Dakota ... I have a 4 stroke Yama ... which I have repainted certain areas ... you don't want to go there ... If you get the Original paint from Yama ... It is a three step process ... three aerosol can will cost you over $75 ... It looks like you have the last clear coat as an issue ... ... To be honest ... Clean it and wax it and don't let it happen again ... That is what I have learned ... <'TK>< :)

Thanks TK. I wish it would not have happened in the first place...dry storage people. Last year I took it out of dry storage didn't want to get beat up anymore.

Wear the scratches proudly, it shows the boat gets used versus being a trailer queen. Most of the places I fish are full of trees and such and as such the boat and motor inevitably get scratched. The first ones on a new boat hurt the worst.

I would buff it (with a buffer not hand) with wax as it will get all that is not to the under coat, that is what a Body shop would do.

Thanks fellas. I've had the boat since 2007 so I have seen worse. Thanks for your replies.

You just need bigger stickers to cover up the scratches!
