Looking real good man. Just needs some hydro turf.

 

[noizeytoys]

just two more

 

[noizeytoys]

i thought about the hydroturf just can't make up my mind on a color

 

[rickster_a1]

WOW looks great!! Where did you get the keel shield? Also, did yours come with the extra front seat or did you order that? I bet the matching green hydroturf would look great.

 

[noizeytoys]

i bought the keel shield on ebay and i made the middle bow cushion. i am leaning towards the green but don't know if it will be too much.

Thought we had the same tower, they're probably made by the same company, but they just came out with quick release nobs..

if they are the same thred i would really like the quick knobs, right now i have 4 t-6's i have to remove to fold it down

I just remove the upper bolts, then lay the arms down...I'm pretty sure they're 6mm, give a call tohttp://www.h2osportswarehouse.com/, they'll know the size of them, mine are at home or I'd look for you..

where did you mount the second battery?

 

[noizeytoys]

i put the battery and the amp inside the storage compartment behind the glove box.

 

[JWLogsdon]

[noizeytoys]

thanks for lookin jw

 

[bena4]

nice seats... something you order or were they custom?

 

[bena4]

any pics? of the second battery?

 

[noizeytoys]

all the seats were recovered (seadooupholstery.com) except the front bow cushion i made. there is a pic of the second battery in #2 post.

 

[JWLogsdon]

noiseytoys... you inspired me to add the last of my LED's that are going under the waterline on the outside of my boat. I realized I need MORE LED'S!!!! I finished this morning and will post Picks later. I also Installed my radio at X-mas time but never posted pics yet.

 

[noizeytoys]

i thought about putting the leds under the water line but didn't know how much i would really use them and i don't like the ideas of holes there..haha

Driver and Passenger Seat

Very nice. I have a 98 - 1800. Question on the Driver and Passenger seat. Mine are different - with a back and seat pad. Did you have yours done custom?? My seats are very uncomfortable!!

 

[noizeytoys]

thats how the 97 1800 seats are....98 and up r the style u have.

 

[JesseSeaDoo]

Oh well... too much time and $$ invested now! Will have to wait for my 2011! Did you opt for Hydro Turf? I am looking at it, but am not sure their "Dark Green" is a match to the SeaDoo Green on the 1800's. Thoughts?

 

[noizeytoys]

i don't think the green is a match either thats one of the reasons i haven't got it yet. i'm also worried about it staining because it is very easy to clean without the hydroturf.

 

[JesseSeaDoo]

I was just looking to do rear boarding area only. Anyone else pick a color from them that is a great fit to the SeaDoo 1800 Green??!

Great mods. Gave me a few ideas. Especially the tower.
