    New 206

    Picked up my new to me 2004 206 Elite this weekend. Looking forward to the rehab project, and will
    likely have some questions!
    Plan a full Rewire, new pumps and hoses, fiberglass repairs and wet sand/ buff, possibly a lithium conversion 211C8E45-2083-458A-933E-3BB5E46AFBA6.jpeg24E3E8DD-C539-4334-B26B-EF0C5FC5EDC7.jpeg4D1D2914-B4EA-43B5-A956-1944B5856EBD.jpeg
    You can see my old 181 in back on last pick. Will miss that one but looking forward to a bigger boat!

    I don’t really know why the pictures formatted that way, I am getting used to the interface here!
    So, first question: does anybody know what these are? There are four of them, two on each side. They look too small to be an attachment for a Bimini top, but that’s about all I can think of.037BF80D-7EAA-46B4-94A5-4F9292711A3E.jpeg

    Good deal I have a 2003 206 with 250xs there a fine boat. I haven't rewired nothing even the pumps still work. It has to be the easiest boat to load at the ramp, I mean even if your a bit crooked it still turns you back and up u go. Your trailer looks very familiar except for that diamond plate up front.

    My 181 is basically impossible to mis-load. Hope this one is as well.
    Honestly I’ll really miss driving the 181, but looking forward to a larger fishing platform

    Think that’s for night lights to plug in. That boat doesn’t look like it needs any work.

    It has some glass damage that needs repair. The rest is just me wanting to make a boat as new as possible for my own peace of mind

    I have the same boat, 2004 206 DC Elite , mine also has the white as the base color but silver and red metal flake on the side, my trailer is white with stainless steel fenders with the diamond plate on the fenders like yours. It looks like the diamond plate and a step were added up front by the hand winch.

    You will love the boat, its ride and fish ability. As said above the loading is great just noise it into the guides and let it settle it will fall right into place then power it up always straight. I converted mine fron 24V trolling motor to 36V and have replaces livewell pumps and bulge pumps thats it.

    The little add on things you are asking about no idea that didn't come standard?

    Could those be for pole holders for trolling?
