Roger, you blew my $100 steal!!!

HA! I wondered if this one would find it's way here.

That thing is a cool boat, looks like it is all there, and it is in AZ, so a chance it is not all rotted to hell! Good project for RJ when he finishes relocating out that way.

Steve,
You will need to get down there before Jeff does!
It looks like the V box is missing?

I will be shocked if this thing goes for $100. Doesn't Tim really like that Green, with the Holman Moody - he would probably drive to AZ for that price.

Always interested to see if anybody actually bites on these old CC's. This one will be interesting, because it has the Bat-boat windshields still intact.

I wonder how CC ever justified those windshields, those couldn't have been cheap to build and I don't think anything else used windshields like that (although I have a very limited depth of knowledge on other boats of that period.

Steve,
They were actually easy to build and I say cheaper than the conventional. When I was at Watercraft, we had one on the lake that the owner broke. It's just a piece of thin poly that is curved by hard and held in place by the frame. The frames were easily bent by hand as well. They are held in place when screwed to the deck.

that is one rough looking boat and it is missing a lot of parts it also has the below water exhaustI don't have a green one though I'll be watching it

Saw that a few days ago and I do love that green and the HM powerplant. The Torino/separator are fascinating bits of CC history but as cool as they are, I don't have much yearning for one. That one is more interesting than most though.

Besides, I already have one boat that needs to make its way back from Phoenix... 2 ain't happening unless Mars can figure out how to stack them.

Project 1969 Torino

But it has the more powerful Chevy motor 400hp maybe a few have gone now

That's a really cool boat, is it painted?

That boat was for sale on craigs list in Boiling Springs NC last year, Looks ok but stringers are completely shot, and numerous soft spots in floors. I think it was priced around $1500, Engine seemed good.

68 Riviera

According to the owner of this boat, it's not the same one on Craigslist a year ago.

This boat was never in NY. We have owned it for approximately 10 yrs. It was my father in law's, who had it built in Florida by Correct Craft, which his family owned. The boat is in fairly good condition, no stringer problems, has not been in the water for a few years but has been started every year. This is not the boat from NY. Thanks for checking.

So--maybe anyone interested in a nice $3500 Martinique could take a look.

I would bet that's VHF, not CB, (plus VHF are typically white), which even though it's apparently on Winnipesaukee, would imply some saltwater history....

This guy claims this SV211 will run 72mph and has way more:

"Has a 6k RPM Rev Limiter Chip, runs 72mph in it's current configuration, capable of MUCH more. Has been re-propped to handle the built motor, still pulls out of the hole much stronger than a stock boat"

Guy has 130 pics but I did not see any of the motor??

Timmy has a challenger perhaps :)

That really is amazing, the centerpiece of the boat is the built motor but pictures of every hull angle at 7 degree increments but none of the motor!

I like the foot warmer exhaust above the platform. Have to admit it must sound great.

I like the "ramblin" trailer. Got a Steve k inspired v drive center trim tab.
