Lol that's what ran through my mind as I was typing that. Lol awesome show.
So many great one liners.

I think I should contact the moderators because my thread is getting de-railed. Oh wait, it's the moderators that are the ones derailing my thread!

It's a good thing. It means people are actually reading your thread.

De-Railing a thread is a form of Flattery

Well, turns out I didn't have to kill my carpet to get my floor up. My floor on my 2008 XLV is held in by screws from the inside of the seat bases. The only screws that are going down are the three obvious ones that are at the driver's feet.

But the floor did have to come up to remove the 3/4 in hose (zip tied in) and to route the 1" hose in its place.

No way. My OCD is worried that if I hit that with a hose or power washer, the splash back would make an even bigger mess in parts of the boat above the floor and then I'd spend a week cleaning the interior cursing myself. I'd leave it alone, I can't see any benefit to cleaning it.

If I do anything, I'll use some simple green and a few rags. It wouldn't get it perfect but could tidy it up a bit so that jmvotto's head doesn't explode.

we'll see.
