Got them from this exact seller on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/John...9553145QQptZBoatQ5fPartsQ5fAccessoriesQ5fGear I repainted the hood with Rustoleum. I had to because it originally had this plastic strip that went the whole way around it that I removed and it left TONS of holes. OMC really didn't want that thing fallin' off! http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/ezmobee/Boat Project/motor.jpg
