Just bought a new 1987 Ski Nautique 2001 and want it to be unique! I like the Mapple Icon edition cover because you can see through it! Is there anyplace that can make a see through cover or somewhere i can buy one ? Thanks!

I think you'd have to make something like that yourself, although it would be cool. Make sure you hold on to your old one, just in case!

Before you spend time and money making it unique... how are the stringers?
Congrats on the new boat... you will love it.

Chaz,
I agree that before you try to go for the "bling", do check out the hull. I'd also like to know about the stringers.

Yes, some may not appreciate the non original dog house.

BTW, "plexi" (acrylic) is not a preferred material. It's brittle and will crack at any stress point. OSHA doesn't even allow it for guarding. Polycarbonate is the way to go.

Yeah, but that engine had better be polished and spotless....
Thinking of Ferraris here.
