Re-produced Correct Craft Decals

Very awesome I will be needing several of both versions !!

My 70's trailer will look much better with them.......... sign me up! Call coming..........

We decided to produce these knowing that we could only really get close on the 1970's decal. In an effort to help keep our cost down, we decided to produce what we pictured! The script had to be hand drawn. We used the 1980's bottom font in the 1970's decal to also help keep cost resonable. We had a huge advantage on the 1980's decal. Bruce at N3 marine sent two chrome 1980's decals that could be used to help reduce design cost and provide something for us to work with! The reality was that we were never able to get a good image to use or never a complete decal picture without some obstruction within the image. It took time just to get the size since many people offered a variety of measurements. In discussion with our design artist "Dan" the original font in Correct Craft does not exist as a computer text and was of course hand drawn many years ago. The curles within the font on the letters expecially the "C's" were the most challenging. For us it would have been much easier to only produce the 1980's decal, but we did not want to disappoint many of you. Adding more artwork and time into the design would increase the cost of each decal. The chrome decal really looks awsome and I hope that it really adds something special to your boat and trailer.

By the way we slightly increased the size of both decals to help cover years of fading on your trailer! The size of the 1980's is 2 1/8 X 10 5/8 and the 1970's is 2 3/8 X 12 1/4

Pauly, I totally understand your reasoning on the compromises- I think thats very reasonable. You did a heck of a job and even kept the price much lower than I expected... job well done! I think these should sell very well for you. I know that Ill take several sets- Ill shoot you an email.

Randy, I have all items collected and they have been boxed ready for shipping. Please email me again at mrfurymn.8124@yahoo.com
I lost your previous email! Sorry

Thanks Randy, that works perfectly. Glad to here that the boat is working out! Please update with pictures of your restoration. That would be very interesting for both Scott and I. The yellow 1989 always caught alot of attention from people. Most people would think that the boat was only a few years old.

We are looking at trying to do the mid 1980's black Ski Nautique trailer decal and the late 1980's black Ski Nautique with the globe. We have a very good image of the black with the globe from skierbrant who owns a 1989, but nothing for the split diagonal from about 1985-1988. Please let us know if there is an interest in getting this done, or are some of these decals still out there?

Thanks-Pauly-Banana

   Randy,

Just completed as of 2/12/2010 huge assortment of warning decals for your Correct Craft trailer and boat! All but one at $7.00 each, the large 1990's yellow and red goes for $10.00 each! Page one has payment and shipping instructions!

To "mod" or not to "mod"..... that is the question!

It is a good summary of the two sites..............

This is exactly why we have taken the time to get these warning decals made. I really respect the fact that some CCF members are trying to complete their restoration project with all the i's dotted and t's crossed.

I sure think that many would agree that this is worth the time and energy and monetary resources. This is a take it or leave it product. It all depends on how important it is to each individual Correct Craft owner. Some on this site go with the "keep it original" which is what these help accomplish!

Sometimes the removal of these actually decreases the value of the product. We have a good friend who purchased a 1989 thirteen years ago and immediately called to request all warning decals for the boat and trailer! If he would not have been able to get those at the time, he would have possibly passed on the deal. He is a solid skier, barefooter, but also wanted a complete package for his boat, which ment having those decals.

On the trailer ID label Don Bostick would just put it in the typewriter and type in the info for the trailer nothing fancy. I have in stock the Correct Craft decal that was used on the rear corner in black and white. This is the decal that had the globe on it. Also have other NLA decals.

Pauly

do still have the rear warning for the 90's sn? I also need the warning that goes besides the gas tank fill neck...
only problem I see is payment...but we can work it out some way..
