Thanks, well...... I just bought the boat last spring and I am pretty handy. I came across a product called "knifeless tape" for laying vinyl and decided to try it. my interior is primarily dark teal, so I decided to keep that color and add the gray and black.

Lots of research, playing with colors on corel draw and some practice cutting the vinyl. Also bothered the crap out of Offshoreexcursion who was my critic!

So I covered the existing graphics, extended them down past the stripe flip flopping colors as they crossed the stripe and added some above the rubrail.
Oh, as for the SST, no, I was not planning on adding it back on.

Not sure about the weight, I have owned it for 16 years and took the power, Stelling boxes and drives off about 1 1/2 years ago. I sold the boxes, steering, drives and exhaust. I tried selling the hull and trailer a few weeks ago and got nothing but BS on the swap shop so I brought the boat back to the shop and uncovered it, thats when I decided that I would re-power and keep it. We already cleaned up the trailer with all new brakes, bearings and bunks. The same 509 engines are going back in but they are getting EFI fuel systems (came in yesterday) with a 70HP bump and the CMI Sport tubes are being replaced with the cast KE exhaust. This week we are going to flip the boat to blueprint bottom and add some rocker for the addition of Arneson drives. Boat ran a high of 89.9 (twice) but never hit the 90 mark, hoping for more when completed.
