diamond plate in the engine area
While I have the engines out of the boat I was thinking that I may have some diamond plate installed. Has anyone else done this to a 31SS? If so do you have any pictures? All advice appreciated.
Thanks,
ST31

Never seen any diamond plate in a 31. Have seen it in 38's & up. Not much room in 31 engine compartment compared to the larger boats. Would look nice, ( what little you could see, due to size ) but question is: is it woth the $$$, time, or any benefit, if any, of installing it.
Answer: Personal preference. Just something else to polish & clean, and would be hard to clean most of it, I would assume once engines back in.
I would paint the compartment a different color before I put diamond plate in a 31. Just an opinion.....
