Good evening all, we just got this 95 fish-n-ski. The finish shows every day of the Arizona son. It's rough to the touch, wet sanded a couple spots with 1000grit, it smoothed out nicely and I may be able to buff it out. Now the issue is these cracks. I have zero desire to send the top half down that far. Any thing I can do to fill them or fix it?
nothing you can do will make them look better. You can't sand it smooth and regel or they will come back. They have to be taken down to bare glass and have a couple layers of csm put down and completely spray all new gel, flake, and clear to look new again. Stratos is one of the worst that has the cracks issues due to their lighter layups.
As old as it is, it's probably done all it's going to unless left out in the sun. You can wetsand and buff it all and it'll at least shine up but the cracks aren't going to disappear. Sunlight and heat are the culprits.
I was waiting on APS to chime in. Now what I just did on my 1993 Champion was SeaDek to cover. I didn't have a little darker blue in stock but I did have SeaDek's lightest Blue so 1993 boat, that is what I used.
Apparently I don't have notifications turned on. That was the short plan, just buff it out and live with the cracking, if it's not going to get any worse then I truly do t care at the moment. Only paid 1800 for the boat. Thank you for the info
