Keep It Original or....?
 

Dress it up?

I have an '89 Checkmate in almost showroom condition.
My wife sees all these wild paint schemes on these other hi-performance boats and asks, "When are you gonna have something like that?"
Well honestly, I love the fact the boat is so clean for it's age, and in itself, it stands out on it's own without the flashy colors.

What would you do? :confused: :confused:

Vinyl Sharkey ! That way She is happy and you can restore the thing in a afternoon.

Hey Tim,

Looks great just the way it is!

Keep it the way it is. Wild goes out of style. I am betting you get a lot of compliments as it is. If the paint fades out so bad that you can not keep a shine then do the paint job.

I like the clean lines....but Steve has a great idea!!!!;)

those things always were one of my favorites. you dont see many of those 28's , especially with outboards. i would leave it the way it is unless it needed to be painted. post some more pics. :cool: :cool: :cool:

Leave it alone.

LEAVE IT ALONE!
