Hi everyone. I just recently found the site and joined, and thought I'd say hello with more than just a parts wanted post.
Our CC is a 1969 Freeport with a Chryser 318 that sits on the original CC trailer. With our growing family, I couldn't pass up the deal this past winter from a friend of a friend. So far I've given it a proper tune up and cleaning, rebuilt the rear seat frame and engine cover and re-upholstered both. Our old boat was a 1960 15' outboard fiberglass runabout that we cleaned up as a barn find. It was a fun project but I'm not much of an outboard fan and the boat was just too small for a family of 4, soon to be 5. Here's a couple shots. I've already had the pleasure of dealing with a CCF member on picking up a replacement rudder and I look forward to many years of enjoying a CC as well as the community! We plan on keeping the Freeport for this season and next before we upgrade to a bit newer SN, which has always been my dream boat. |

Nice boats, you'll love a Ski Nautique after driving those.

Thanks guys-
The water in pic 3 is a small cove that my in-laws' place sits on. It's a beautiful lake with no public access, just a bit on the small side. |

Good looking boat Rob! Welcome aboard!
I can see "trouble" brewing in the eyes of your "driver"! My daughters love their Correct Craft still, at 18 and 17. Keep her busy! |
