    Posted: January-28-2012 at 2:46pm
I'm a new owner, wondering if anyone can share pictures and measurements for upholstery and carpet details on an 1980 SkiTique. A code for gel coat color would be great too. I'd like to do the resto correctly. Or is there an official source for this? Will a Guru please speak? Final question- as I restore, and can't find original items like a steering wheel, is there an accepted replacement that this community deems appropriate? Wanna do it right! Thanks for your input!

Tim,
How about some pictures as to what you are starting with. We'll keep you "in line" here with the original!

Looking though the Ref. section and the diaries is also a great resource. Explore the site.

Put your nose to the grindstone Tim and start looking,you can find almost anything if you keep at it. Don't forget Correct Craft used hardware that was available to the entire marine industry,steering wheels like your Tique's were used on alot of boats in the 70s and 80's.

Paul is a great source. He has helped me out with some original parts. Pics will help the group help you, plus we just like em. What are your restoration plans? Are you doing the stringers etc?
