I would give it a go with a buffer before I went with the repaint. I did what this guy said to do (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/52772-tips-compound-polish-wax.html) and am extremly happy with the results.

kriskussee, nice link with a lot of usefull information that I could have probably used, but thats what this was all about hopefully someone else like vdriven and others can learn from this thread and maybe save their pocket book a little money, I'd much rather spent money on a tower than a paint job, however my faded gel coat wasn't my main problem it was the stain from their boat house that had been spilled on the boat. I wish I'd taken more detailed photos at the beginning so I could post them, but I wasn't really planning on needing them.

I totally understand why bhrickyard needed to go the route of repaint with the stain embedded in the finish. Kriskussee - thanks for the link, some super useful information. My gelcoat isn't to the point that I think I'll have to wet sand so I'll try some cutting compound first and go from there. I've included a pic so you can see the boat (previous owner in pic btw).

Wow great boat! Thanks for all the pictures you really did this up nice. I love the ski centurion boats from the 80's and 90's they had some real character. I love that you have made is so custom it is really nice. I have a 1990 Falcon Barefoot that I am in the process of cleaning up. Thanks for all the info!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback and information others have shared on this thread. I'm hoping to get my tower ordered this winter as of now I'm leaning towards the Aerial K2 tower, I've been holding out thinking they might offer it in black power-coat. I have a few more little things I'd like to do to it over the winter; Interior lighting(1/2" plexi-glass back lit with LED's) under ski lockers, seats and open-bow wrap around, underwater transom lights, fat sacs, and of course the tower.

And as for how satisfied I am with the boat thus far, I couldn't be happier, I mean I don't have push button ballast, or perfect pass, but the entire family can fit comfortably and we tried our best to wear the thing out this summer, we had it out every weekend. I have had Zero problems, other than loading it on the trailer which I finally figured it out, turns out loading an inboard was nothing like an outboard, and I wasn't backing the trailer deep enough into the water. The paint holds up a lot better than I'd originally thought it would, but it does requires more attention than the original gel coat, the interior gets warmer than I thought it would be but I went with Wake Doc's advice and keep a spray bottle with ice water and it does the trick. And as for gas this thing is awesome no joke I expected it to keep my pocket book cleaned out for me, but I'm very surprised with how great it does just cruising around, and its not bad pulling tubes and boards either. All in all I'm very satisfied with it, it was a true budget build yet I don't go to the river with out someone asking me if I'd sell it, or wanting to check it out, but more importantly the whole family enjoys getting to go out and play on the weekends, plus my 5yr daughter was able to get up and ski all by herself on her "big girl" trainer skis.

The boat looks great on the water, great to hear the entire family is into using the boat makes it a lot easier to justify the cost of it.

Thanks again for all the positive reply's!! I talked with Jordan @ h20sportswarehouse.com yesterday about the Aerial K2 tower. And looks like it will finally be available in black powder-coat come late April. I've been patently waiting and hoping that they would offer it in black. I hope the pre-order list isn't too long.

      I see Lamb80782 had the same remove the driver seat as I am having.
      I didn't see the ulitmate solution.  I think removing "stop" would be the solution but am unable to see very well under the seat.  Has anyone come up with the solution?
      I also am reoving to have re-uphostered.  Itried removing the black access cover but it is very tight under there and not enough room for a regular wrench.  May try a 1/4 rachet drive.
