I want to replace the (cheap) plastic side vents on my 260.

Eddie Marine has some nice powder coated ones, but they measure a little bit smaller.

Anyone had any experience? I'd have to think that these are pretty much standard sized vents.

sonic dude both me and 26sonic bought our powder coated vents from cp performance .800-225-9871 pg 181 in catalog. vents are 17 1/2 x 2 1/2 (hardin marine slim style billet vent ) come in diff. colors we have purple. slight re drilling of i think 1 or 2 holes is needed for a nice fit . price is $44.95 each . you need 4 of them.
while your at it replace the white cup holders in the back bench seat with powder coated ones from cp perf. ( pg 187) $10.95 each
perfect fit .

Thanks man. Just the info I needed. I remember a while back some dicsussion about the cup holder sizes. Any info on the ones to get from CP?

Thanks

I lightly sanded mine and bought a can of spray paint for $5.00 Looks good too.

I replaced mine with the Long Billet vents from Eddie Marine. They were $40 a pop (x 4). I also ordered the purple cup holders, and made a 'bezel' out of the old cupholders, and it looks sweet. Check out:
