PROJECT TIME....what are you guys doing this off season to your rigs????

[low slung cruiser]

mine just needs a REALLY good cleaning, mostly on the inside...

also, gonna redo the trailer bunks and replace a couple tires...

[GamblerPro2]

Just batteries and packing bearings.

[jm817782]

No off season here but Cleaning up the back turned into a few upgrades...

lithium batteries, new pump cartridges, HDS lives for the bow and console, structure 3D, sonic hub, boat buckles, 14” atlas jackplate, trim gauge and a battery monitoring gauge.... next up is livescope and maybe some custom rub rail lighting.

Ordered a suede momo steering wheel, installed Nmea2000 pressure sensors and wired the new transducer inside the ulterra shaft.

New to me 2100, compounding the deck, new carpet, stainless latches, tires, bearings, brakes, motor decal set, gel coat chips underneath and install electronics. Hopefully its nice when its done.

It’s not mine butttt....I just restored the finish on a 99 2200 for a customer. He also wanted lime sea deck in the cockpit area, I reupholstered the seats and added lime green accents, new GAMBLER decals in lime, and new Merc cowl decal set in lime. Came out purdy neat....different.

Rub rail rewiring some stuff the previous owner did maybe adding a Lowrance Ghost.

[XingEyeballs]

Pretty quiet this year, changed the winch and going to replace the pedestal inserts. Good compound, polish, and wax and she’ll be ready.

Last year....trick step, Ultrex, full electronics install(3-helix 12’s SI units w/ precision sonar mounts), rewired a full electronics platform with fuse blocks, switches, and dedicated circuits, tires, wet sanded, full compartment and deck lighting, hydraulic pistons on all the lids, vinegar washed the carpet....my wallet appreciates the quiet winter

Edit...I’m sorry, didn’t notice this wash on the gambler page....

Thinking of doing diy marine mat on my 209 anyone done it?

[Babe Winkleworm]

Not sure what marine mat is but I put some closed cell flat floor mats in both my rod lockers I got at Lowe's works great

[Stratovarius]

Currently doing trailer bearings, seals, brake lines, building a new dash for my 209, mounting an hds 9 at the console, an hds 12 at the bow, new hatch pulls, new gauges for said dash and possibly a new hydrodynamics jack plate. . .will take pics of the dash and upload when it's finished as I know some guys want to know how different size units can fit in the old 209 console.

[DTS]

Upgraded my hbird 999 to a helix 10 si on the bow, put new wheels and tires on the trailer. And fishing! Not much of an off season for this ole Gambler!

[GamblerSam]

Having a glass �� of Blanton’s just looking at mine! Never get sick of looking at it or sitting in it in the garage. LOL

[GamblerSam]

Actually, replacing all livewell plumbing and drains, new trailer hydraulic tongue actuator; new wheel cylinders and shoes, new plugs, filters, and bleeding Sea Star steering.

As promised:20200225_200947.jpg20200225_200407.jpg20200225_200400.jpg

As you can see I still haven't re-installed the grab rail, but for the most part, it was a relatively easy thing to flush mount an hds9(gen2touch) into the dash thanks to the previous owner absolutely cutting the living heck out of it

[red rocket]

I put my fat ass Sterling on a diet.She just lost over 200 pounds!

Thanks! Here's what a 209 dash 20200215_133941.jpglooks like without the faceplate and after someone cuts it all up(not me). This was during test fitting of the hds 9:
