the striping is $25.00 per 150' roll, I looked at it closely last night, it is not the exact dup of what you have, but the width is the same and the colors are all there, just some different widths of each color, there were so many rolls of striping it hurt your brain to try and differentiate between them all.  I think I got the last two TM stickers, they had plenty of the teal green "Aquasport" vinyl that would go on the aft sides of the boats, but they only had one of the gold colored ones, that would go on the TM model.  I am not 100% sure I am going to use the TM stickers, I'll let you know...

After hearing about Marcs' good luck I made a trip down to Marine Connection today!It was a good time they have alot of stuff for the genmarian Aqs. They even had an exact double of my leaning post...$995!I guess if you want it bad enough,they did have alot of wellcraft and Aq pinstriping and lettering,small aq stick on badges,like the ones they put on the seats and bolsters,be prepared to spend 2-4 hour there.I found a roll of pinstriping to replace the sun damaged one on my gunnels as well as this stuff.....

this is the tag off a piece of canvas I found in a dump bin

it is the original canvas to make sort of a cabin out of the console,a portapot goes in there {for the ladies}
I was amazed to find this little treasure in a dump bin $20!The canvas was the same gray color as the console enclosure,they also have some random wellcraft and aq windows for hardtops $10,however they are in a big bin all mixed up with other brands,look for the grey stuff

a new sprayer and hose for the freshwater washdown,the old one was tired looking

One other thing I found was a gauge hole cover ,I have been wanting to remove the "seakey" system that came with the boat,and never worked.Seabob,there was alot of wires that hooked up to the panel,ok just to leave them as is?



also I spoke with the owner about this site,he said he would check it out. :salut:

Pete,
As long as the wiring for the SeaKey system doesn't interfere with operating the boat, you can just leave them there...just make them look pretty!

Ah, the old "Seat Tent"...I remember when I got my first one in the canvas package from Taylor with the windscreen, I took it out, slipped it on the seat, and said..."You've got to be kidding me..." :lol:

The striping runs from about $14 - $25 (max, the $25 is for brand new 150' rolls.  They did not have any more TM emblems?? I'm on the fence, but leaning towards putting them on.  I will probably wait until I get that wide striping on, and see how it looks.  I want to name her, and not sure if the side will get too crowded with the TM and and a full name on the side?? If I don't use them, their yours if you want them. If you go over there, have a list of things, and measurements of those things, in some areas of the building the stuff is just stacked up, and you really have to know exactly what you are looking for.

Glock,yes it does,my wife would hold it before using the live well,lol,if anything we'll use a bucket,even if I never use it I just couldn't pass it up.

Marc,l put my boat name on the wide part of the gunnel ,bought a roll of thin striping that goes near the top of the gunnel,marine conn is definately overwhelming,no more logos,just the "cat" ones, saw the panel you bought it looks brand new.hope you put on the logos it will look great with the stripe.

will replace top stripes above boat name

You know the saying, "Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while"  last two days, SINCE THE MONSOONS have stopped, I have been working on installing some of the stuff from down south.  Made a new gauge panel from Lexan (painted backside black) came out sweet, pulled the POS Northstar F-210 fuel management harness out, and lubed up the new yamaha FMS harness with Dawn (always on the boat now with the oil thing going on) and I can't believe it pulled right through, that stuffing tube looks like it has more crap in it than a port-o-let at a BBQ festival, but it went... (first nut).  

Then this afternoon, I went for the new swtich and CB panel that I got down there, looked the same, but there was one additional brown bilge wire in the square (hot) plug and one additional ground in the ground plug, my figuring (Bob) is that was for a FWD Bilge Pump?? Anyway after adding the couple devices that I have added, and hooking all the plugs up.... EVERYTHING lit off just as advertised!! right across the panel, the only adjustment was on the Nav light switch I had to play around with the hot feeds to get my newly installed T-Top anchor light to come on by itself when in the "anchor" position. (second nut)

No gremlins, no cussing too much, although.... I must believe that the console was wired before installed on the boat... some of those wire tie screw in things were in places where I had to pull muscles I didn't know I had to get them loose, or Genmar had elves doing the wiring  :lol:  :lol: ya'll have a good one.

Marc,
I never used the ty-wraps with the mounting eyes.  Hated those damn things!  Always Adel cushion clamps for me, my boss didn't mind.  The problem is :*: that is wired to the deck or hull before the boat was decked.  Most builders really don't care that the wiring has to be dealt with several years down the road...

I have Alex Buck's (fabuck71) 200 out next to my shop right now. I can attest for that...

Yeah, I'll get some pics up when I get finished, looks like he-DBL-L under the console right now, but the switch and gauge panels are going to be sweet.  My friend in Jax has an in with a fab shop over there, I sent him the original gauge panel, and he is going to have the guy bust one out of high polished aluminum, when I get that back I'll take some pics, the Lexan may be temporary.  Do you know if the gauge panel on the 245 and 225 ospreys were identical?? we could get some of these made up if they turn out nice?

Yes they were, even with twins...
