So......a few years ago my brother Bill and I were lucky enough to borrow a Promo at White Lake. Ever since I have wanted one. A couple weeks ago one showed up on another site...not sure where..cant find the original message...and the very awesome Ms Patti gave me the go-ahead. Yesterday Scott Zuelzke took a road trip and picked it up for me. Big THANX to Scott and Jana for making this happen. The boat is safetly at Scott's waiting for us. I know...pics or it didn't happen but you guys know the chances of me getting pics on here are slim to none and none is ahead. so I will post some pics from my phone to FB if anyone is interested. Hopefully Greg Fossett or HW can get some pics on here.

John,
Fantastic!! Great news that you found it and Patti is so understanding. You do understand we need pictures ASAP. If it needs any work, I'm sure you have prepped that mechanic of yours. Congratulations

I don't think either of the facebook adds ever discussed the engine. This is the boat in our craigslist thread a couple of us mentioned was likely a promo. Here is the last active add: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1162033250837403/
Greg nice grab! And you got a new tower as a bonus! I talked with the wife about grabbing this myself, but there is a problem with having an orange boat in Tennessee. Everyone at the ramp, gas stations, and on the lake would assume I am a Vol fan and rocky top would come out blaring on their speakers. I could not go there as an Ole MIss Rebel fan. I am glad you will have that boat in the land of Carolina / Duke blue where you can appreciate its color.

Richard,
Not my purchase. Simply posted the pictures for John. John is a Vol’s fan so it is kinda fitting he adds this to his long list of Correct Crafts owned. |

Well if your gonna come back to the family at least you did with class and style by landing a Orange Promo. All I ask of you is don't disgrace that boat and slap a big White T on the side of it. Only Convicts and UT fans wear orange! Congrats JBear. I look forward to driving your new boat!

They are one of the great classics. I spent a good part of a day driving John Murphy's a couple years ago at White Lake when we all pulled the famous wakeboarder and must have received a 100 compliments on that beautiful boat.

thanx guys for all the comments........yup I am pretty excited. Sorry Dan....but the minute I saw it and Ms Patti gave me the ok....I jumped on it. Scott Zuelzke made it all easy....doing all the leg work for me.
That boat of JMurphs is the one Bill and I used at White Lake. I am told it is a 318.......but couldn't prove it by me. I won"t be under the motor box unless I have adult supervision. Richard....thanx for the link.....Ms Patti now thinks I got a deal! you guys all know I am a big Vols fan....but this purchase has nothing to do with that........all about the Promo. Hopefully it will be running enough to have it at the River Run....... john

John,
Nice boat, It looks very familiar. I worked on buying the same or a similar boat back in July 2019 from a guy near Muscle Shoals, AL. He said it had a Chrysler 318 motor if I remember right. They sold it before I could put the deal together. Congratulations on the find. Marc
