1969 Jet Flite V 143 with Mariner 50HP 3 clylinder PT-PT

Any suggestions on the restoration process will be greatly appreciated.  The hull is in good condition.  Split windshield.  Needs cosmetic buffing out and seats.  Is the V143 common or scarce?

Welcome to the group! The V143 is a pretty common boat.

You can try buffing alone first and see how it turns out. Otherwise wet sanding with 600 then 1000 then 3000 then buff then wax would really bring back the shine.

If you redo the upholstery, look under our vender section. Should be a list of people who do upholstery and a list of vinyl suppliers.

Where are you located?

Got any pictures?
