Looking good. As for the clear, Depends what kind you get I guess. I would imagine with some good clear and proper prep that it would come off any time soon.

Ive been wet sanding and buffing like crazy to see if i can bring back some-what of a shine to this thing. (its so smooth i bet i could slide across the deck buck naked).....but i probably wont try that any time soon....hahha

I still may need a clear coat of some kind im just really worried about in 2 years the clear starting to chip then i would have to get all the clear off again, and ive had enough fun removing paint already.

Heres a pic

Well i was getting alittle pissy today it doesnt seem like im making any progress on getting the black paint off and trying to buff the original gel coat out
and when I was all done i rolled it back into the garage shut the door and snapped a quick pic. When looking at the pic on my phone i noticed the boat
actually was starting to shine.......WTF.....so i must be doing something right...haha

so from 20 feet it looks good.

Welcome to the forum and you got a great looking Vector, hopefully all the black will come off of it and it take a good clear to get it looking new again. Its going to be alot of hard work but well worth it in the end :boating: .
