I figure at some point, I will indeed look into the OEM replacement stickers. I will ask about the stock '97 decals to have my boat redone in the correct wrap as it was back in '97, but if that isn't available today, I'll ask to have some of today's, current decals for my size of boat in the same color scheme, or as close to it as possible.

Heck...after that is done, it'll look like a new boat. Much cheaper to freshen up the current boat that way than to go out and buy a new boat. I'm very much happy with my boat. It fits me and my needs of today. So I'm all for just freshening it up. Maybe once the current, scuffed up decals are removed, have someone hit the hull with a fresh coat of correct color matching paint to freshen that up too, then re-apply new decals. As of right now, the interior is hanging in there and is okay. I'm sure at some point, the flooring will need to be rebuilt. Which...I'll cross that bridge when the time comes. For now though..it's hanging in there too. Carpeting shows some sign of age...but..not wearing through. Just obvious signs of high traffic areas.

For this being a pre-owned boat, I can't complain. The original owner was hard on this boat's though. It's amazing as to how some people take care of their equipment...or..the lack there of. :shrug: That's okay though...because now if I was to accidentally put a scratch on the boat...I'm not too overly concerned being there were hundreds there before mine. Now if I was to have this boat redone, then I'd be a bit more concerned as I'll try and keep it in as nice of shape as humanly possible. I care about my stuff and I like my stuff to look good. It's a pride thing. :shrug:

I think it's worth looking into having a local Crestliner dealer to give you an estimate to do the job from start to finish and just see what the price comes in at. IF you do go this route, if you wouldn't mind, since I have not yet looked into this yet myself, could you post your dealers estimate here just to give me some sort of ballpark idea? It'd be much appreciated.

Since there is no new boat anywhere in my near distant future, this is Option #1 for me to help give me that "new boat" look and feel...and I'd be happy with it.
