chrome or teal? There's a lot of polish on my boat. Hand rails, bolster frames, rub rails.
