WE HAD ONE FROM 1968 UNTIL 3 YRS AGO.I THINK THEY MADE THEM FROM 1965-1967.OURS WAS 1 1965 THE FIRST YEAR FOR FIBERGLASS ON THE CORRECT CRAFT.WE HAD A CHRYSLER 318 210 HP IN OURS.I THINK MOST OF THEM HAD CHRYSLER MARINE ENGINES IN THEM.MY NEIGHBOR AT THE LAKE NOW OWNS THE BOAT.OTHER THAN REG SERVICE WE HAD NO PROBLEMS.

Yeah I am debating on wether to treat it like a antique car, or pimp it like a rock store.

Did you restore that 2001 looks nice. I know how big of a deal I don't plan on it hitting water until late 2005 summer of 2006 fully restored. I think as far a secondary boat to tool around in ride behind ocassionaly, it would be pimp with the big air horn.

No... Didn't restore the 2001 - maintained it that way Smile

I did help a bud restore an old ski boat - it was a Pro Am, early 70's

It was sooooooooooooooooooo much work, I can't begin to tell you

I would never do it again, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone

I could honestly say that your boat is "rougher" than the boat we restored

It took all of two years to complete - I bet he spent $10k too

And his reward......? People say "What is that thing?" Not what I call an "attaboy" lol Laughing

Well I have the time and the resources I will have the body and gel coat done by cc pro's the rest (engine, wiring, and interior) I will do with the help of friends I have priced it out and to get it to float 2 g's and to run with a 66 rebuilt chrysler 2.199.00 So for 4,200.00 I can atleast get it in the water.

that should be an incredibly good wakeboard boat because of the shape of the hull and it's probably fairly heavy. I would love to see an old CC that someone has fixed up to be used for a modern wakeboat. There was a 69 Correct Craft for sale over the winter near me but the motor looked shot and i'm not much of a do-it-yourselfer. And it was way more than $500.
