What is the condition of your engine and drive train? What about your carpet?
Do you have any plans in these areas? What are all these restorations costing you as you go?

Engine and trans are in good shape - the boat runs strong and has the powerslot. I've got a minor smoking problem that probably indicates a carb rebuild is in order (I hope) - mixture screws don't seem to be working.
I'll also be refurbishing or replacing the trailer, which is in really rough shape. New upholstery and carpet cost $2900, which included taxes and replacing some rotten wood. Seemed high compared to others who posted here, but it was the cheapest of the 3 local estimates I got. Gel coat kit and circular buffer cost me $237 from properboatcare.com, including tax and shipping.

The restoration looks great!! I completed a full resto on the same year and model a couple of years ago. You should be able to remove the pin stripe glue with Acetone. It won't hurt the gel-coat. Also, if buffing will not bring the colour back like you want it, don't be afraid to wet sand the boat. It's lots of work, but the results are awesome.
Good luck with the project. Bruce
