2012 Ski Nautique 200 Winter Project

Love the blue sub for the yellow! Maybe an Imron paint over the yellow on the hull? Doh, just looked at the hull again, that's a LOT of yellow!
Keep up the good work!

I hope they teach better than they maintain their boats . That boat is in shameful condition.

We did a deep clean of the bilge and floor today. We hope to have the rebuilt engine back from the rebuild shop next week. More pics to come!

I'm disappointed. I was looking forward to seeing you keep a little of the old theme with snake skin upholstery.

Agreed, how does one neglect such a new boat that badly. Nice to see you're restoring it to its former glory.

Here are a couple mockups from Vehicle Wraps here in Rancho Cordova, Ca. I used these guys to wrap my truck. They do nice work! I've asked them to help me with a wrap that would hide the yellow stripe on the boat. If you recall, the new interior does not have any yellow striping. The new interior colors are Master's Blue, Titanium and Silver Cloud. Please give me your feedback on these designs. Also, the Nautique graphic will not be apart of the wrap. These are examples with the graphic being applied after the wrap is installed. PS - the shaded logo in the wrap is the Superior Boat logo!

I like the second picture. Are you having that Nautique logo done in Chromax, or will it be standard vinyl? Just wondering. Looks cool!

Have you seen this 200 that they put retro graphics on? Not sure if that woul be appropriate here or not, but it is a thought since you're changing things up.

Jeff, thanks for sharing the retro graphic photo of the red / black boat. This looks nice, I'm planning to use the Chromax graphic.

The port and starboard side carpet were installed today. We have received the engine back from the rebuild shop and have started putting it back together along with repainting it. My next pictures will be of the engine prior to it being installed back in the boat. Once this is done and the engine is tested the floor carpet will be installed.

Here is another mock up for the boat. This is a retro design from a 1980 SN. I started my career in the boating industry with Nautique in 1980. I thought it would be cool to wrap the boat the way the Ski Nautique hull graphic was done from that year. What do you think of this design?

That looks great. Nice to see the words " correct craft " on the side

[swankster]

I like the last mockup with CC on the side. This is going to be one sweet boat when you get done. Thanks for sharing the build.

My thoughts too! I couldn't believe the title when I ready it...no way a 2012 need to be a 'winter project!' I am glad you bought it and a giving it new life, I love my baby which is a 2010!

I really like this scheme! Looks classic and updated at the same time.

Are you planning to paint or wrap over the yellow?
