1992 Supra Comp, recent purchase

[dannyrds]

I bought a 92 Supra comp last year from the second owner. 700hrs, Proboss, tandem trailer. The boat was overall well maintained but being 26 years old it still needed a bunch of small things. Ive been picking away at it since January.

Looking good!

Looks great. I'm in the middle of debadging my 92 Mariah, and you sent some inspiration my way. Where did you get the replacement wood for the dash?

[dannyrds]

The dash is 1/8" pvc with a teak vinyl wrap. I made templates of the original pieces and cut them all out.

[JSPulliam21]

Did you replace your smaller gauges or refurb them? Mine are super oxidized and I'm not sure about how to go about trying to save them. It looks like you cracked the speedos open.

The smaller gauges are all new Faria euro. I did open the speedos. I was able to polish the lenses with some liqiid aluminum polish. It worked really well. It may restore the original gauges lenses but will take a lot of work. Wet sanding first would speed it up.

Where did you move your radio?

The radio is a complete unit, it’s not a remote on the dash. I ended up changing it out to a JBL one. The MB Quart was popping thru the speakers when I would power it down.

[JSPulliam21]

Oh, I see. That is the entire radio mounted in the dash. Huh. Is the JBL the same type?

Yes it’s the entire radio. Radio, Bluetooth, aux cable and flash drive. It came with an extension cable that has a USB and headphone jack port, I mounted it in the glovebox. Works really well and sounds good.

[JSPulliam21]

I took your suggestion on wet sanding my gauge faces and they turned out great. Thanks.

I’m glad it worked out, do you have any before and after pics?

[JSPulliam21]

I do. Hopefully these come out in the proper order.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180512/45668e2f04ebe8443d4a3ca5845daefa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180512/35e4b3cfa5d7c425abfa99a207ac3219.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180512/8304f28ed92b2bfe7c60098acd957e79.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180512/4ed6628fa9eed57bec423f52faadd127.jpg

Really nice work on the boat.......Is that a Seabee behind the boat in the pic? don's see many of those around any more, especially down here in the lower 48.

It definitely looks like one. What a rare bird indeed.

Very nice job on the dash, was always going to do that as had the same issue with gauges but just sold the boat. Bad part is swim platform damaged right before sale and wow do they want a lot to fix it. Anyone have one around they would be willing to sell. We had a 1992 Supra Mariah.18604

yes it is a Seabee, I keep the boat in a friends airplane hangar over the winter, where the Seabee owner is doing a restoration for himself.
