oh, not what I think of as a 'ski boat', but terms vary by region and individual yes, many ideas for boats. boats are designed and built accordingly - adding structure typically adds weight, and boats are sensitive to quantity and location of weight. re-designs can be done, lots to consider

what year, make, model, is your ski boat? that'll make a difference if you're just looking to get outta the sun, maybe a bimini top?

All outboard powered boats under 20' long are required by federal law to have upright and level flotation. Sterndrive and inboard powered boats under 20' long are required to have basic flotation.

I think you'll need to be sure the gel/color layer will have enough depth remaining when the oxidized thickness is removed. Typically, one area of the surface has seen more UV degradation than others.

If your boat has any water and/or wastewater systems, those need winterizing too. How will she be stored this winter vs previous winters (up here where it gets pretty cold)?

what goes down? does it run OK at speed under load?

boat designers often combine these 2 objectives. I don't know what your boat's designer's objectives were on your specific area in question - if you need more structural support there (you can tell), build-in storage too, if you can

I think you're correct - pictures/1000's of words. Start w/entire boat and then closer into your subject/question

A "a 80's 19ft cuddy"? First off, it's structurally sound hull w no rot, stringers strong as new (or better), right?

You're gonna love it! Family and snow - that's the way to go. I've always wanted to go to Miin in the winter. Yes, find a snow covered hill and something to slide on, and make a snow - anything. Best when you can see it out the window, after you get back in by the fire, with family - priceless

are you now winterizing a different boat than before? what're you working on?

The Admiral's cooking the 🍿 - thanks for the pics and updates on your progress

ooh that's nice!

Greetings - sounds like nice boat, but with no pics - does it really exist? your plan seems good, re-evaluate where you are in the spring as far as what'll burn well in your engine. Fuel, chemicals in general, have come a long way in recent years
