Here is some pics of my boat. 2005 C180 with Hydroturf mats in light gray color and cut groove patterns.
I also added in a Keel guard to protect the hull whenever i decide to beach it in sand bars & beaches....
I choosed the light gray instead of the usual black because i wanted to keep the light color interior and i founded the black mats gives a too dark contrast with the white and gry inside the hull, i like it like that.....here it is....

BTW....best pricing i did found was at:
http://ad-discountpe...=1054_1055_2_26
They offer free shipping for order over 250$....very nice...!!! Keel guard comes from them too...
BTW...i am the one that cutted the end of that Keel guard at angle like that as from factory it cam cutted clean at 90 degree....i wanted it angled, but since then i sanded the knife marks and buffed it to a smooth finish....

Did the keel guard affect your performance at all?. I've considered adding one, but don't know if I will lose any speed, ability to do 360s etc?

Looks great!

Sweet!

Those are the first pics I've seen of the light gray actually on the Challenger. I really think that color matches up best. I will be ordering the same for my swim platform and boarding step. Thanks for positng them and helping to make my decision.

jeepster,

Can you do me a favor, try also uploading your pictures in our Gallery here, http://seadoosportbo...o...eq=sc&cat=6? Since we overhauled the website, we haven't had any recent pictures uploaded in the Gallery, I would like to make sure everyone is still able to upload in the Gallery with no issues.

Thanks for the good words guys, i also really like the light gray as it matches really good the boat trims.
It is effectively more easy to make up your mind when you do see actual results with member pictures...!

Didn't loose any performance at all, and the boat can do anything it did before, so it is basically not noticeable at any point, exception that i went boating yester day and did beach the boat all day in small rock chips looking like gravel....at the end of the day absolutely no marks, scratches, or anything on the hull, this is expensive at purchase but it is doing a wonderfull job at protecting your hull.....i'm pretty sure without it my hull would have been very damaged from all that gravel on the shore. I highly recommend this option....will definitely save your V-hull from loosing the precious gelcoat and exposing the fiberglass...!

Kevin: Not able to post the links in the gallery section, i tried many versions, like BBcode, direct internet link, etc... still give me a message like, an error occured please contact the admin....or something like that. Is there something special needed to do...?

Can you please try it again, I just did a test from an account that should have the same permissions as your account and it seemed to work just fine? If you go here, http://seadoosportbo...o...eq=sc&cat=6, you should be able to click on the "New Image" button, this should give you a form similar to the post form but this will allow you to upload an image in the Gallery. Please let me know if this still gives you issues so I can investigate further. I really appreciate your help!

It did work this time, i realized that on the gallery i must upload my picture directly to your site, as in the posts i can cut & paste links to a host for my pictures.

BTW...maybe it would put less strain on your server if you would only allow links to host instead of full hosting of the galleries...?

Now i want to set-up my avatar, and also put online my own member gallery....how do i do for my own gallery...?

jeepster,

Thanks for trying this again.

We would rather host the pictures in our Gallery than worrying about other hosts. Typically pictures get removed from other hosts after a period of time or sometimes those hosts are down so we like to have them hosted locally so the pictures are always available.

If you would like your own Personal Gallery read more about getting this feature here, http://seadoosportbo...-Club-t610.html.

Thanks again for your help.
