Thanks everyone! I really like the way the speakers turned out. The paint is
Krylon Fusion for
Plastic, gloss white. No primer or other prep on the grilles, just 3-4 light-moderate coats. Due to the profile of the grilles you have to paint the backs too, since you see the back sides when they're mounted. The
Krylon Fusion does an excellent job on these. Up close they look like white powder coated metal. The only issue is that there's almost no clearance between the screw heads and the
plastic, and I need to touch up a couple of spots with a brush now that they're installed. If you haven't yet replaced your Clarions with Polks, be aware the screw hole pattern is a bit larger on the Polks and the connectors are smaller. So you'll have to drill new holes and either replace the connectors on the harness or make adapters as I did.

Do you find she slides a lot better on the new carpet?
Since I had the bunk work done at fall winterization, we haven't launched since it was done so I'll have to get back to you. In my case, I'm more concerned about the greater bunk surface area making it harder to launch & load. Are you getting your trailer in deep enough? I wouldn't expect new carpet alone to make any difference.

Bring your buckets!
I put the charger on my batteries last night. These are the originals, now 5 years old, and with the new storage unit we use there's no power available so they sat through the longest, coldest winter we've had in 75 years with no charging (I'm lazy when it comes to pulling batteries - it's a pain in this boat). Neither of them were able to charge to more than 73% of capacity. Since we're only on inland lakes, have dual batteries, and always take a jumper pack along (belt and suspenders), I'll get one more season out of them and replace them next spring. These are Interstate dual purpose group 27's and they've been excellent; I'll replace them with the same.
