those are going to get expensive but would be a great pattern for a mold. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

The last pair went for $147 IIRC. I made 2 bids on them, but the 1st bidder already has them up pretty high. We'll see what happens in a few days. ------------- |

bidding early is not the way to bid it just drives the price up, the thing to do is wait until the sell is almost finished and then keep increasing your bid even if your already the high bidder.
that mean's you don't start bidding until the last few minutes of the auction. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

I'm concerned about the color. They look like copies that someone made using ether a pourable urethane or a rtv. Both will turn yellow with age and sunlight makes it worse. Anyone thinking about "pulling" a mold off a older one and then casting new ones STOP!! I've been through this before. It can be done with black urethanes but not white. The white must be injection molded with a white resin such as Sanoprean. It is possible but the tooling cost may get high but not as high as the zinc die casting mold needed for the CC tags. I'm currently looking into the step pad tooling with our injection plastics division. We are currently running a white UV stabilized overmold for a UPS truck grab handle. I will walk across the street on Monday and see whats going on. We would make some "temp" tooling that has a slow production rate but would hold up for better than a 1000 pieces. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Doc, Chances are good that the originals were made of the Sanoprene I mentioned. It is a synthetic rubber that was developed during WWII when the natural rubber was in short supply. I'm not sure if any improvements have been made in the base resin. I can check on that - what life do you want? 44 years? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete, I'd be in for 4 of them, too.
My frames are really pitted. About 4 years ago, I found a set of 4 old, but near perfect frames with old and brittle rubbers, in an old tackle box. They were from our old Barracuda. I sold them on ebay for $35 because I wanted someone to have them. That was when I thought I would never have an old CC again. Man, I wished I didn't sell those. I sold them to hemihydro if anyone know's him. ------------- |

I think they look great. They are probable not a bright white. A whole lot better than what I had before! I have no idea what they are made of, but mine stays under cover most of the time & not out in the sun, so I think they will be fine. They are soft & pliable. I guess if you ask, I would have to say they probably would not pass the Pete test of original. I think the seller is actually Midwest Correct Craft or associated with them. You might try them direct to see what they sell for. ------------- Greg http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2427&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985" rel="nofollow - 86 BFN |

I bidded on the first set. I'll make my own before I pay that much. I emailed him about what they were made of, he said he didn't know what the originals were made from, but these were of a similar material, which he didn't go into details about. I also asked him if these were NOS or remanufactored, because in the first auction it just said new, he said they are reman. and he's also making the flags. ------------- Tim D |

Bad news guys! I said I was going to walk over to our plastic injection division this morning to see about molding the step pads. I just got back from finding out they shut it down on Frday. Things haven't been the greatest around here lately as I as well as several others have had pay checks bounce. The plastic end was real slow because so much has been going over to China. At least in the metal stamping side we are seeing dies come back to us. China can't maintain the quality. In the mean time, I've been updating my resume!!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Bruce, I have a funny feeling that they are as yellow as shown in the picture. I would think that if he had a better picture that he would have posted it.

Actually I don't feel silly at all. I knew what color they were when I bought them since I already have a set of them. What I paid was only $15 more for the set of 4. I don't think I will lose too much sleep over that! Heck I might just buy all 10 sets & stock pile them so I can replace them when they turn yellow!  ------------- Greg http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2427&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985" rel="nofollow - 86 BFN |

Chris, I actually emailed partsmanjerry through ebay regarding the pennant/burgee debate. I used some wording to see if he is part of MWCC. His answer didn't reveal anything!! This is copied and pasted from my sent message to him:
"partsmanjerry, This item is not a pennant. It is a burgee! You need to get your boat item names straight. A pennant has one point on the "tail". A burgee like this one has two. It seems that you haven't been around boats very much. If Midwest Correct Craft is in your area, you should stop in over there and check with them. On second thought, they probably wouldn't know the proper terms ether. Good luck with the sale, Pete - proud owner of 54 and 77 Correct Craft's" Chris, you're probably correct that they are hot parts out the back door at MWCC or he's been dumpster diving! My slam on the BURGEE was that the graphics they used were not correct. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete I e-mailed the guy too a couple of times actually, the first time he said what county he was in then I throw back, I've been to MWCC and he says that he lives pretty close and can met me there and asked if I'm bringing cash. The pay-pal says it all though for me. Guess you just need to call MWCC and ask for Jerry, isn't that who replaced Dennis anyway? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=756&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1979&yrend=1979 - 79 nautique |

| I have spoken with Bruce at MWCC a couple of times and ask him if he knew "partsmanjerry". He told me he was not aware of any employee there that would be selling these items. He also told me he was curious and would have to look into it. I don't know what if anything came of it. |

Chris, Sounds more and more like we have a dumpster diver or Jerry is getting stuff out the back door from someone else! Maybe it's Bruce! It wouldn't be very smart to get stuff from work, sell it on ebay and use your real name! I've never had a need for, nor thought very highly of MWCC so I don't know anyone there. Back in the 70's when I was at Watercraft Sales, we were going direct to the factory. I think it's the same now (at least for boats) as Watercraft does all it's own factory blemish work so new boats do not stop there. Our ski club/team used to get a lease/promo boat from MWCC. If I was corporate, I would have been ashamed of the boats they would lease us. They certainly were not promo boats!! They looked like they had been over Niagara falls - twice plus we could barely keep them running. One I remember used as much oil as gas! Picture a 5 year old boat thats been leased to ski clubs for 5 years.
What did you do to PayPal? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete, You can really wander around some times. How does something a dealer did in the seventies relate to rubber step pads 3 decades later? Pick up the phone and call Bruce Foutz, if anyone knows whether something fishy is going on it will be him. Bruce single handedly has helped out this website more than any other person at CC so lets get some facts before throwing anyone under the bus. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

When it comes down to it, does it really matter who "Jerry" is. If you want the pads, buy them. They work great for my application & I am happy with my deals with this mystery person. They fit the original frames & are 150% better than what I had. If they are not up to your standards, pass on the deal.

Pete, Give Bruce a call someday and talk to him, he is an encyclopedia of CorrectCraft and you'd enjoy the conversation. If he knows anything about this not being legit he will tell you about it.
It is a little odd that partsmanjerry has quite a few other CC items for sale also. He may have found himself a little niche market for hard to find items, his guide pole covers sell like they're made of gold. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |
