Ever sense my dad died back in December I've been wanting to get that boat back. I have a lot of good memories with my dad driving me open water skiing. Hull number CTC30994E393 It's dark blue and black on the sides with a white top Somebody please help me find the current owner. Last I checked the boat might be on Lake Martin Alabama. Thanks for any help Charles Moore

Don't give up! This year at the SJRR I met a CCFAN named Ross and while talking we found out his dad ordered my Ski Nautique from the factory in the summer of 1985. They sold it around 1987-88 and then it was sold again a year or so later. It ended up in Sarasota with the previous owner until I bought it in 2012. Ross took pics and rode in it 25 years later and now I ski on the same lakes in Winter Haven that Ross skied on in the 80's. It was cool for both of us to find out the history of this boat. If you get more info I think it should be pretty easy to find.

I only found one dark blueish one (if thats even the one). But we will find this boat for you. Did/could you ask the ski club if they have any clues/ideas of who they may have sold it to?

If you are on a desktop, read the links in my signature for image and video help. Or click the "Post Reply" button bottom left of this post and you will see an icon to add/upload images.

If you are on a phone or tablet it is a bit more tricky.

Looks a lot like this one.

As you can see, there's a phone number in that ad that was in Mississippi. The boat was sold but maybe the seller has info about the buyer.

EDIT: Nope, just noticed the hull number was in that one: CTC30097H293

Welcome aboard Charles, Good to hear from you this afternoon and glad you found the site. will keep a watch for the old 93 for ya.

The DNR in Alabama found my boat in Birmingham!!!!
I'm literally about to start crying. I'm going to write the current owner and see what happens from there.

Wow, this story is getting very interesting. Good luck and please keep us up-to-speed.

And - I LOVE that color combination.

I finally talked with the current owner in Birmingham Alabama. He sent me a couple of pictures and it looks like it is still in good condition. He said that he will discuss selling the boat with his sons and see what they want to do. If nothing else at least I know the boat is being taken care of.

I defiantly will post some pictures. Just hope you don't mind seeing me crying. I kick myself everyday for selling it.

What ever happened to this? I wondered if the owner said no and then Charles wanted nothing to do with this site. I really was hoping he would get the boat.

Keep after him Charles! My wife and I had a somewhat similar chase with her boat (story in this thread) but it was worth the wait. Once it came up we didn't hesitate and were ready to write a check.

Sounds like the current owner is a nice enough guy and will give you first chance at the boat!

I originally sold the boat when I was going through a lay off and I needed the cash for bills. Now the boat has sentimental value to me because this past year my father passed away. He drove me up and down the slalom course many times in that boat.

You never know how a story like this will end. Hopefully Tim won't mind my sharing his story, but through patience and perseverance he was able to re-obtain his family's first CC, a 68 mustang sold decades ago, this past year and presented it to his dad for Christmas. How cool is that? (that's Tim at the wheel)
