  YYZRC, how do you keep the bottom so clean?  Looks brand new.  Also how do you clean your props?  Nice work.  Thanks.

  I used Star Brite hull cleaner. It worked amazing, no effort!! Just spray and hose off. I wiped it to get more out of it. 

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Props I cleaned with 50/50 muriatic acid and water. Spray on hose off.

  @kordo how often do you replace your anodes? I think I could get another season out of these.

  I found a crack in the fitting on the poop tank. Will get it welded rather than spending $1000 on a new one.

  Regarding anodes, I have been replacing half of them each year so that means I get 2 years out of a full set.  They are still in pretty good shape (less than 50% worn) when I replace them but I am erring on the side of caution.

  I think It looks good. Not sure how I feel about the “V” birth, it closes it in.

  The V is original except for the trim above the mirror!

  Is that wooden storage/table (?) at foot of bed original?

  That table top is the original table I believe. Same one I have on my 330.

  Anyone have a template or opinions on best way to proceed?

  The carpet you can easily cut yourself and have binding installed. I used the original carpet as a template.  

  
  

  I really like the stuff I got from marinevinylfabric.com

  Thanks @aero3113 - the word “mildew” was key. I just used the Starbrite mildew remover and it looks brand new now. Zero effort.

  A lot of Starbrite prods work well. Usually a bit cheaper than most too.

  @pcmpete would you be able to take some photos of where the canvas attaches to the hardtop?  I need to install the U channel to hold the canvas bead.  Trying to get a sense of how deep the channel is installed at various points.

  I would think twice on what metal screws to use on any attachment locations

  I will do what Rinker did and use #4 SS screws. Will be fine as I’m in fresh water.

  The company I used to fabricate my new enclousere use SS screws for the track, but they put some grease to every screw to prevent corrosion.

  This is what I have.  I can take better photos the next time I am at the boat.
