This is an interesting project. First time I've seen it; have been absent from the forums recently. It sure would be interesting to determine what we called this model. We built some various models all called Debonnaire it could be one of those. Have you found evidence on it that it is in fact a Correct Craft? Many companies built wooden I/O's.

Other than from the old man I bought it from. the correct craft emblems that came with the boat. And pictures to compare to I have no proof that it's a correct craft

It looks to match up with the one I referenced to on eBay Art. And it looks sort of like the ones in the brochure thats been posted. I thought the Debonair's were big but maybe over the years the name has been reused?

The gauges, engine, outboard and decking match everything of correct craft. Gary has posted some great pics of pretty much identical boats.

Depending on the value I might have it professionally restored. I got it so cheap I figured I couldn't mess up much value. But as I seeing this unique I wouldn't want to mess it up.

Joe,
Regarding the value, that is a difficult question. Yes it's unique but also I can say not really sought after so, a buyer will probably be hard to find. The $$? I can honestly say that if you had a pro restore it, the cost would be more than the value around 3 to 4 fold. It's the man hours that cost the $$. Projects like this are typically done by individuals with a "labor of love" attitude. As a reference, I have seen similar boats go for around $500. |

Unfortunately you'd be upside down the minute you walk into a restoration shop. Like it has been said before just because it's rare does not make it valuable.

Yes, Gary; I believe that the Deboaire name was re-used a few times. I have seen a couple of different spellings of it in the archives, not sure if it's an error or intentional. There is a fiberglass one in the barn at Southeast that is a tri-hull with that name on it. |

Didn't know until now that you had gotten CC emblems with it. Can you post a photo of them? If so, please put a size reference such as a ruler with it. I might be able to tell the era of the boat by their design. |
