67 Nautique Project boat for sale

You guy's thought it was a tailwind when in fact Correct Crafts superior hydrodynamics translates into aerodynamics as well combined with a Correct Craft trailer too.

It would've been funny if our paths would've crossed. I'm sure you would've recognized Mike's boat. Hopefully you enjoyed the nice 30mph tailwind that we experienced for most of the trip.

When are you going to start on your 67 project? I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions as I move along.

Thank you Mike! It was a long haul, 1500 miles almost exactly. But we made it home and it's tucked in the garage. It took me half of the day Sunday to unload the massive amount of parts but I finally got it all. The 2 Chrysler engines in the back of the truck did have it sitting a little low and the cover had a rough trip, but no tire blowouts, wheel bearing failures, or trailer light issues, so a big thanks to Mike for getting this thing road ready for us.

I'll be starting a new thread pretty soon. I'll add a link to the end of this one so people can continue on to the next phase of this boat's life. Hopefully the last one!

Sorry about that Hollywood, didn't even see this until now. We didn't actually go through Chicago anyway, we took 39 up from Bloomington to Rockford.

My 67 Ski Nautique has gone to her new home!! Craig and Kenzie came up yesterday morning on a cannonball run from SE IN, loaded everything up, and headed back home. The truck was riding a little low from all the iron in the back, but I got a message they arrived home safe and sound. I am super happy that the boat will be in good hands and be brought back to glory on the water.

Thanks guys!!

Mike

AWESOME!!!! You're only an hour away from me 2, if i'm driving through columbus expect a PM/

Excellent.

Well after watching this thread and sharing the same amazement that nobody decided to pick this thing up, I've managed to convince myself that I need another boat to work on. After talking to Mike and looking through hundreds of pictures I've agreed to take this old gem off of Mike's hands and keep it in the CCFan family. I'm taking the whole package (340 included) and hopefully with the help of everyone here will get this thing put back together and back on the water where it belongs. I'm pretty excited about owning a 1st gen. Ski Nautique.

Now I just need to make the 1400 mile roundtrip to MN to get this thing before winter hits.

I feel the same way! Would be an awesome project I can't handle right now......

Peter, I'm sure you can get a CCFan chain going.. Tim is heading to Chicago....gas money would be slightly less than $1,000.00.

for me its the distance when you add 1 grand or so for shipping

I'll be up there next week if someone needs help moving it. PicturePat and my brother will be in Chicago twice in October as well!

Mike, I'll shoot you an email. Maybe we can catch up for a beer when I'm in Minneapolis!

My first thought!! Yup, back in the "lean" years CC used what they had in house before trying to bring in (and pay) for new materials.

Same color as my 67 Wildcat... might be what happened when they took the white from the deck and the blue from the hull mixed them up and shot them both the same color.
