    New to me 1999 Super Air

    I figured that I should start my own thread. Purchased this 1999 Super Air last month and I figured I can do a little renovation during the winter months.
    The engine runs very smooth and it has the new Perfect Pass with quick fill pumps and 2200 lbs of Ballast. We are mainly wanting to Surf and wake board with the boat.

    Plans and dreams as long as the cash flow doesn't run dry.
    1. Clean buff and polish. The gel coat is really nice with no cracking.
    2. Replace the tower, I don't like the looks
    3. Repair or replace all upholstery with a different color. Seat cushions are like new but I'm not liking the color.
    4. Replace trailer steps.
    5. Possibly change the decals

    Coolest SAN decals there are, imo. Are they damaged or don't you like them?
    Sick boat, congrats!

      Thank you, They are in great condition I was thinking about a more updated look but they are starting to grow on me. I may wait until I get the new tower to see how they look!

        That's a great looking boat, you're going to love it! I really like the decals as well, would leave them alone. Can't really see the interior in that picture so not sure what you are not liking about seat colors. I do agree on the tower.

        I know there are new shiny boats out there, but love the styling of your boat.

          Just know that your SAN decal is no longer available. So if you remove it or f*** it up buffing the hull, you will not be able to replace it.

          Take a look at the New Dimension tower or the Roswell Aviator Pro Wake tower. Either would be good choices.

            I took y'all's advice and put my order in for the New Dimension tower today... They are currently running a 15% off everything Winter special.

                Any updates with new tower? I as well like the decals. I’ve always been partial to the early OGs

                  The new tower is supposed to ship this week!! These decals are starting to grow on me as I begin to put a little more shine to the boat.

                      Looks great, I think I'm going to have to splurge on the ND tower, not having any luck finding another FCT. My tower is in perfect shape but the look of it just bugs the **** out of me.

                      You definitely didn't go wrong with the ND tower instead of going aftermarket. Make sure you get some pics up when you get it on the boat!

                        I started looking for a FCT tower before I purchased the boat, They are not easy to find. I'm really pleased with the build quality of the ND Tower.

                        I seem to have a bad habit of buying whats more affordable first to save money and after I'm not happy with it buying later what I really wanted.

                          Working on the Teak, looks like it has been some time since it's last cleaning

                            Great looking boat! Have you installed the tower yet? I have a 99 Super Sport and did the same tower swap. I did a long write up on here, let me know if you want me to find it for you. Hint: the old tower feet holes make great cup holders haha. I only added one cup holder and put traction pads over the others.
