Anyone have a Correct Craft they just dream about having some day?
I have three. The 1st is a 66 or 67 Barracuda. The 2nd is a 62 or 63 Tournament Skier. The 3rd is a 60's SN. |

Larry; Me and Patti had a '03 206, the first year for that model. Was a great all around boat. She loved the open bow and all the storage. Was her favorite boat of all time.

I share similar tastes with a few others like Larry's and my longing for the elusive Torino, and like HW and Jbear's love for the orange promo along with my other favorites decked out in orange. Hot:
I feel somewhat fortunate having already found several old 60s SNs which are destined to be my all-time favorites. And somewhere out there a Mustang SS keeps calling my name. Non CC's: 1. Early Donzi 18 or 22 with HM BBF power 2. A completed 1961 Lyman 21 3. HW's bottom picture; however not the CC, but the Grand Banks trawler in the background, on which Laurie and I will eventually like to be living. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Reid,
My Dad had that Mustang (orange hull with white interior) when I was a kid. Unfortunetly, it was sold long ago. I agree with you, Jbear and Hollywood, love those '72 orange promo Ski Nautiques like Stang's. -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Reid, did you like those early 70's orange boats back in the day?
Are you seriously interested in that Torino I posted a week or 2 ago? ------------- |

Im sure reid was serious, but I'm at least curious too. Have you been back to check it out? Keep me posted.

I did Pete, and I will be calling you. I just want to get into my project first. I'm already to start it. The snow has melted and this past weekend I got one of the boats out of my garage, so the Mustang has its own bay with pleanty of room around it. Next weekend I hope to built an engine stand and maybe pull the engine. Then I start the floor and will be calling you. The boat dryed out really good over the winter. I think my right outside stringer may be a little punky in spots, in addition to the left OS stringer which is shot. ------------- |

Larry, I haven't gone back yet. I'm a real estate appraiser and a job brought me out there, otherwise I would never have been anywhere near that area, probably ever. I've been hoping for another job out that way, but naturally that hasn't happened. I may be able to get there on Sunday as I have to go to NH. The boat is parked at someone's camp, so they're probably only there on the weekends. ------------- |

Love that Paragon.
I'd also like a 2008 BFN with a 502 Python, Direct Drive. The hull would have to be the same as the mid 80's BFN's. (you said "dream boat")

Geno,
Any photos or updates on your project. I think I speak for many when I say we'd like to see how its going. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

No photos as of now - may get to work on it some this weekend and will have pics then. Almost done with the trailer, new bunks, lights, wiring and paint. Still have to carpet my bunks and install marker lights but that's it. The boat's still hanging in the same place - removed 90%+ of the bottom paint and waiting on my body man to fill a few minor scratches and the mounting holes for that hideous aluminum thing that was mounted on the stern, prime and paint. He's been busy lately and since he's a friend, I get put last in line. Will finish it up before the end of May if I have to spray it myself. Oh yeah - still waiting on my original steering wheel as well. ------------- |

There are so many cool boats.I think of the 2001's 89 are the bomb.I think wings are cool,just about any early 60's inboard w/wings
are coolest things.I like the old glassics,in my mind growing up with wood boats Chris's and century's wood is WORK.If you want it to look nice you know what your winter project is gonna be every couple of years.I saw this Annacoro(sp) once on Grand Lake OK huge fins like shark teeth, electric windows hard top had an Michigan Reg. I think you need several.I use my 92 SN most. A nice evening cruise and hot lap in my little flat bottom is something I look forward too.But they'd all have to leave before I parted with my 61 Arena Craft cause its got the wings has a 58 Impala look to it. Wish list....72 big block 18 prefer 19(rare) Century Resorter no sound I ever heard like a Big Block Resorter idling thru the Marina Munday ------------- If the only tool you have is a hammer,everything starts to look like a nail. |
