Tell me where to get the stainless cup holders and I will order tonight, stupid question but do all the cup holders come out? Are they a standard size?

Thanks
Yea there just held in with silicone.
I think they are 4 inch cup holders. Do want themto light up? Leds are the way to go. Look at the cobalt upgrade thread. Bfun just added a different style to his. Led ring on the outside of the holder. Mine are led inside the holder. Ebay search led or just stainless steel cupholder. Best investment I make
Thank you, going to eBay now
If you can get to them from underneath just give it a pop from the bottom they will come out easy.

Sweet boat and awesome color scheme. Glad to hear your F-150 can lug that thing around. That’s impressive because it makes that truck look tiny.

The folks I got it from are conservative and the slow cruiser type, I was completely shocked to see that was the motor combination they bought. Docking it last weekend was a real nail biter for me, but it went ok.
Welcome!! Beautiful boat! With a tiny bit of practice you'll realize that docking with twins is far easier than a single. Several years ago we did a Lake Powell trip on a 53' houseboat with twin outboards and I was nominated to captain the houseboat since the other guys were all busy with their own boats. Didn't take much practice to realize how much more flexibility and maneuverability twins gives you...I felt like a pro docking that thing, even compared to the 22' inboard and 25' I/O I had been used to.
I like your optimism, but using the drives was a bust on my first practice but I will keep trying. Thanks for the encouragement

Yes, it does dwarf the truck and it appears to squash the rear but that’s because I have a leveling kit that raises the front end well above stock. The truck pulled that thing out of the Big hills around lake of the ozarks with no problem. The Ford turbo motor is a beast, Tow’s like a diesel.

Hey MikeBo - Almost forgot. I have a one time used full mooring cover for a 292 that I'd sell REAL CHEAP. Was a dealer left-over, tried it on our 293 and some of the bimini cutouts were not 100% aligned. It'd fit your's perfectly. Make and offer and let's get it to you!

Also, see you're in Stilwell. We're south OP, by the Arboretum. Not far away at all.
Holy tried to send you a pm but not sure if I did it right. Thanks

It's the no knot daisy chain....its brilliant... He's a prepared captain! We gotta step up our game!
Exactly. I always called it a Monkey Braid. Careful Nauti your sailor is showing!

Here's how to do it:
