When I purchased my 2011 X25, I didnt have a choice of trailer options as this was the last boat in stock at the time. This winter I plan on changing a few things. Here is what i want to change. Keep in mind, my trailer is a MasterCraft low profile (black).
1. Change out the painted fenders for polished stainless - any idea apporx how much?
2. LED lights have black inserts, can these be changed to chrome???
3. My last trailer (Boatmate) had runway LED lights, has anyone added the Boatmate kit to a mastercraft trailer? I found them extremely usefull loading at night.
A few years ago I did the same upgrades to my Boatmate, but Im wondering if its as easy and approx the same cost to do the same on a MC trailer. If memory serves, I think i paid about $500-600 for the 2 stainless fenders from Boatmate.

Here is my last boat/trailer with runway lights... The lights automatically come on when the trailer hits the water, and turns off once the trailer is out of the water. These are very bright and illuminate the water at dark making it easy to see the trailer outline from a distance when loading.

Is that a pimp hooking up the boat next to you?

ok.. enough of the pimp and pole dancer :D:D:D...
Anyone know where I can buy the chrome light gromlets and are they easy to change out from the black rubber?

You looking for the tail lights or side markers?

Looking to swap out all the lights that have black gromlets for chrome gromlets or frames, what ever they're called.

On my MC trailer, the grommets are black rubber. So, in order to get a chrome outline, you would have to replace the 'grommet' (push in) style lights with bolt-on, 'Flange' lights.
Here are the lights:
