    Hand washing vehicles in the driveway

    Definitely hand wash. Those tunnel washes great for hammering paint and causing swirl marks in the paint.

    to buy....or not to buy

    Wow! Overall looks in great condition. Cabin looks clean too. The cabin on my 02 S/R DA was nasty. Now it has new carpet and new upholstery. You got it at a good price just in time for boating season. Enjoy.

    Speakers popping while trimming

    The 4 channel clarion marine amp died end of LY in our 240 SA. During the holidays, I installed an Alpine amp. It is a car amp versus the previous marine amp.
