Need help! 06 x star

[BELLA XStar]

Ok mastercraft peeps. Just bought a 06 xstar. Working on getting its beauty back. Previous owner let it sit in a storage lot. Anyways, decals got burned into the hull. I will just post picks in progress. So my options are to repaint, try to find new decals, or wrap it. It terms of value which one will help the boat keep it valve. Suggestion?

Does any one have or know we're I can find the tribal decals ? They were the ones from the x games. I know I saw some for sale on this forum somewhere but can't seem to find them now.

So here is after the decals are off and initial wet sanding. Should I cut my losses or keep having them wet sand?

Have them try and buff out a small part to see

That's after wetsanding? Do a hard cut polish and see where you are at. You could also wrap the boat. But people have brought them back.

More wet sanding. Otherwise you will see the old sticker lines. This one is gonna take some time, but it will clean up! Good luck and post pics when it's done. You might need some professional air tools one this one. But can make it like new.

Ok another question. Anyone have a ball park number for complete upholstery on my 06 xstar. I have been getting numbers all over the place. I want quality not cheap. And want it done right. I have gotten everything from $2500 to $4500 to $6500

I agree with above to wetsand and buff. You can get WAY aggressive with gel coat vs automotive paint.

The other options you mentioned (wrap and paint) will always be options so you may as well go to town on wet sanding. I had a section on the transom that had burned in Hyperlite sticker when I bought my 06 x30. It eventually came out with a good deal of wet sanding- Id wager that will come out but man thats a lot of elbow grease coming your way. I left the tribal off and like it a good deal better. I would respectfully suggest that you get the gel looking right and then decide what decal you want. You can update the look significantly

The gelcoat on my x45 was pretty bad, but not as bad as yours. Mine was not salvagable, and seriously considered doing a wrap. I decided against it because i would always know what the gelcoat was like underneath. So i found someone local that actually resprayed the gelcoat for about 2k. This would just be for the red part that's faded real bad.

For the interior, i took it to viper customs, and they did a great job. It was 4500-5000, don't remember exactly.
