Tons of parts waiting to go in the boat still!
Installed my sound system last night. I went with a kenwood head unit, 4 kenwood 6.5 speakers and a 10" sub and amp.
I also detailed a small test spot to see how it would come back and I gotta say I'm impressed. With the steps I used, it came back to near new condition.

The upholstery looks great! which kit did you buy? I still need to do the upholstery on my boat.
My original seat covers have a small Sea-Doo logo in the middle of the seats maybe 1" high by 7" wide. Actually your letter size looks correct just without the yellow frame around the letters.

I tried to order it from Keith at seadooupholstery.com but I never got a email or call back on it so I went with ZZ-Auto thats on eBay. The covers are very nice material but you have to modify some things to make them perfect.
I have stencils that are a replicas of the original seadoo logos and the special paint so ill mess with it over the weekend. The decal you see in the photo gets paint applied then the decal is removed leaving just the letters.

random not necessarily related post to the resto. These motors have the accel pumps on the carbs, correct? I know I converted my XP to a primer as it starts worlds faster after sitting for a long time, compared to a choke. Does the accel pump help with these? I noticed you chose to keep the choke cables.....just curious. Also haven't noticed any boat convert to using a primer.....that I've seen.

Nick,
Here is my dash. I added Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) gauges and moved my gas gauge to the lower left. I also replaced the cigarette lighter with a volt meter. I don’t like the starter buttons, someone on the forum did a nice job replacing them with lighted flush buttons – on my “to do list”.

In my opinion the boat doesn't start any faster with the pumps. I still have to tap the choke to fire it up. I thought about doing a primer kit on each motor but it would be a pain to run all the lines to the front

I've been contemplating a boat resto ever since my xp completion. My plan was to run dual primers when that day came, but never see it on boats.
