Hey everyone,
Had a family tragedy which put the project on low priority for quite some time . It's all back together (photos to come soon), but I wondered if anyone knows of a reputable painter in...

The gelcoat is generally the thickness of a credit card. I first used a de-oxidizing agent (3M sharpshooter no rinse cleaner), then straight to dry sanding with 3M 1200 grit using a pneumatic dual...

The only concern is that he would need the boat for the measurements.
I also don't want to...

My problem was the physical toll it was taking on me. My hands were shot and worst of all, it seemed that no one really cared. But take Wotan's advice...look at one thing at a time concentrate on...

This a copy of my reply to a similar thread. Hope this helps:

Although I don't have a Comp, but a SunSport, I'm sure they're similar. The first blower (engine compartment) is usually on the right side somewhere near the front motor mount. On the intake side...

You can save yourself a ton of headaches and take the boat to a reputable uphostery shop. My guy in PA was terrific. He built a new whole new rear seat frame, and only charged me less than $300....

I never thought of using a lag screw (if that's what you mean) to pull it back. The rub rail will cover everything anyway. Brilliant man..never occurred to me. Thanks!

Not trying at all to discourage you at all from this project, as I did the same thing. But since you said you have no idea where to start, I sense you're a novice. That's fine, but just be sure to...

Your best bet by far is to buy the cheapest decal you can find (bought mine for $10.00 on ebay.) Take it to a reputable graphics shop. They'll then photograph in hi-def and transform it into a...

Call your dealer. If no luck, call Skier's choice.

Taylormade was the OEM for mine, but they'd probably make you go through a dealer anyway.

316 Stainless steel is always your best bet. Manganese bronze (yellow bronze) or brass are also commonly used. As far as them coming out then other end, that's good old fashion measuring.

Stupid alert:

Began riviting the hull/deck back and although I knew it would be a lot of hours and tweaking it went back actually ok...until...

During my time having the hull seperated, I...

Same here,
Can't believe how many times I said "Why in the world did I do that??"

Jet,
In short, 87 Sunsport. 656hrs. Lots of rot and pretty much a solo project.

Seperated the hull/deck, fixed the bad wood. Installed new carpet and had all the upholstery re-done. Bought a new...

Ok, It's starting to make sense now. Thanks for the pic!

Thanks guys for your input, but I must admit I can't visualize what your talking about. I think my best bet is to buy a whole new assembly. Remember the BOAT acronym..I really do appreciate your...

New Dash with new lighting and gauges:...

Best way I can put it is if you look at the first page of my original thread, you'll see that the vertical rudder post bent outwards. I had it bent back, but it's still not perfect. I'm having a...

If I put a bead on the post itself, won't that impede its motion as it cures?

I'm about to re-install my fixed rudder and I was wonderin: What keeps water from migrating up through the space between the post and housing? Is there a seal I need to worry about? Also, My...

Looking back on it, that's a great idea. Ended up spending more than I wanted and I still have the chance of rot.

Can't say I did. The place is I had it done is pretty cool. They are nothing but upholstery. It's better than when we bought it. It's the top of line vinyl by Morbern, called ambassador. Took nearly...

Computer died...finally I got my new one.

You guys were right. I ended up buying a new strut from SkiDim and am having the shaft checked. I may go to a 13x14 prop for a little better top end...

Thanks,
I'll let you know what happens
