Hi Guys Finally the day came! Last night after 18 hours of driving, the Nautique is finally at my home and i can start the building. As some of you know it will be a long project and getting the wiring done is some of my first project, at least get some "overlook" over what they have tried with it. The story is that it was stolen and recovered by the insurance, and has been not used for more than 4 years. They have distroyed the interior and platform. Today I will go buy new maghoni planks for the platform and then start the "To-Do" list. Any inputs in this project are more than well come. For the curriuos ones: YES THIS IS MY ABSOLUT DREAM BOAT!!!!! :) :) :) This is my first CC Nautique, and I already LOVE it :) Im Locatet in Denmark - North Europe :)

Congrats on your new acquisition. Keep us informed on your restoration. I believe teak is the wood of choice for platforms. ------------- '92 Correctcraft Ski Nautique |

Welcome to CCFan fellow European and congrats on the new boat. Good to see another one being rescued! And you already got the fact that we love pictures here You really came to the right place for a project like this. Great group of helpful and knowledgeable guys! Lots of adresses and websites to be found for getting parts (like http://www.christinesmarine.com/" rel="nofollow - Christines Marine for your interior for example). Or you can also call Zach at N3 Boartworks, great guy who helped me a few times already... So, to sum it up, you came to the right place  And keep the posts (and pictures) coming  ------------- - Gun control means: using BOTH hands! - Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |

Nicol looks like a great project. I did the same thing 20yrs ago with a 92ski. We used that boat for over 15yrs with no problems and had a great time teaching my kids to ski. I travel to AMS for work usually a couple of times a month. If you need parts from the US I my be able to help. Good luck and keep on posting the progress. |

Some pictures in the process. Manifolds are off, water pumps are off and they are working again now. Next stop: Compression test. Whats the compression of an GT40? Where would you buy gasket set for a GT40 ? Thanks guys :) Seems there is some problems with uploading picutres.. will try again later :) |

That looks to be a closed system running antifreeze right? If so just get a Fel Pro set of gaskets,no need for marine ones.Compression should not be more than 10% between highest and lowest. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Well well well Whats the status, the status is that the engine is all checked up now, firing 150Psi on all Cylinders and it is cleaned up and painter. Looks like a bran new. Last night i started making the platform, everything is made by hand. The boat I have build a tent on so the rain and snow not will take its life away. |
