I sprayed the outdrive with flat white paint. I removed the shift cover and removed the 270 plate and used model paint to give it a new color scheme. Its been raining here for many days so I had to do something that could be done inside. You should have seen my girlfriends face when I had that dirty part on the coffee table! Not to mention the vinal pieces on the kitchen table!!! Ha Ha The exaust and drive bellows look good....I went over them with 3m rubber reconditioner, If this boat treats me well, They will be replaced next winter.
