Fter looking at this for a while, I really like the open look. Just gunna have to do it in plexi glass. I really don't want to cover it up. But if I want to have these on board :boobeyes: I'll need to keep all moving parts covered.:grumble: A plexi gaurd would do that. This will work for now.

I beg to differ Jimmy! Looks fantastic that way! Maybe a little more stretching....did you put some foam under the Vinyl? Then a hairdryer.....looks damn near perfect for your boat! ;)

Now.......we're gonna talk about some Zephyr polish on that blower though.......

Ray

ON a personal note, and just an idea, but the vinyl across the top of the guard should be the teal color of the first inset on your seats......Just me, but I think it would set it off.....

Ray long time no see. Just wanted something there so the hunnies don't get their hair torn out.lol I'll be the one pulling any hair in my pyle.lol

What polish do you recommend? The boat cover didn't breath for a few weeks and the rain didn't help either. You got something that will remove the white spots turned grey?
