Dehydration Solution in 08 Response LXI

[dhcomp]

Ok, so i love my RLXI. Biggest shortfall was passenger side cup holders though.

Bow cup holders are good, rear seat cupholders( well, cup warmers since no box insulation) work fine, drivers side has one good one.

Decided to fix the problem. Also added a 2nd drivers cupholder, cause one is always filled with ipod/phone, etc.

What do you guys think?

[Faceplant409]

I think you did a factory-esq job!

Nice work!

[cyoda44]

Is it removeable and are you willing to sell one?

THanks for the compliments.

Yes, its just a slip fit with a neoprene koozie protecting the pylon.

Not really into it to make them to sell, but $$$ talks, haha.

I used a 6" square plastic garden drain grate thing wiht a 3" pipe deal on teh bottom.

Then just got some stainless poker table cupholders off of ebay.

A little bit of 1/4" plastic, some time, and a 3" hole saw, and it was done!

That looks great.

You should have patented it before you gave away the secret on the crew.

[SmoothWaterMan]

I know a certain guy in NH that is dieing for one of those! That's a nice job too.

That second cup holder is something I will copy. Good idea!

I did it 2 years ago and it does come in handy. Holds my drink and then when I go to ride the next driver also has an empty cup holder to use too.

[CTSunsetter]

...but what if you have a boom mount?

[SunriseH2OSkier]

Very nice!

Can you post a few more pics of it to show the construction a little better?

I think I found my next project.

[DWhynot]

Outstanding! Where do I send the royalties?

I'll be fabricating mine this weekend.

Do you know they forgot to put cupholders in my 'vette? (I spill more damn drinks in this boat)...I only have the two beverage "warmers" in the the back of the motor box.

[WakingMeHappy]

Wow, looks like a professional job. I think I see my winter project coming together.

[MalibuTime]

The VXT comes with two on the drivers side, but now you've got me thinking... hmm. I always seem to bring a lot of crap along that gets dumped down there.

[onamission]

Shouldn't your drink be in your hand?

[Baddog]

With this idea you could be on your way to your first million.

Been waiting for my dealer to cut the hole for the 2nd cup holder!

ROFL!! I've been cutting lots of holes! If I had your boat, I could cut a hole in it too! hehehe.

I thought all you wanted for christmas was a pylon cup tray.

Thanks to advice from a fellow crew member, I had my dealer add a second one when I purchased my LXi. I've been considering adding a third one: keys, cell phone, etc all handy in this area!

So if anyone does this, consider doing two more, not just one!

It looks very nice, but what do you do with the ski rope? I have mine hanging on a velcro hanger on the pylon when not in use. It would hang right on top of any cups in that cup holder.

Simply a matter of priorities: nice place for the ski rope vs. awesome comfy home for the all important beverages.

So which one of you fockers is making money off my design?
