Graphics for 89 Ski Nautique 2001

Hello all

I am having the graphics on my 2001 nautique reproduced. If you are interested in getting these graphics made for your boat also let me know and I will try to get you a set also. The company I am using has reproduced the graphic style and they tell me that they could stretch or enlarge the graphics slightly if need to hep to cover the ghosting of the old letters. The letters I am having made are a solid color with the white drop shadow like in the original graphics. I did not really like the clear graphics with the fade. I am not trying to make a 100% perfect copy of the original graphics,( the clear with the fade ) I wanted a little color on my boat. If you would like to change your graphics too, but would like a different color just contact me at my email address dbagwell825@hotmail.com and we will see if I can get you what you want. I estimate that the cost for the " ski nautique 2001 " on both sides and the " competition ski nautique " on the back will cost $250.00 in the colors of your choice.

If you have any questions please let me know!

George,
Our 88 decals are different than the 89's. We have the big "2001". They have the little "2001".
There are lots of threads on this site about wet sanding and polishing the gel coat to remove the ghosting. What's the color scheme on your 88?
Nice to have other CA CCFans on here. Post your pics.

Thanks for clearing it up for me Kurt. I will check those threads on wet sanding.   From the looks of your boat I believe I have the same color scheme. Light grey with blue stripes. I was curious... does yours have wrap around seats in the rear like the 89's. Mine does. I noticed that most 88 do not. Was it an option? I thought I had an 89 for a while.

Yea, I think it was an option, but there are people on this forum that can tell you which option came on what year. Mine need to be rebuilt when I re-do my upholstery.

Hunterdan,
What did you use to take the decals off? How bad is the ghosting? Keep us posted on how it goes. I plan on tackling that one this winter and may need your advice. Good luck and thanks for the info.

BuffaloBFN,

Thanks for the reference to the brochures. I did not know they were on here and yes the wrap around rear stern seat with storage was an option as is many other things I didn't know about. Very interesting!

George

Dan,
Have you tried going to the diaries section and looking up people who have 89's and emailing them?

George

Hello to all of you! this is the first time I have tried to upload a picture, so we will see if it works. If all went well you will see the 4 pictures of the new graphics installed. Please let me know what you think!

Dan

these letters are the same size, and put in the exact same location as the old letters, if we tried to line them up the with the spacing correct, then you could see the ghosting from the old letters. As for the alignment being off, that was CC's problem.

Dan they look great. I think the solid colour looks better than the faded over clear the original 89 decals used.

Did you put Correct Craft back on the sides also.

More pictures of whole side please.

As Hollywood said if you press enter after each uploaded picture it stacks them vertically and narrows the view of the whole thread so no horizontal scrolling is required to view.
Dont worry I made the same mistake with my first picture upload and I work on computers all day for a living.

I will be doing my 89 decals in a couple of weeks. Did your signwriter end up manipulating the 87-88 graphics file or use the pictures as the basis for the new decals.

You must have a nice dry floor your platform isn't at or below the water level, good for you.

Ok, now how about some pictures of that crazy blue vinyl?

I like the graphics. They really stand out. BKH
