Hi again friends,
The restore is coming along nicely. Now I am wondering how others went about re-painting. I have been to the reference section here and found the links for the lettering and the stern design, but there is nothing present to help wtih the side striping. Did everyone else just tape it off? I'm also doing wetsanding, so the original paint will be lost. Did others just do a tracing to figure all that out, or make measurements to work from? Finally, with the patterns from the site, where would i take them to create a stencil from them? Thanks!! Brian |

Brian, The best way to handle the strips is to trace them now before you wet sand. Yes, they can be taped. (3M fine line tape)The lettering stencil can be made by a sign shop. The most popular system is a Gerbermask. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| What sort of method would you recommend for tracing? Tracing paper (transparent) or somehow doing a rubbing with some other kind of paper and a crayon or charcoal? |

Tracing paper and pencil. After wet sanding, you can then tape it up on to the hull to use as sort of a template for the fine line tape. You also may be able to see the shadow of the strips and lettering. The tracing is just in case! If you take the tracing of the letters to a sign shop, they will scan it into the computer and clean up any rough edges. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| Does anyone have an idea of what it should cost to get the about repaited. Just the lettering and a black stripe? Also, is gel coat the only way to go? What about an epoxy? I have been told the Epoxy is cheaper and lasts longer. |

Jay, A epoxy will not hold the gloss like a linear polyurethane. I don't recommend it. Did a professional tell you about the epoxy? Are you sure he isn't talking about a 2 part poly? If you must paint then the poly is the way to go. Last longer than gel? Absolutely not. It is still paint. Cheaper, yes! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Brainard,
Thanks, I was thinking it didn't sound right. problem is ,like in life no one cares like they should.Thanks for the insight. Does anyone know what a good price is to pay for such a job?? I just realy want to respect the boat that I have if you know what I mean. |

Jay, I need to take a step backwards here! I somehow missed that you were only asking about the graphics and I'm rambling on about the whole boat!! I don't see the year of your boat but if it was paint from the factory then they used Rust-Oleum. It's still a tough option, but you can use the poly's as well. The nice thing about the Rust-Oleum is they still have the same colors. Stay away from the epoxy's as that group of paint was developed for chemical resistance and not decorative qualities. Cost's can be all over depending on things like what part of the country you are in and if you have a Gerber mask made or he has to mask by hand. I'll say on average you are looking at about $1500 ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| Brainard- you the man, thanks a bunch. I have a 81 by the way and I love it. had to rebuild the engine due to operator error two years ago. But when I had the boat bottom job done I took the original paint off which after finding this site foudn otu that I could have just wet sanded it and the shine would have come back. Also, learned I could have bought new original skins on here as well. Now I am doigin a damn thing until I ask on here first. Lesson learned ,vry exspensive lesson but I guess that is how it goes. Thanks again. |

| I re-painted an 82 MODEL that I had. I used Omni AU paint from a local auto paint store. They supplied me with 2 primers, one to first adhere correctly to the gelcaot and the next for the paint to adhere correctly. It cost just under 300 for all the materials and I had a local sign shop do the decals for $80. Some misc. expense on tape etc. Whole thing was under 500 dollars to do and if I had to do it again tomorrow Id go the same way. I sold the boat about 3 years after I painted it and it still looked as good as it did the day I did it... |

Perhaps a one of a kind? Maybe I should have kept it or sold it for more than I did.....
Seriously though, before I purchased it a corrected the guy on the phone about the add in Boattrader that it was 82 or newer. He assured me it was an 81 and sent me a pic of the hull number. So I stood corrected. I guess 73 or 74??? to 81 doesnt quite do it prior the 2001 hull. 81-1/2 maybe? to 87??? |

