Jeff's 1998 Ski Nautique Restoration

Taking out the carpet isn't too hard. The hard part is doing the prep work on the floor in order for the SeaDek to adhere properly. You have to sand off all of the carpet glue, level the floor, and spray gelcoat on the bare fiberglass.

. Can you roll out the gel coat instead?

I suppose that would work. I think I have seen some other boats where this was done on the floor.

PerfectPass just sent over a new Stargazer system for this boat! Looking forward to installing this!

Now I REALLY want my dash back!

wow!!!l lucky you......me too simply don't want ot fork out the all mighty $$$...

Stargazer works very well on my boat although it took some efforts to get there. The two things I found was to ensure that the crew weight was entered correctly and don't overshoot the speed. I'm sure you'll love it.

Jeff, the carbs need a specific jet and power valve. I believe the details are spelled out in the big engine manual. I know I had to change them on a new carb when I replaced the carb on my 98.

Any updates with the dash?

[NautiqueJeff]

I was hoping to be able to pick it up today while I was at Nautique, but there was an issue with one of the parts they made for it, so I will pick it up in a couple of weeks when I go back to Orlando to pick up the PN G23 from Roswell.

I did manage to get a new steering wheel for the Ski Nautique today at the factory though. I needed that badly!

I also think I found a trailer that I am going to buy to replace the purple one currently under the Ski Nautique. When I picked up the PN G23 trailer from Ram-Lin this morning, they offered me a good deal on a dual-axle Ski Nautique trailer that they just happened to have at their factory.

Just picked this up at Ram-Lin today!

Congrats! What did the factory do to your dash? Did you get it recovered? If so do you have any details on how it was done?
