I had talked to rick at the bham boat show. I been waiting to see the new box. In all honesty my only complaint with my current step box is the cup holders. I got some thought for a modification. Though i do like the new box.. just not sure about scratches in the gel from feet.

I will be getting me one as soon as BCB makes them available.

I figure about 500-600.00. Totally guessing. Just pricing it against what a single console costs. A lot of man hours to make that console.

325.00 would be fair!

The $500 plus ($600) is a pretty good retail estimate and a step box for previous models will require a new part tooled with new molds for replacement only. Color coordination is another challenge as that will be expensive to load up a gel gun to match your boat color. The waste gel alone will cost about $50 a part for one off colors, when factored in. If we could keep the general color on flake and get close that cost would fall. They don’t have a plan for replacement boxes (retro) till just ahead of January.

So after January 2019 purchasing the new box for my 2016 PII in (Black Fox) is a possibility?

Most likely before that though they need to complete tooling on the new Jaguar and 219 TFX and another silent project first.

Likely a while per bcb reply the other day. I suggest looking for that thread.

After looking at my old fashion step box, and figuring $700 shipped for a new one, mine didnt look as bad as I thought.

It’s all cost priced on materials and labor related. Definitely the custom bent stainless grab handle cost is more than one would realize. While we definitely understand the box is costly, we also know it’s cost to manufacture it. For a comparison, we just looked up similar type of products to compare and this one is color matched finished gelcoat. These products for motorcycles are carpeted inside and vinyl outside lined.

The value is there. I think it looks awesome and Im sure it will last longer than any outboard strapped behind it. I like the traction of carpet when stepping from the front deck to the center console. I bet this will work fine and its so shiny.
