Default 1998 Active Thunder 37 Triple Resto

Hey Guys. Thought I would post a few pics of the boat I bought for me and my brothers to redo. I made a post about it a couple weeks ago and was very thrilled to have a ton of positive help and advise from people here on the forum (Thanks). I am very much a newbie (auto knowledge and jet ski knowledge... very little boat knowledge) Extremely happy with the purchase, motors fired right up with good comp, cabin interior is much nicer then expected. Most things seems to work but cockpit interior needs to be done, a drive ram leaking, etc. Paint on sides is nice but clearcoat on top is peeling (owner said this happened from a certain washing product he used). a boat mechanic friend is going to go over all the mechanical and another business friend is going to look at the paint. At this point not sure whether we can redo clear, wrap boat or just paint the whole thing again. I do appreciate the 90's feel but im leaning towards something a little more updated. As at this point I have limited vision on the project so am open to advice or thoughts!!! Should be fun!
