Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to this forum and I've got some questions about getting some parts. I have a 1991 Ski Nautique that is in ok condition but I plan on fixing it up this winter. I'm looking for some info on who would have a glove box lid, maybe some new hull decals, and some input on a new interior. The interior is the major concern. There are some local people that I can take it to but I would like some more input on the interior. Has anyone had this boat or one similar re-upholstered? If so, what should I be looking at in price range? Thanks to all!!

There are 2 members here who are looking into producing some glove box lids for the late 80's/early 90's boats (Morfoot and Behindpropellor). Nothing definite yet- stay tuned.

I got a set for my '90 from White Lake Marine last year. You should be able to get the 91-93 decals from a dealer as well. Check with White Lake, MWCC or SWCC first.

If you want to stay original (including CC embroidery) then you have 2 options: MWCC and Christines (see upper left of the forum). I had mine done by Christines and was pretty happy with her work. Youre looking at ~$2500 for all the skins, plus another $1k for a shop to replace foam as necessary and install the vinyl. I rebuilt all my seat bases myself, so that may be something to consider.

A local shop would be able to make you something (for much less $$$), but they dont have the advantage of having the patterns already on hand- they would use your old skins to make the new ones. No guarantees on the quality of the vinyl or stitching either, and forget about any embroidery.

What is with these glove box lids??? Did CC go and find the cheapest thing they could get? I just used the search feature and there must be 20 threads on it!! I'm assuming the original was injection molded out of a breakable plastic and not something like a polycarbonate.

Thanks for the input TRBenj. I have to check those out.

As far as the glove box lid, yes it was a molded plastic lid. But, in CC's defense, mine did last for 14 years.

Kris, I'm sorry that i neglected to welcome you to the site. Welcome and I hope you find it useful. Plenty of help and lots of knowledge available.

I'm glad you got 14 years out of the lid!! I think there are others here that haven't. By the way, I got 30 years out of one boat, 43 on another and finally 53 on the oldest. This of coarse was with some work along the way!!

I think injection moulding is a little advanced for CC at the time. They look like heat moulded perspex to me. Cheep to make and easy to break.
