Picked up my first formula and offshore style boat. 1999 353 fastech with T-502mags. Has extension boxes, no air or gen. Boat will need some updating with the dash as some of the older gaffrig gauges are yellowing.. and the older white dash has some fading. That will be a good winter project.

As for now, I’ve gotten a new carpet from Matworks, plan on replacing the stock 6x9’s with a JL Audio system and just enjoying/ learning the boat for this summer.

One thing I’ve found is the key for thto engines is different from the cabin door lock, anyone know where to find a replacement? Or just easier to replace the lock?

The boat came with both a full cover and cockpit snap cover. The cockpit cover is in bad shape, can anyone recommend anyone to do a new cockpit canvas?

Thanks for your help,

Energized

awesome. Good luck. Canvas shop with experience can make a new one to match your snaps.

Dang that is a nice looking ride. Have a great time with your "new bird"

Contact the folks at XT-Innovations...Ohio based. They did our interior a few years back and in our opinion are the best. They maybe able to assist with the cockpit cover.
