Nautique Makeover

[Mike O]

Hey guys i have a 99 air nautique that has been a bit neglected but the engine is very strong and only has 250hrs on it so im going to spruce it up a lot this winter. I need a lot of advice tho here is what we are going to do.
New vinyl all around
Put on a tower (new dimensions)
Custom wrap or paint job
Accessories such as speakers and all that good stuff
What should i start with and any other advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Mike

When I did the makeover on my boat, which was similar to what your plans are, I found pulling all the seats and cushions out of the boat and getting them out of the way gives you so much more room for wiring for your stereo. I went through and completely re-did all of the pre existing wiring that was in my 02, you would not believe the pile of wire a yanked out of that thing! My advice is to pull all your interior, if you are planning on getting it re done, and then work on your system. Running wire and relocating subs, batteries, etc is much easier when you have the room to do it! If you have kids, or are not wanting to be "that guy" who is always getting telling peopl to be careful on the boat, DO NOT wrap above the rub rail. It's tough to take care of a wrap, so IF your paint and gel coat is just terrible, i would think about going that way and getting it re done, it will def last longer IMO. New Dimensions tower all the way. If the boat has been neglected, i would be sure to do an engine check and flush all the fluids. check your impeller, belts, typical maintaince stuff. Congrats!

Have you tried wet-sanding and polishing your boat to bring it back?

You can get all of the vinyl parts you need from http://www.nautiqueskins.com.

Can i also put a perfect pass system or something like it in there for wakeboarding?

Yes, look at my signature and you will see a link of my pp install in my 95'.

Look up my threads. I have a vinyl install thread on a 99 Air. DavidF is also a good source of info on a full vinyl install.

I installed this system last year. A little bit of a pita in the dashboard, but everything needed was included. The tech support was really good.
