Cool boats. Probably cost more than an older Correct Craft if you can find one. I used to have a C hydro. I saw one for sale a couple of years ago that was not nearly as nice as the one we had and they wanted $4500 with the motor. Is a B a 20 hp motor?

I'm going to use a 10 hp Lightning, I'm looking for a vintage hull with the dual cockpit, it does not have to be a "name" maker. The boats in the photos above would sell for nice money, but they are in original shape, by famous makers. A well made kit boat from the same era would be worth 1/10th. If it needs some work that is fine, but I would like to find one with the hardware.

Gary, sounds like we will head up north the weekend of the 25th. Shoot me an email and I'll get in touch with the seller.

Post pics if you get it. I love those boats. I had a C/D Marchedi hydro years ago with a Mark 30 racing engine. I bought the engine off a Utility racer from Quincy, Mass. My buddy and I were way too young to have gotten into such a nice toy back then. If we had only just stored that stuff away.

Hey, sent you an email yesterday thru the site....been battling the email gods lately. I have emailed him several times, called yesterday and haven't heard anything back. I was going to head up this weekend but it might be the 15th when I head to the Warner Auction before I can get up there.

If we need to get it out of his hands before, I could ask a friend to go take it to their garage. They have a lake house up there so I'm not 100% sure when they will be up next.

Shoot me an email with your # and I can give ya a call tonight.
