Interior Pictures & Boat : SN

Very impressive restoration. Nothing like a "brand new" 23 year old boat. Serious head-turner.

NICE!!!!!!

Good job! Nice colors

"Looks like the stripes are raised? Did you do the interior yourself."

Alan,

     The stripes are raised a bit. I did not do the interior work, there is a lady near my home that does amazing work. She said she was cussing me while doing the engine cover but was happy with the finish. I couldn't be any happier with her work.

I have some Ski Nautique decals that are silver-gray in color that will be going on the boat. Then I am going to tint the window. The 351 engine goes in next and a little tuning and then it is ready for the lake. I am kinda a slow builder with college being in full force, but I should get a little time over spring break to make some progress!   

I do have a question if anyone knows about this. I am not really happy with the aluminum trim piece that goes around the inside of the boat. Is there a plastic like piece that anyone has used in place of this?

Thanks for the reply's guys, this website has been a big inspiration to my build.

That is my parents shop, it is 50x80 round top. We chose that style of building due to the Tornado's we have here in Oklahoma. A lot of work to assemble but they are solid buildings.

Andrew,

Do you plan on putting graphics on it? If so, what are your plans? That will be the finishing touch. I wouldn't go too wild. I recommend the '97 - '98 Ski Nautique lettering, almost the same as the 2006 lettering.

Hey Andrew...bring that thing to green lake! No shortage of H2O there...deepest in WI...I think there are 200+ feet deep areas!
BTW...nice work!

Andrew,
Green Lake is in South Central Wisconsin.. 1-2 hours from Milwaukee in the "Land of Sky Blue Waters"

Andrew:

Yes, there is a plastic version of the edge treatment that I think you are asking about. My '93SN uses black plastic. I am sorry that I cannot give you advice on where to find the trim other than a CC dealer. I would bet that they sell it in bulk.

Your boat looks great. IMHO, coaming pads would set the interior off. A nice pad that transitioned down into the side of the rear seat and the stripe pattern interupting the length would look awesome. You would also not have ot worry about the edge protection.

No, it is simple. All you have to do is remove the plasic piece in the bottom of the window-(this may be different for other CCrafts's) Then there will be screws holding the window in place. After all the screws are out then the two side windows pull out from the windshield. I would recommend having a buddy help you. I did it on my own, but another guy would come in handy.

Your boat pics are really nice !!!!

Mike

Love the job you did.

I'm a chesehead as well!
In the process of re-doing 67 ski nautique

the engine was replaced with a 440 chysler
and the cover is a hack job, I need to make a new one

where did you get the interior done?

did you build a new engine cover?
thanks for your help.

Based on his signature I would Guess it is an 83' Ski Nautique.

Andrews Signature: "83 Ski Nautique Under Construction".

Luchog,

Good point, after looking a bit closer at the pic's the bow scoop/vent on andrews also appears to be glassed over similar to the 70's era, the bow scoop/vent on a 2001 hull would be running up/down the bow, who knows, it will be interesting to hear what year it really is.

Luchog,

I think it might really be a 1983 Ski Tique. They had the old style bow vent, a step chine like the 2001s, but not the extra V.
