Since the ramps were such a shit show yesterday we decided not to brave them today. It was time to get the boat really cleaned up anyways. Didn't realize just how dirty my mats were until I got them cleaned, aside from the obvious stains. They're almost a totally different color. After they dried I treated them really well with 303 fabric guard as well as the swim platform mats got a solid cleaning then treated. Boat got it's normal wash after being used, but the interior got the deep cleaning today. Seats were also wiped down and treated as usual per every usage. Floors got a good scrubbing once I took the mats out. All kinds of nastiness under there from my boat sitting out at the dealer prior to me purchasing it. Also don't worry that tag was discovered shortly after this pic and tucked back under. Just scrolling by the pic and seeing it annoys me. LOL!

what are those mats? Are they factory or an aftermarket addition. I would love to have those instead of carpet in my AR195

added two 10 inch kicker speakers with the LEDs and amp to 2020 AR240. They sound great, but my goodness those wires were a pain to snake through the tower. Went through the very small opening on the front bar where the anchor light wiring runs through, used coat hangers and some electrical tape, many F bombs were dropped.

Went out for the first time.
Sons 13 and 10 love the front bow seats.
Its is now the splash zone.

Not sure where I saw this but (next time) try light weight string at the top hole and a vacuum (to suck the air out of the tube bringing the string with it) at the bottom hole. Really works.

That’s really the best way, if there’s room for the string it will make its way through. There are actually kits with a foam plug (it’s called a mouse) with an eyelet on it, sized for different conduit sizes. Can pull a string through a couple hundred feet of pipe in seconds.

Fresh wash with Dawn, buff, and Rejex for the season. Changed oil, filters, greased intermediate bearings and trailer. I had changed the plugs a few weeks ago before the Florida trip. She is ready to rock for this season. I’d love to add some tower speakers and amp, maybe a sub. Thinking about sealing the pump tunnels as well, I get some cavitation if I peg the throttles from a dead stop.

How far are you coming down?

How did you add picture to your above signature?
Boat looks great BTW.

What did I do? I actually got the boat!

They're factory.

Thanks man! Looks like you got the signature pic figured out. We go to Navarre every year, this year we are going twice. Once a few weeks ago, next trip is last week of July until August 12th or so. My sig pic happens to be outside Flounders in Pensacola.

Compounded, Polished and applied Rejex for the first time. Boat was new to me a year ago, seller said he had it buffed before winter storage, but not sure about that. Was unsure about how far to go, whether to just wash and apply Rejex or do the full compound, polish and then apply. This was my first time and I was a bit apprehensive. Only thing I would've done different was use 3M marine compound b/c I could've used a deeper cut for some scratches. I was short on time and only had this weekend to pull it off so I used 3M auto compound. Regardless, I'm so glad I did it. The results are amazing. If you're on the fence, do it!

Forgot, I also added the Stoltz bow roller...long overdue.

Weather was poor Saturday, so thought I’d mimic @Ronnie by painting my engine covers. Really like how they came out (even though I’m the only one that will see them)

 

[Speedling]

Stickers off. Most the residue gone.
Polishing equipment in garage.
Updated a bit of wiring.
Checked engine anodes but they are in good shape! Oil changed as well.

Nice!! I live about a mile from the Navarre bridge, the sound was beautiful today.

@msjones144, why or the rub rail masked? Where you worried about the 3M compound or Rejex?

Finally got the the Boat Lift leveled, and dock furniture installed (before June 1) Just got to get the canopy on tonight.

Marley approves!

 

[altimatej]

No more shrinkage! Replaced windshield gasket and screw cover molding.

 

[akozar]

Sucked up a stick. Now gotta take apart one of my jet pumps.

I masked the rub rail so I wouldn't have 2 extra crevices to try to dig slung compound out of. Also thinking back, it was probably a good thing for the sake of my polishing pad. If I had hit one of the screw heads I'm sure it would've damaged it very quickly. I guess I was just worried about first time compounding with a rotary buffer after reading about burned gel coat. I wish I had a stronger cutting compound b/c not all the scratches came out like I would have wanted. Otherwise, everything went well. Rejex was awesome to apply, can't wait to see it in action in the water.
