That yellow is so nice but the interior work is even more impressive. Good work!

Looks like those are new water connections that bolt up perfectly with what factory-installed. I've looked for some online, but have been unable to find them.

Would you mind sharing where you picked them up?

I have a couple of questions... But first I'd like to say that it looks fantastic! Great job!

Where did you get the polycarbonate for the rock guard? I've been looking to replace mine but haven't been happy with what I've found.

And second, in the original set up did yours have a front bunk? If so how was the hardware set up? The previous owner of my surf side hard mounted the bunk and I would like to get it back to original.

hello! new surfside owner

James, my Surfside had the back of the top bunk screwed into the wood below the window with hinges so it could be lowered to be the back of the couch. It had 2 metal rods that slid into the holders mounted on the bottom of the bunk and on the top of the bench. Mine also had 2 door locks with the chains. I hope this helps.
