I really appreciate all the members that contribute to this forum. The amount of detailed information that is available in these threads is unbelievable. With your help, I was able to replace stringers and floor (actually, Donny did this part, I just gutted the boat and he did the glass work), constructed new seats, new upholstery, restored teak wood, new dash and gauges, interior LED lights, transom lights, new sound system, and replaced gas tank. Y'all also talked me out of buying a 92 Saltare that the PO had put speakers in the transom. Thanks for the help.

Needs more cupholders. :D

Good looking boat. We don't have too many Marauders around here

Hey I've got a Maurader, I love it. It's about time it gets worked on here soon. Love to find out what resources you had. Not many Maurader owners around! 12941129421294312944http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/13/enyhe8ug.jpg

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments. I mainly boat at Lake Wedowee in Alabama. Vvfdfirefighter - you have a nice looking boat as well. I have never seen that color before - sharp.

Love three things: Stainless steel cupholders, all the gauges you updated to, and the little phone/keys/wallet/ipod stash you built into the dash, very cool.

Stainless cupholders are definately very cool. I ALso like the piston throttle lever handle. You did an awesome job on the boat JMM, It looks great. Nice custom touches, I like the seat patterns too.

I might grow into my switches, I might not. I took out the horn. I added the transom lights and interior lights. I may add an automatic ballast system in the future and I wanted to have the switches already in place. It is difficult to tell from the picture, but he cigarette lighter and USB charger are located between the radio and the cubby hole. I have a 351W.

Thank you, I actually live the color. They still offer it. It's beautiful all shined up! I've got the 454 in mine. The looks she gets rolling down the water and the way she looks heading at you. Love it!

JMM - you're in Newnan? It's such a small world. Inair on this forum is right around the corner from you, and I'm originally from the Newnan area (went to East Coweta High). You need to be sure to join us next year for the Southern Supra Reunion and show off that boat. Looks great and we haven't had a Maurader there yet.

Check out the thread from this year's event for pics: https://forum.supraboats.com/showthread.php?14385-Sign-up-TODAY-for-the-2013-Southern-Supra-Reunion&highlight=southern+supra+reunion
