Well, finally got my boat home, and pulled all the old decals off the sides, and started in on the wetsanding, polishing process. Here's a few pics. I'd say this old, weathered '93 is cleaning up damn nice!
This one is a BEFORE Pic: ![]() Couple AFTER pics, but before any wax yet: ![]() ![]() |

Not to diminish what you've done so far, which looks fantastic, but those aren't the same area...

it's the same "general" area...if you see the first photo with the decals still on, you'll see the old Nautique guide on post on the trailer. the two photos that have decals removed and have been sanded you'll see the pvc pipe of the very same guide on. All 3 photos are taken of the rear port side of the boat. All within 2 feet of each other give or take. :)

Sure..I didn't have a good FULL shot of Port side, but it was beat to hell from Dock rash. This starboard side, looks OK in these photos, but you can still see, pretty dull and faded.

yeah...NO Mop n Glow here! just alot of sweat and elbow grease. Now I know some won't like the wax I use..but I've used it on ALL of my sports cars I've ever owned and have been very happy with it..and that is Meguiars Carnuba wax.
And YES...all of my kids like this boat, after having them ALL learn to ski behind my little old 3.0 omc cobra (4 cyl) I/O this has been a big step up for them. |

Yes, my 13 yr old (pictured with the boat) actually did ALL of the interior vinyl. It had alot of staining, and some mold on it..he went through and sprayed all the seats, combing pads, etc with LA's Totally Awesome, and then took a nylon bristle brush and scrubbed them all clean, then went over ALL of that with 303 protectant. Then he cleaned the windshield, dash, etc. He's proud of the boat.

What's up H-Man? you've been starting to sound a lot like Pete used to sound lately. And he's been mellowing. In the great space time continuum are we seeing the parallel impacts of the law of conservation of crankiness and the combined impacts of retirement and post wedding nookie? |

some NWZ expert should chime in on that pin tape, looks totally odd to me. Certainly the skinny piece should be on the bottom but i've also seen just solid 1/2" separating the colors

I Know nothing about the Pin tape...I thought the double stripe above and single below looked pretty good. Not sure what I'll go with just yet when I go to put them back on. Any thoughts??

seems like 90-91 go the double tape (1/2" on top separating the colors, 1/8" in the white) and then transitioned through 92 towards the single 1/2". I've definitely never the double tape inverted like flyweed's boat

Very nice Dan! Love those colors!
Are you going original graphics, no graphics or doing what this guy did and go with the "08" for a bit of updated look? ![]() |

I am going ALL original graphics on her. just trying to decide what to go with for those replacement pinstripes, we are currently talking about. Otherwise, I have all the original decals in my garage, waiting application.
