Classic Ski Boat Refurbishment Work – Boat Restorations Medowie NSW
The owner of this classic Performance Craft ski boat asked to get the exterior restored to hopefully a good original gloss. The dark gelcoat strips were very dull and had oxidized so needed a lot of work to bring back up again. Although it didn’t look like new we were very happy with the gloss […]
