    Beautiful boat!!! I have a couple of questions for you... 1, which Polk's are those? 2, do you like the Macerator switch in that location? I need to mount a switch on my boat and I was thinking under the rear seat cup holders by the starboard power cut off switch.

    Those are the Polk MM. I went with Polk because they are one of the only, maybe the only, speaker that is truly waterproof, as the tweeter is separate so the main come is totally sealed. I also went with the Polk marine sub and 5 channel amp and left the factory clarion head unit. It sounds awesome!!

    I don't use the macerator on the boat. But the switch location would be good for another switch, as it's just above the refreshment counter top. What type of switch are you adding?

    @jbschmalz23 - that is a great looking boat! I don't think they left the factory any cleaner than that and they certainly didn't have your custom up-grades. 300 hours on a 496 is barely broken-in. Some one is going to get a fantastic boat. Best of luck!

    @Michael T, it's your color. Even though it's not a 360, it would get you back into a boat! :)

    Thanks guys! I am very OCD when it comes to my boats. LOL.  And I like all the bells and whistles.  @jme097 ,  I found a couple really nice loaded up used 360s with the right power plants, etc. I thought about going ahead and pulling the trigger with an offer and survey on the one, but would feel better about it if I sold the 280. I told my wife it's kind of a win-win, as we love our 280, so if it sells we definitely want the bigger boat, but if it doesn't, we have a great boat already.

    Just did another price reduction!! I must want that 360/370 pretty bad! Lol.  Just picked the 280 up from service. Had all the bellows, anodes and the works done to make sure it is all like new. Just dropped it off at the detailer!

    Hey y'all!

    Hoping to pick this beauty up next week! Excited to join in on the fun!

    BTW - wasn't even shopping for a boat - but saw this on FB and the wife, looking over my shoulder, said "You getting a boat for your birthday this year?"

    Welcome aboard, Mike! This forum is the best group of knowledgeable Rinker folks. I don't think there's an issue that someone on here doesn't know how to fix!
