290SC DIY & Upgrades
Finished up some at home upgrades and thought I'd share. Boat had purple/ yellow combo and the yellow wasn't working for me. Stripe above rail was removed first back in June, then the yellow stripe on the sun pad along with new rub rail. I just completed the sides this weekend and updated the registration numbers as well. Plans to redo the graphics are last on my list of mods so this will hold me over for the time being. Prep and taping off were time consuming but it was worth the effort. Used spray paint then wet sanded for a smooth finish on the sides and vinyl paint for the pad. Have some purple touch up on the way to clean up some spots as well. Glad it's almost done and happy with the results.

Thanks guys! I'll keep adding updates for the heck of it.
The original Guest charger from 2003 was removed and replaced with a 3 bank ProMariner ProTournament charger. The boat had acid, gel and AGM batteries. Converted to all AGM and needed a better charging system to keep the batteries healthy. New charger has a test option to see each individual output status... no more guessing what's running low. Half the weight as well. Forgot to take finished install pic. Should probably invest in a new isolator soon as well.

Christmas just came early for me! Kenny and Bryan just completed another upgrade on the 290. I spent a great deal of time trying to design the interior via Photoshop and input from Kenny was essential to keep it looking cool but functional for the way we use it. Bryan has an attention to detail and steady hand for sure when he sews this stuff together... talented man! Kenny was in full contact with me all the way with pics and info... awesome! The patience these guys afforded me was outstanding and I can't thank them enough for knocking this project out of the park. Would love to post all 6 million pics I have but will break it down to a friendly few here. Thanks a million LTB!!