At some point, the Hull ID convention changed. On modern boats, the last 2 digits are the model year. What you were probably looking at was the year of manufacture. Its common for a boat to be built in the previous calendar year (my '90 was built in 10/89), as production starts in July, I believe. I guarantee that your boat was a 1982 model year. ------------- |

here's two items that scream 2001 hull, notice the relief cut in the side of the hull at the rear above the chime, also the bow treatment and then get your tape measure out and compare them to the 2001 hull and they will match exactly. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

| thats fine and I agree. However the engraved number on the top right of the transom ended in 81. There fore, according to everyting Ive been taught, the boat, as I know because I owned it, was registered as an 81. That all Im saying. If you want to say that the number on the back doesnt verify the year, well then Ive got an 08 Super sport i will sell you however its stamped 97 on the back... |

| 79nautique, or anyone on this forum, Ive not once stated that the hull I had looked like a pre 82 boat. Im just stating what it was registered as. That is all. Im not retarded, I know it is the same hull and deck as the 82 to 87 and obviously that means it will measure out the same. But my FL registration said 81, so I always considered her an 81. Why dont we all not worry about it, say "hey nicely done" and move on witht he topic on hand here????? |
Posted By: TRBenj
Date Posted: February-18-2008 at 5:38pm
You were taught right... sort of. Read my post above. The Hull ID number convention was changed in 1984 according to http://www.boatfax.com/international-hin-formats.html - this article. The 81 youre referring to would have been the certification date of the 2001 hull. The hull ran from 1982-1989, so it would have been certified in '81. Its likely that all 82-83 2001's have HIN's ending in "81". Your registration was simply wrong (which is not uncommon). Youre correct in that from 1984 on, the last 2 digits indicate the model year. ------------- |

| I got ya. Interesting. Well I will always consider it that I owned the first 2001 series hull that was registered as an 81.. LOL So I had a "Unique Tique" I guess. Registered and tracked as an 81. Cool. |

well and now lets not forget that just because it was manufactured in 81 doesn't mean that is was sold as a 81 or in 81 for that matter.
Think about this compare it to cars my truck was built in sept of 2003 but it's a 2004 so does that mean it should be registered as a 2003 no and if I would have bought it in 2005 does it mean that it should be regestered as a 2005 no. And it's common knowledge if you want to start selling a new model for the next year you have to build them before that years starts right? otherwise you have none or very little stock to sell. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

First off Im 32 years old... far from a kid. And secondly, I didnt make the registration papers on the boat, I wasnt in the cc facility when they sent the papers out with that boat and I did not work for the Fl goverment when they decided to register the boat and do it as an 81. I cannot change that. Maybe your old and wise and have the god gift to do so, but I dont.. Its a model 82, registered as an 81. Does that make you happy.
All I was stating was it was registered as an 81 by the state of FL. So jump on them Im done withthis bs site if thats how you "ccfans are. F OFF!!!!.... |

and it's our fault that you believe just because it's regestered this way that's what year it actually is please, Sorry about ya.
Just because the BMV was given wrong info years ago still will never make that boat a '81 SKI Nautique, Hell I'll have to take a look at the tail movement's HIN and see if it's actuall a '81 like the graphics, and hull appear to be f**k I might have cut up an aniversery edition or an '80 instead of a '81 damn it I knew I should have looked at the title closer. So the lession you've hopefully learned today is what it is regestered as doesn't mean sh*t. And more importantly don't try and tells us it this way or that way or lie to us. When WE ALL READY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS FROM A PICTURE. WE KNOW THESE BOAT's INSIDE AND OUT end of story. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

79nautique, settle yourself. I know that they release cars, trucks, boats motorcycles as 07s in 06. But arent they usually registered as an 07, even when built in 06? im not arguing one bit that the boat I had wasnt a series 2001 model AND Im not arguing the fact that it was built in 81 82 or 63.. and I dont care. All I was trying to say was that it was perhaps a slip up somewhere and registered by the state of FL as an 81. Why is that so hard for you to deal with? NO, IM NOT SAYING IT IS THE SAME HULL AS THE PRE 2001 HULL!!!!!!! I was simply trying to say that the year of the boat according to FL is an 81.. HOWEVER it is a series 2001, which was year 82. Sorry I argued the point of the year registration rather than the model/year that began it. My fault. Sorry and Wont happen again.
And PS, get your facts straight as to who your talking to before you start ripping on someone. We all know what ASSUMING is... accept its the U part you should be worried about.. not me. |

