Default upgrade on 96 talari

Hi all. I haven't posted on here in forever, but I still get on and check out the posts from time to time. I've done a few upgrades lately on my '96 z240 Talari that may interest some. I replaced to original bucket seats with some I found on ebay that were really made for a Larson, but bolt right up to the Mariah pedstals. Old ones sat too low and the backrest was weak. If you leaned back against the backrest, it felt like the back of it would break at any time. The new ones are very comfortable and has a flip up bolster that comes in very handy. I took my old graphics off and replaced the Mariah sheild and logo with a newer design. I think the logo script was on the 2001 models, not sure. I think it looks better though. FInally got her on the water last week for the first time this year and she's running strong as always. I'm thinking of welding up some guide rails with pads for the trailer that would mount on the back sides of the trailer to help when loading up. Anyone have a setup like that?

As long as you have a few nuts, bolts and screws left over after the job is done, it should work!
