I took a look a few years back with a ski buddy who was looking for a project at the time. Floor was rotten with a "new" ply floor screwed on top. Owner was very proud of his boat but it was the epitome of a basket case.

Tim - you have seen a lot more of these boats then I have, so I will always defer to your expertise! I would agree that when they dropped the wooden spray rails (it must have been 1970 then?) and also made significant changes to the top cap, they probably also added that 3" in the hull length (and forgot to change the brochure) that all makes sense. So does this boat have the wooden spray rails? Ahh who really cares its a crappy hacked up boat. I apologize for the thread jack - I always enjoy these little sidebars in this thread, but really appreciate learning more about the Ski Nautique generation changes.

Yes, all changes you describe happened for '70... and Im betting the 2nd gen hull grew 3" too (and the brochure wasnt changed until '73).
If you look close, this basket case does have spray rails. |

Tim I think thats just a dirty water line. If you look close in the last pic it continues all the way to the back. Edit: Now that I look at it I think its a painted line of some sort as it doesn't go around the stern. I'm still trying to figure out what the stainless plate screwed to the stearn was for? |

Keep gas coming out of the tank vent from ruining that beautiful paint job.

It's actually an accent stripe either painted or decal. Not sure there were any spray rails on that heap. I want to say there were holes poorly filled before the paint job but it was a few years ago.

I'm with Chris. There are no spray rails but the chine is painted where they should be, and continued to the stern.

At slow speed, w/o the spray rails that thing has to be chucking water everywhere, or maybe it doesn't... Somebody ought to steel any of the gen one parts off that boat that are left and scavenger the engine and cut that thing into little tiny pieces never to be seen again. $3800 that is CRAZY.

I'd have a hard time giving $800 for that. Maybe $300.

I think this is one thing that we ALL can agree on. I just want to see a picture of a normal-sized dude sitting in that front seat trying to drive. Somebody needs to take one for the team and visit this boat just to take that picture. |

I think it's been established that it's not possible to threadjack the Craigslist thread. The various detours are just part of the fun of it! |

Nice one owner 93, but the owner is pretty proud. If it is as nice as it sounds, the (to-be-negotiated) price could be worth it.

Back to the $3800 boat....I looked at a chair at the same upholstery shop where that guy got his interior done.

The only place where the snaps look really offensive is on the transom there.
I got see that being a handy cockpit cover to have in certain situations. It's cool to have quick protection from pine needles/sap that you can install entirely from inside the boat. |

My old Sport had them on the transom and I remember them being (literally) a pain in the ass when trying to get your board on. However, mine weren't that low down on it.

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

Most likely,serial number would confirm. The most interesting part is how you'd tow an 89 foot boat.

That integrated platform just ruins the look of that boat for me. That's the one thing that CC did with those 1st gens that I never could understand.

No pics or details, but here's a 1966 Debonnaire in Michigan. Priced at $3600 without a motor or trans though...

Haha saw that too. Also, it's 2014 and you can take 1 or 147 pictures without a difference in price. Get one without your damn hand in the way! |
