Correct Craft Club?

Jim
Your in the right place with a 70 Mustang.
This our virtual lake. Welcome , come on in and set a spell.

70 mustang,welcome aboard don't know of a club in the D/FW area ,but we are as close as your keyboard.The dues for membership reasonable,the integrity of the group as a whole questionable,the information sometimes suspect,but the laughs and feedback are priceless.
Jump in with both feet............boat dr

New CCs, Old CCs any CCs...dont matter... the "Dr" pretty much summed it up...just have fun and enjoy!!

70 mustang...welcome to our club, its the best culb you could join, and its free...

Thanks for all of the warm welcomes! Shannon and I are glad to have found this site. I also appreciate all of the compliments on our new purchase. She is a really sweet ride! I don't know how to set up a member profile with pics but if someone can help me out with that I'll try to get some fresh pics up as well as some of lake fun.

I also need to talk to the group about modifications. I don't know if you guys prefer "All Original" crafts or if "mild mods" are cool here. Either way, I hope I don't get any noses turned up at me but we are looking into installing a Monster Tower and a full swim platform. Any words on either subject? I need to know where to get the platform other than making one myself and if anyone knows of anyone with a monster tower in the N. Texas area that is selling thier boat I would love to talk to them. Thank you in advance for any a$$istance.

BTW John, my brother-in-law picked up the boat for me as I'm still in NM, but he did say it seemed like he wasn't too happy with the price I paid him for it. Ryan said he thought he was still talking to her when he pulled out of the drive. No to mention the look of "WTF just happened here" on his face.

Be good,
Jim & Shannon ~

Jim,some on this site are die hard purist,and leave it as it was from C/C,then there are us that want change the outward appearance but are looking for more bang when it comes to the engine.This can be seen in some of the posts.
IMHO the towers just don't look right on the older boats,but then i have a thing about drilling holes in a 40 year old boat.
Bottom line is look before ya leap,sometime simple is better......boat dr

Jim,

I lived for four years in Roswell, loved the mountains that were close, great people, but I'm thrilled to be back in the midwest (KC) with lots of water, lakes, and boats, and some winter right now.

Jim:
Please a$$ure me you are talking about a monster tower for some other boat, not this sweet Mustang.

It's your boat - but a tower on a Mustang? They are pretty narrow & you'll pull the boat from side to side. If you tried a Fly-High pole the rope could be ajusted lower to minimize the leaverage.It's less than 1/2 the price & if it works sell it in a year,then do the tower thing.   

No problem on the tower. That's whay I pitched it out there. We'll back off the tower for now as my son is not going to be up to snuff until next year. This is going to be his second year wakeboarding. Not too bad for a 6 year old I guess.

THanks for the comments JMurph, we're prett stoked to have found her, got him to work with us on the price, and he was 10 minutes from my sister's house. Everything was just way sweet!

Everyone braggs on their rig but Ryan said this boat liiks like new. He handed over around $5K in reciepts from the past 24 months and he said the engine is so clean that you could eat off of it!. He said there are a few cracks on the deck around the windshield. 2 or 3 about quarter size. After crawling all over her for about 1 hour that is the only thing he found wrong. This cat provided proof of about 30 hours on the OMC 305, seperated hull with all new stringers & runners, all new interior (2003), trailer has been re-worked with LED lights, paint & new chrome mag wheels, all new cables & wiring. Okay enough is enough, there's no doubt she's a way sweet little puller! I should be there ina few days and we're going to give her a tooth brushing as Ryan said she way dusty as all get out from sitting outside (under a custom cover) since winterized in 2006. Then I'll get some more pics for you guys.

Hey, keep in touch and we'll holler at you on the flip side.....

Jim & Shannon, out ~

That's cool Pete. We're pretty stuck on the swim platform idea as it makes life so much easier especially with kids getting in and out of the water.

Rest a$$ured that it'll look first cla$$. I don't own anything half *ss. Even if I need to fabricate something from scratch; it'll look factory.

We also haven't ruled out buying a second boat to rag out with towers, platforms, ghetto blasters, stickers & what not. We may just keep this on in the garage for Sundays when Shan & I just want something to cruise the lake in for a few hours.

I believe that it had metal "Correct Craft" emblems on each side.
In my opinion the swim platform does not take away from originality, and if you are in and out of the water a lot it is an upgrade that is well worth it.

By the way, this website ROCKS! Just in case no one knew that already!! Thanks for all of the comments, support, and suggestions!! :0)

70 Mustang, I say go for the swim platform they are a worth while modification and can look pretty cla$$y if done with good style. If you want to fly high on the wake baord you could get one of the extended pylons that slide over your stock one. This way no drilling is required and you can be back to stock in a few minutes. I have one on my 79 Ski Tique that stands 7 feet, it's made by a company called "Fly High". Lots of brands out there though.

I think we've decided to go with the pole extension for the time being. I can always use ny buddies boats with the towers. I guess there is really no need to drill extra holes on a boat like this.

I'm going to start work on the platform around mid May.

Thanks for the compliments on our latest purchase MaddMarxx. We are very excited and I have yet to see her in person. All of my intel is coming from my brother-in-law (Ryan) who went and picked her up for me.

I am supposed to be heading to Texas in the morning but we just got about 3/4 foot of show last night and I'm hoping that I-40 get cleaned up before I head out. I'm gonna run over to his place and pick her up Friday morning. I'm stoked!!
