Classic 1953 double plank mahogany ski-tow boat purchased new, by my father. Upon visiting Cypress Gardens ski show, he decided to purchase one, similar to those used in the show. He had Correct Craft built this boat for him. It has been stored inside, covered since 1962. This boat has NO rot and the wood and frame are in good shape. There is some slight exterior damage sustained from Hurricane Hazel in Sept. 1954 when broke loose from mooring. The boat needs refinishing and new upholstery. The original engine was "pickled" in 1962 and hasn''t been used since. I have ALL the original chrome accents and interior wood parts. This is probably one of the last remaining model of this boat and certainly in the best, unrestored, condition. I grew up on this boat and would like to sell to someone who would do a complete restoration. I will consider offers.
