 Topic: Correct Craft DebonnairePosted: November-26-2006 at 12:20pm |
|
Hello. I am new to this site. I have a rare 1964 Correct Craft Debonnaire (20')with a running 1964 426-Chrysler Marine Inboard Engine. It is a fibergla$$ boat with a removable hardtop. This boat was not ma$$ produced. It was a prototype and I believe only 3 were made. The engine was the first 426 ever manufactured by Chrysler. I am trying to find any info I can on the boat, including an estimated value. Can anyone offer any information or advice on how to proceed? Thank you!

I have an old factory picture of a Debonaire on display at a Boat Show in the 60's this one is noted to have a Rolls Royce engine in it.
I can scan it and email it to you if you like. It does have the hard top. Very nice looking boat. Can you email me pics of your boat? michaelt@westmarine.com Thanks, Mike Thrower |

Could be a 426 Wedge. A friend has one in a 63 Century. It has dual quads.

It is a 426 (B-four barrel)rated at 290 hp. It is listed in the 1964 Chrysler Marine Manual (and on our valve covers)as a 290 Golden Commando.

Interesting that the Collegian and the Debonnaire are the only two model names I've been able to determine were used on both traditional mahogany models and on the fibergla$$ boats. Anyone know of any others? BKH

The San Juan was a wooden model in the 50's and then Fibergla$$ in late 60's and 70's

We live in PA, near the Poconos. The boat has been in my husband's family since he was a young boy. We had it on Lake Wallenpaupack last summer (05'). |
