No kidding, we did the same thing
My wife and I stripped off the funky stripes, painted the bottom with black Trinidad XR, put on a gold and black stripe, and made a new black sail cover.Along with black covers for the saloon seats, and a nice new privicy drape in a black and brown fabric.It actually looks like a sailboat now instead of a jet ski!You must be as proud of yours as I am of mine.
