My heart is whole again... NEW BOAT!

[tgoody14]

Took many MANY hours of searching and tons of patience, but I finally replaced my Blue on White 04 Outback with this New to Me Blue on White 08 LSV!!!! Now let the mods begin....

Thanks to you guys that helped me get some of my upgrading orders in before the boat got here, which came a week early! I'm PUMPED!!

I really the blue on white. I'm envious. Congrats and happy modding!

[tgoody14]

Big time thanks for all the compliments guys!!!

Sooo one of the Mods is taking the decals off, BUT I'm worried about fading.. I've spend the last 3 hours reading up on it and I understand the process and what all it entails... My question to you guys is, this 08 has been on a lift year round since new so how bad do you think it's faded!? It was well taken care of and the gel coat still has great shine and I think the nekked blue would look GREAT!!
So anybody do this on a 5+ yr old boat that was exposed year round (in Texas)

May just take off the "LSV" first and see what it looks like before tackling the "Mobius"...

Thanks
Taylor

[tgoody14]

Mobius is gone.... Can barely tell
I'm beginning to think maybe the stickers were put on this boat recently, cuz there's no fade or shadow! THANK GOD..... Phewwwww 😅

Congrats man! Mine just sold and I am in the exact same position you were in - LOOKING!!!!
My wife is starting to get annoyed at me I think because I spend more time with my fingers on my keyboard than on hers!!!!! :) LOL

At any rate it is going to be tougher than I thought to replace my boat? Oh well part of teh fun is doing the research and finding the new one!

Have a blast this summer man!!!

[tgoody14]

J looks like I wasn't so fortunate on the other side of the boat! Took me about 4 hrs between 2 days to get that Mobius decal off! That side of the boat it noticeably faded. I tried a small buffer attachment for me cordless drill with some compound... It's not going to do the trick and I have no more spare time to try it on my own. Guess I'm going to drop it off at the detail shop in the morning and let them try with their high powered toys!! 😥

Iwaterskihard yea man the process is long and hard. Especially if you're in Texas because everybody here is in full summer boat search mode. It was really frustrating finding boats online and contacting the owner only to find out it had sold and he hadnt removed the Ad!!!! Good luck man, I'm so happy to be done with it and am absolutely stoked I found my Blue on White LSV.

sounds weird that one side was easy to remove and blemish free and the other not so much. hope the boat wasn't damaged then repaired, thus having new stickers put on which come off easy? maybe the hard to remove side faced the TX sun in the lift and just baked it on?

Bet this is correct and the way it sat on the lift left one side more exposed than the other.

[tgoody14]

Yea I went back through the original pics sent from the owner to the dealer and his lift was at the end of the dock. The easy to remove side with no fading was the inside side of the boat. The hard to remove side with the fading was facing the east sunrise every morning. Good call guys!

Don't sweat it. If the detail shop is worth anything, they will have your boat looking brand new.

Ohhh yeaaaa I'm not too worried. It's not THAT bad anyway, but I gave it a good hour of compounding and wasn't getting much results so I'm gonna leave it to the pros since I'm outta free time. Time is money these days, sometimes it's best for me to throw out the dough rather than spend the long hours doing it myself... Plus there's plenty of other projects I have coming that will require my time (LEDs/Dash lights/Courtesy lights , Upgrade Prop, Cutting the cooler out, Upgrade Ballast, Swivel Board Racks, possibly do a swivel seat... Just to name a few) haha you guys make it all seem so easy....
