My 08 196

Mark-S sent this little gem down to me. We've been burning up the water for the last month with it.

Awesome color combo! I've been eyeing that boat since Mark listed it. Sounds like it found a good home! Congrats!!

Sweet boat. The black is super easy to care for. I miss it already but we pulled the main balls off the course on Sunday. Anyone need a 2006 Response LXI loaded with tower and wedge? I need to sell for the club so we can get a ZO boat.

The black is a little more difficult to keep clean in our chocolate milk water. Especially hanging in a boat lift. I make the college kids clean it up if they want to ski behind it. lol

It sure is funny how everyone poo-poo'd the heater. Then the high 50 degree mornings set in and they sure do like to use mine now. LOL

Its nice having the vent up by the windshield. Keeps it clear for the driver

It has to be over 70 degrees for me to turn off the heater! Worth their weight in gold!

Try using one of those Swiffer floor cleaner things, but put a microfiber towel in it.

I'll try that, Dave! Thanks!

Where are all the vents? ...and do you connect a hose?

[2gofaster]

Two vents in the drivers footwell and one defroster vent on top of the dash aimed at the windshield.

That's what I have in the 206. And the vents (best I can tell) don't accept a hose or pull out.

I sure would like to improve that. Ideas?

Will a heater craft hot tube swap in and fit? ...without a bunch of mods.

[ClemsonDave]

When I installed one back in my '99, I didn't bother with the windshield vent as it doesn't get that cold here (or I don't go out on those days). I put all three in the kick panel. Two were pull out and one was fixed. That way, the driver could keep his feet warm and put a tube under his sweatshirt. The passenger could also use a pull out tube.

Over the winter I'm going to pull my kick panel out to get to the PP harnes. (CB guys get to just lift the spotter seat.) While I'm there, I'll see if I can get a hot tube in there.

[swc5150]

A hot tube can be swapped at the heater chassis. It's an easy change out.
