You got that right.. About the first of October, the water becomes unfriendly and too cold to swim in.

There are many newer wakeboard boats on my lake. There is some enjoyment watching the jet boat family. Watching the long rooster tails and sound is fun.

Instead of my lake I'll talk about 'my' country.
57% of all inboards are CC. 25% of CC's are on my lake. We once managed to get half of all CC's in the country together!
OK, now in numbers: 7 inboards total, 4 CC's, once my buddy brought his to my lake so we had 2 together. Impressive huh!

I am on Keuka Lake in the finger lakes area of NY. I have never notices how many CCs were on this lake till I bought one. There used to be a dealer right on the lake but they went out several years ago. Just riding around this weekend, I probably saw 5-6 Martiniques the same vintage as mine. There are a lot of the mid to late 80s vintage 2001s. I know of 1 Silver Nautique that looks in imaculate condition. There are a lot of inboard boats on our lake, wood and glass. I would guess that Correct Craft is the largest percentage. There are a lot of other interesting inboards though. I know of a 65 Owens with 327 marine conversion, early Hackercraft replica with flathead ford marine conversion, several early glass Centurys (Resorters, Cheetas, MKII and others) and I just saw a Corvette boat this weekend.

The pontoon boat thing baffles me a little bit
There are tons of them on my lake.

My aunt and uncle have one and love it; I understand. It's kind of fun to put around on and see the sites. Even when they had a regular boat, they drove it slow anyway, so this suites them better. They're in their 70's so it's also nice to just step from the pier right into it.

The thing that I don't understand is there are lots of young families with them too. There's one that has a huge outboard, like tournament bass boat proportions. With that motor it gets just enough speed for them to use it for tubing and knee boarding. I can't help but think they'd be much happier if they took that motor and mounted it to a bowrider-runabout instead.

Edit:
... or bought a Correct Craft instead!

I haven't counted the CCs in my town, but there are a lot. 5 out of 13 houses on my little court have CCs. Maybe I'll have to count them. If there are not at least 250, I'll be surprised. BKH

When I was saving for my SN, my family members used to pretend that they were each, individually, going to go out and buy pontoon boats. Just to get me heated because they knew how bad I wanted a ski boat.

If I knew pontoon boats came equipped like that, maybe I would have been alright with it :)

Now I want to take my camera to the lake this weekend and try to document all of the CCs.

I am jealous of guys up north. I think yall got more inboards and Correct Crafts up there.

Great pic by the way on the Pontoon. My dad is thinking of buying one for the family. There great for hanging out and enjoying the afternoon. He said, you got the ski boat, when we want to go out skiing or whoever can go with you, other than that we can we swim, and float on the pontoon. Tie the pontoon and the ol nautique up and float away..

Secord Lake in mid-Michigan. Not sure why, but the boats are either ski boats (all flavors) or Pontoons. I've got one of both.... 4th of July is crazy and the '83 stays on the hoist. Last 4th of July on one of the pontoon rides we counted 100+.

I wish there were more CC's around here, I know a few guys that have them but never go out. Pontoons are a good party barge!

6.I know someone has a Sport Nautique but I haven't seen it out yet this year.

I don't think any of them except me are CCFans though

Considering how small the lake is, and the crazy high number of party barges and bass boats, that's pretty respectable. There's a fair amount of old style Malibu Responses, I'd say it's a close race between those and CCs for inboard ski boats.


Hey Brian,
A few years ago I had mine cruising around Balch.
That's a pretty cool little lake.
About three summers in a row, we rented a house right across the road from the marina.
If I remember right, the NH/Me border went through the yard.
We'd have that cove all to ourselves for the whole week!

Wow, what a small world!
Yes, the Maine NH border does run right through there. Actually, the majority of the lake is Maine, but I always call it New Hampshire, because that's where our side is.

Yeah, it is a cool little lake. It's good for skiing too; doesn't get too choppy. Only down side is there aren't many official markers for where the shallow spots are. You just have to know or rely on the unofficial ones people have made. One guy made a funny little makeshift tombstone in honor of his propeller.

Sunday nights are the best part of the weekend. I'm hoping for some weekdays off later on. It gets really quiet during the week.

Correct! I bought it from a guy named Dave. Funny, small world. Had to have the trans rebuilt but other than that it's been holding up great.
