What would you see installed on a Classic Outrage 19 to complete the whole image of the model? What would be your preferred choices? Dont lie Dont Cheat And dont give up..

And Larry, I am trying to stay fateful to the OEM and would love to secure a replacement for this rubber model here. I am exploring of sources and possible left over parts from the vast Whaler groups here on the lists. I am not an American Picker but would still enjoy great pricing. Leads would be appreciated.
