My 260 Prowler has 6 cupholders, 2 on either side of the rear bench, and 4 in the cabin. The Sonic dealer wants $25 BUCKS APIECE for the little bastards. Eddiemarine.com has some for $10 bucks each. Will these fit Sonic openings????
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hey boss,
Boaters World, $.99, When i used to be the manager of the one in Solomons Island i had to get new ones before i sold my 22ft sonic. There is one in Springfield, also a West Marine on Rt 1 heading towards National Airport i believe, i think they have them too. Those are the ones with a little hole drain, and then it is a small "hole" and then it spreads out to a bigger "hole"
Hey you bringing that fast bad ass rig to Solomons Island for the Tiki bar opening this weekend, about 10,000 people, performance boats out the "wazuu(sp)"
Take care, Mark

sydwayaz23 the cup holders that you are referring to are they the ones that are plastic in the rear bench seat? i replaced all of mine with the metal powder coated ones from eddie marine (the large ones ) for $10 a piece , they look great. the old ones just pull out and the new ones fit perfect!don't forget to order the cork insert for the bottom of the holder to prevent scratching the powder coating.

I am definately going for the Eddie Marine billet cupholders then. The Sonic ones are faaaar too overpriced. I also believe they are from Rex Marine, and I am not please with what my Rex Marine Battery boxes corroded into (crap).
The Tiki Bar sounds great Mark, but I am not going to make it this weekend. I am going to help CheckmateF1 stick in his motor, and hpefully we will test run on Sunday together.
Have fun enough for the both of us! I will head down there sometime this year, promise. Probably via water.

Several conflicts here. I guess I will get a full defintion from Eddiemarine.com on how they measure the diameter (inside open hole diameter, outside of jacket diameter, or outside of flange diameter), and then compare it to my cheapy plastic cupholders, and order from there.

sydwayz23, had ordered cup holders from eddie marine , the large ones 3 3/4 , but found that they are a hair to big for the arm rests in the back bench seat . the right size for that application is the 3 3/8 med holders that's what i exchanged them for. my boat does not have them in the cabin. the vents you ordered are pretty close fit but need i think one hole out of four redrilled , not to bad and you won't see the original hole because the new vent covers it , they look really nice!!!
