Interesting regarding the flip up sunpad. The side of the engine housing has a lip molded in to support it. My 19SPX does not have that. In fact the entire rear of the engine housing and blower ports are completely different. See picture below. Your pic on left, my boat on right:

My newest upgrade. Garmin echomap 43cv.
If anyone figured out where to purchase the table please share, I would love to add it to my 21 SPX.
Did you install the Garmin yourself? What type of transducer did you use and how did you mount it? I really want to do this and do a transom mount transducer so I can get water temp data as well but don't love the idea of screwing into / drilling through the hull.

Your upgrades are looking good. I'm going to be adding the SeaDek sections like you did. CSR is always good at giving me ideas to spend my discretionary income

I did install the GPS myself. I used the stock GTM20 transducer and just epoxied it into the bilge. I couldn't bring myself to drill holes in the transom to do the correct mount. I haven't yet splashed the boat for the season so I don't know how well it is going to work.

I PM'd my CSR buddy Dennis (aka LazyDaze) who is a great resource when it comes to SR's or boats in general. He said SR won't sell the seating options/cushions because they didn't produce them. Their European plant who made them won't sell them here in the U.S because they didn't make the boat and can't guarantee a fit. They probably could get the info on what type of vinyl was used if you wanted to have a local shop do the custom work. Now as far as the table goes, you can order that since it's the same round table used on many SeaRays. He seems to think it's about 24-25" wide.
I guess you would also need the ski locker door with the threaded insert to accept the table...

Garelick 75340 and be comfortable with cutting a 4" hole in your ski storage locker. http://www.garelick.com/Stowable-Table-Pedestals-For-Smaller-Boats-2.25 then modify your carpet to accommodate base.

I think you jinxed meOk folks - so here's the first upgrade I've done on the boat.
We like to leave the seating on the port side of the boat set up in the 2 passenger bench mode. I quickly noticed that in this configuration, the entire front edge of the back seat cushion is completely unsupported. With someone sitting there facing the starboard side of the boat, the seat sags considerably and stresses the piano hinge that connects the cushion to the seat. There is no doubt that the hinge would be bent and/or ripped out within the first season of use if left like this. When the forward seat is stored underneath the back seat, this condition does not exist, as the entire back seat cushion is supported. See image below:
In order to remedy the situation, I removed the solid support that is attached to the undserside of the removable front seat cushion and used it as a template to create a permanent support for the back seat cushion. I took the support, screwed it to a piece of 3/4" MDF, rough cut it with a jigsaw and then used a router with a flush cut bit to make an exact duplicate of it. I then rounded over the edges with 1/4" roundover bit, sealed the MDF with a shellac based primer and then painted it with white gloss latex paint. I put it in place underneath the back seat cushion and problem solved.
I'm not sure how the MDF will last long term - I may redo this using a 3/4" think piece of HDPE or other type of plastic if the MDF becomes water damaged.
Sorry I don't have any pictures of the finished product, but the boat is shrink wrapped right now. I'll get some posted when I open it up in the spring.
was out with the boat today and the screws rip right out of the back seat among other broken items
