Hydro Turf Install

[btgignac]

Best investment I have made(and may ever). Went verrry smooth. Cleaned every surface and then used rubbing alcohol to really get it dry/clean. One word. AWSOME. Enjoy the pics

Yep... Hydroturf is great stuff. I've probably spent $1k over the years, on the stuff.

Looks good! :thumbsup: sure brings that early 90's boat up to par on looks with some of the new ones. Im getting mine in a few days, any advice on removing the original stuff?

I have no tips for that since mine is a 94 and had no original, there is one small piece of hard plastic/vinyl/I have no clue on the engine hatch, I actually just stuck that piece of hydroturf right over the top. As for cleaning the boat, I used a non greasy cleaner, then bought a bottle of rubbing alcohol and for one last wipe before laying down the sheet. You are correct about the looks. I just bought this boat about a month ago and feel like I could sell it for a thousand more than what I bought it for just because of the turf haha.

Ohhhh okay, Ive seen a few posts about the stuff and figured I would ask, most people recommend goof off, a scraper, and heat, pretty typical of most old adhesive removals, and for sure, no doubt on the bigger resale, I redid my seats with normal yellow and a charcoal grey, and felt the same way, makes the boat look less aged and so many years newer. I even caught a guy with a seadoo ski eye-ing my boat while launching the other day, it felt good. I cant wait to see how good the yellow camo turf ties everything on my boat together.

Yellow camo should look pretty sweet. I actually wanted to go with the lime green for mine but the display picture on the website has it with the purple and it looked great so I had to play it safe!

I'd say it looks like you made a good choice, boat looks really clean too. Wish I had that nice flat motor hatch like yours, or my ski locker was that big! I cant figure out where to put my new kneeboard and wakeboard hahaha
