1961 Correct Craft Compact Skier 15''8" and original trailer with winch and swivel jack.
Original 144 cid engine was replaced with 200 cid Ford Mustang engine block. Engine has 7 main bearings resulting in reduced harmonic vibrations and increased durability. Per mechanic, the engine was replaced 30 years ago. The original head was used. The valves, guides, rings and bearings have been reworked. No modification was needed for the oil pan. Original distributor was not used due to shaft being too short. The present distributor is not a Mallory. The "curve" of the distributor was adjusted for proper centrifugal advance.
Boat was stored for 16 years prior to my purchase on 10-10-10. Equipped with tachometer, fume detector and blower, volt meter, lanyard switch, spot light and automatic bilge pump. Has new Jabsco engine water pump and new classic wood steering wheel.