I guess some people.. can just never say "hmm interesting but you know its a 2001 model." And Id say yup and move on. But no matter what IM wrong and your right, arent you 79nautique?

at times people applier different tatics(sp) to get information out of people with actually asking a direct question. And you where being pretty strong saying it's regestered this way so it must be, wrong when it comes to boats, trailers older motorcycles, water toys about the only thing consistant are cars as the VIN system as been in place for years 30-40 yrs before they ever required it on boats.

Oh and check out the Sept page in the PN calender that's SKI LIME and my boat at Green lake WI.

Well thanks for that guys ( I think) I just got back from a guy at a car place saying he can use car paint? Would you have to regel coat over the paint? What about when the gas spills out of the stern, wouldn't it eat up the paint? it sure did on the graphics I had put on. Damn that is an embarrasing mistake. I am a freakin idiot but I am willing to pay the piper to fix the issue. Thoughts?
Is there a measurment for the size of the strip and the lettering? seems like it will be hard to have the true strip dimensions seeing that it fades up the bow. |

well if you actually have a '81 then Allen has the files and I believe they are posted in the reference section too, but you can use those to create the stencil to mask off and repaint. Your best bet is to use that stencil or create your own then sand off the old graphics and wet sand the complete boat to make the gel-kot shine again then mask and paint the graphics, using auto paint is fine just use the right primers so the paint will stick to the gel-kote. Gas won't hurt the paint. maybe allen and Mark or some of the others can chime in on what brands they actually used or their projects. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

79nautique, you should change you name to something that reflects "oh god and ruler, best of the best, everyone else sucks, but me and my nautique, I am the only thing that matters, because my boat made a mag and the other million boats out there didnt" I mean c'mon.. 79nautique doesnt cut it for yo man.. you are better than that!!!! Have some pride.
And I dont give a rats a$$ who posts what. If someone took the time to build something on thier own and wants to post it, let them be. Dont whine cause you may not have the talent to do so. This is a correct craft forum, and if someone wants to show that they made, did, or fixed anything at all on their boat, then by gosh, thats what these forums are about. Not everyone is on here to hang out with you and your "calender boat" woohoo for you. Did you build it, gel it, do the upholstery, mount the windshield... mybe not you, maybe Mark? or someone else... lets praise them for having THIER boat in a calender... not you because you forked out the cash to get it... anyone can do that, Mr. 79nautique. |

Jay, Paint and gel are two completely different systems. Re gelling is usually the complete hull or deck when the original can't be brought back to life with wet sanding and buffing. It is however a expensive process because it is labor intensive. Paint can be used for graphics and was used by CC until 81? (help me here on the year Tim or Chris) Paint is also a less expensive alternate to re gelling the complete boat. I must warn you that paint is exactly that and needs to be treated as such - very carefully! If paint is used, I highly recommend one of the linear polyurethanes designed for marine use such as Algrip. Do not use a automotive paint as they are not recommended to be in the water for more than a couple days. I feel Scott's (tiqueman) choice to go with the bottom line PPG Omni AU is a poor decision. Give us more info on the boats condition or better yet post some pictures. What exactly are you trying to do to the boat? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

