I used a set of jumper cabled took the ends off and crimped on the new ends

Well at this point I think we all know that the black will draw heat. The inside of my boat is sprayed with bed liner and the boat is OD green and I cant tell that much different if any from my buddy's red and white stratos. With that being said I think the boat is going to serve his purpose. Keep us posted.
