[Jim and Jackie]

What is the material used for the counter tops on our 2010 R 29?

Jim:

If your counter tops are like what we had on our 2012 R27 then they are gelcoat. On the R27 the top looked similar to a speckled corian counter but it was gelcoat.

I second what Jim said. Up until the reply I just got from Ralph from the factory I thought it was and was told by the dealer and have read elsewhere that it was marble.. I want to buff it back to new... Now I will attack it differently.

Hello,

This is made of Karadon. This was only on the original versions. We still use it in some of the newer boats inside the head but different colors.

Thank you,

Andrew,

Thanks. Is there any special instructions on the care and feeding of "Karadon".

The care and maintenance is a lot like fiberglass. You can sand and polish it with the only difference is it is solid so you don't worry about going through too many layers.