well sorry for the rest to hear it again but since he's a newbie. Lets see, it will be shorter listing what I didn't do, so No I did not gel-kote the boat or lay up the hull or replace the stringers, or rub rail. Didn't build the windshield but I did replace the gasket's in the frame rails and did have it in the living room while I worked on in the winter. I also replaced the vent hardware with NOS from CC. SO that would leave restoring the bow cover. replacing all of the skins, foam and wood in all of the seats. I did replace the carpet, fixed a soft spot in the floor before hand. rebuilt the motor completely, bought a blanced long block but installed the motor and everything that goes on it. My buddy did the tranny that I pulled and re-installed, didn't know about Eric at the time. Spec'd and replaced the entire ignition system, would have been nice to use the system I designed the the Chevy Ilmore engines that won Indy in the ninty's but then it wouldn't have look orginal then so oh well. So what else replaced all of the sending unit's, hoses, vents, upgraded the electrical system, rebuilt the carb, painted the side graphics and bought vynil for the transom with help from Kieth, website owner, oh then there was the strut bushings, prop, prop shaft, replaced the stuffing box with a dripless version and some other stuff. But basicly I bought the skins and a long block as my block wasn't rebuildable to start with, so I opted to get a performance long block that came with a 18 month warrenty to install. Just basic stuff that many of my friends here have done as well. Basic restoration work that you do your self and DON'T PAY SOMEONE ELSE TO DO THE WORK FOR YOU. That way you can Say Yea... I've pretty much built that boat. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

brainard-hey I would post some pics but the graphics are to bad and after all this extra curricular activity on here I'll wait..haha.
I had the whole boat wet sanded and re gel coated...most likely shouldn't have that is why I am trying to make sure I do screw this up. Something about a classic. )Side note is how can I tell I have a 81, my old graphics sure look like that guy getting bashed for think ing he has a 81 when it might be a 82'?) I have a 81 CJ-8 that when hook dup to my 81' nautique looks pretty freaking cool. I am willing to do what it takes but don't want to screw the pooch and waste another 2g or so. So I keep my boat our of the water except for when it is at Mom in P-cola for three days at a time so car pain should be fine/ I can tell them to use what ever and wait to find the right guy so if it were you guys what would you use? where is the guys thread on demensions and is the attachment he right stuff? Sure wish I new about his about 4 yrs ago!!!$%$^%$& PS 79 your are very opinionated but it leads me to believe you know a thing or two. Much love and thanks from all of us that don't!! The green kinda sucks though...haha.(I am using the pics to show the painter here.) |

Jay, I think I have the picture now! You have had the complete boat re gel coated. Polyester gel coat and not paint correct? Now you want to have the graphics painted on the hull sides and you don't have a tracing of the original. Well, the best way to have a paint mask made (Gerber mask) is with a full size tracing. Do you know anyone with a 81 that is willing to let you trace? A digital photo won't do it because it will not pick up the curvature of the hull. Here's a picture of what I suspect was done off a picture. It is a 70's hull just to show what happens when graphics are developed from a photo. See how the lettering and the stripe are skewed upwards and aren't parallel to the chine. It looks like a nice job but the graphics just didn't turn out correct.
Here's the way it should look. 
Jay, It looks like Brian in the thread is trying to do the same. Maybe you guys can get together. A tracing that can be used to make a Gerber mask and split the sign guys cost. http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9671&PN=1&TPN=1 - Brian's 81 ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete,
Original what, one good example and one bad example, that top one has the style but poor execution on the stripe not even close. If it is actually a 81 then the files should be in the ref section. I thought Kieth uploaded Allens files and posted them or did they get lost when he change the formate of the ref section? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

Pete one of the years the Correct Craft is just like SN hull color, which is the way the '81 hull is in the barn. I believe 80 is when they used the emblem like what you have shown. remember it's not uncommon for CC to use old photo's, it think the only difference between the 80 & 81 is the CC on the side and then the transom's are different as well. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

| I have an '80 Nautique that is in need of all the cosmetic things that a 27 year old boat requires. Mechanicaly and upholstery wise it is clean but I need carpet and graphics. What is this Gerbermask? I would prefer to paint rather than "stick". Maybe there is a reason that drives one option over the other. Help! |

Rick, Welcome to the site. Glad you found us. I'm glad to hear that you are planning to restore the graphics with paint. The Gerber mask is the brand of masking system that most sign shops use. It is designed for paint masking and is cut on the same equipment as vinyl signs. Don't forget to post some pictures of your project. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
