 Greetings from sunny South Africa. I just bought this boat as a project and I hope to restore it into something useable. This will be the second one I restored. The previous one however had an engine and was pretty complete parts wise. Be ready for many questions and seeking advice  ------------- A bad day skiing is better than a good day at work. |

Welcome with a new project. I had a friend with a black Nautique, he bought a 2001 when they first came out, 1982 I think it was and had it painted black. In my opinion it was way too hot for our summer ski outings but it was sure cool to look at. ------------- |

I'm also wondering about the black. Especially with the hot African sun. I'll see when it comes down to sanding and respraying if a colour change is viable. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the original color ------------- A bad day skiing is better than a good day at work. |

I have a navy blue deck boat and yes, the dark color is pretty hot !! ------------- Feels like I am hanging 10 but in reality - probably hanging 6. |

| Welcome international friend. A black hull only with light color top would be cool |

Well,right now the color isn't what keeps me awake at night. Sourcing an engine is the big headache  ------------- A bad day skiing is better than a good day at work. |
