Stars & Stripes Ski Nautique ???

Do we make different one off boats or not...

Just go back and look at the Orange Crush...

   

best thread so far this year...and for the record, I believe the guy. pics or it didn't happen? well...

Thanks Tim, my bad

You guys are a tough crowd. So, if one of the warehouses did it, wouldn't it be original from Correct Craft? Weren't some of Orange Crush's final touch's put on at Adirondack Marine?

Depends what the definition of "is" is Bruce My thoughts were the same as Pete's too. The more I see these including that beater one that Workman has,with the wrong tach, the more I like them.The red,white and blue just seem right. I like the story behind them too.

Gary, I like them too, although I prefer the standard issue like Steve's "beater". This is an interesting story, though.

My brothers and I had a 1976 Riviera Cruiser Stars and Stripe Bicentenial Model with red, white and blue pom poms. No pictures, so I guess it never happened which is alright by me.

The wait is like sitting...........On pins and needles...............

This thread is as confusing as fathers day on the south side of chicago

It's BYOP ...and Fallstaff Bicentennial Beer

Billy Carter hadn't thought of that name in years!

Wow!!! This journey has been fun. Totally unexpected, but FUN

You guys can really pick out the small details. I saw the comment about windshield color being different between the 1975 picture and present. That triggered a memory that there was some mention of windshield in the handwritten maintenance log.

I pulled the log and there in the 11-1-78 entry it says, "Died windshield frame". So I can confirm the copper color on windshield was an owner change. It appears to me from inspection that frame color change was done by having the aluminum anodized. It was done well as I would have never guessed it had been done by looking at it.

So there's two confirmed changes from factory delivered: 1) swim platform, and 2) windshield frame color.

I also saw comment about speedos in 1975 picture didn't look black. When I look at the 1975 picture they certainly don't look white to me. It looks like Art's hand resting on top of steering wheel is covering them. It's not definitive what color they are but I do believe Art and Jerry when they say the speedos and other instruments are factory original.

Well, I do appreciate all the enthusiasm and banter you all are contributing. I too am anxiously waiting to see what the build records contain.

my boat doesn't have a log
