needing help on info for my 81 vip ski boat

[readytoski]

i am new to forum and i am currently refurbishing the interior on my 81 vip ski boat but i am having trouble finding out what the original version of the boat looked like! the boat has some custom work done to it i think.... and i am also having a hard time finding out the original specs of the boat, i have the serial number....vvnv9489m81j. can anyone help me out on some info or input that will help me get this boat back to close as original as possible? i have called across the united states for info and no help yet.

1981 may not be easy to track down, old enough to not be 'current' but not old enough to make the list here

Google is good for hunting down details, but you have to wade thru a bunch of non-relevant stuff sometimes. Post some pix of what you're working on & maybe someone will recognize it.

You could try looking thru the VIP owners group thread

Welcome to iboats, best of luck w/ your project
