Hey all. It is with some regret that I have decided I do not have the time, nor motivation to complete my 1967 Ski Nautique restoration. I already have two boats that I cannot get enough use out of. The boat is where I left off two years ago. Stringers are done except for crossmembers. Rudder port, and exhaust ports also replaced. The boat is basically complete, but disassembled. The hull needs a good sanding and polishing. Still needs a floor and spray rails. Structurally, she is a beast. But she needs some love. Complete boat includes: windshield, side logos, dash logo, steering wheel, step pads and frames, running 318 & trans, strut, shifter, skeg, prop, complete interior for a template, mediocre #2 trailer, and everything else I got with it minus the flag pole. The interior is really for a pattern. The shaft needs replacing, and the gas tank needs work. The engine ran when I took her out in Aug 2009. Needs a tuneup for sure. Also I will include about 3.5-4 gallons of West 105/205 epoxy, big roll of biax, and some other misc items that should be enough to complete the project. I have a 12' 1x6 fir board for the crossmembers. I have put well over 100 hours into her, and at around $2000 in materials. I paid $800 for the boat originally. I am looking for a fair price from someone who will bring the project to completion and get her back on the water. I am not parting this boat out, so please do not ask. Here is the original link for the restoration/modification thread when I was working on her. http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15296&title=the-long-road-ahead-67-nautique-resto-mod" rel="nofollow - 1967 RestoMod In addition, but completely separate, I have an extremely nice 340 block that has been inspected, magnafluxed, bored, decked, and everything for a racing engine. I have the spec sheet from the machine work, and every cylinder was measured in 12 places for wall thickness. I had a very nice crank ground reverse that is fit for the block. I have an Edelbrock Performer intake, a hot cam (from Reid), timing chain and gears, and more. I also have 100% of the rest of the marine parts for it. The exhaust manifolds need work or replacement, same with the carb. Everything else is in good order and worked when removed from my scavenger 318. This is a very expensive block after the work I have had done to it, and is marketable in the Mopar racing circle, but would love to see someone put this in this boat. Again, fair offer is what I am looking for, but the machine work alone was $2k. It was performed by Chuck Lofgren at Lofgren Racing in Cedars, MN. Pretty much THE guy around here. I would sell the parts after I sell the block if it comes to that. I can be reached at nauteeks@tds.net or mobile at sixonetwo-803-112nine Mike ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

Wow, bummer to hear you wont be completing the project, Mike. You were going strong there for a while! I hear you how sometimes there just isnt enough time, though. Still havent touched my '67. I can think of a guy who loves blue project boats and another guy who could make good use of a hot 340! I'll spread the word. ------------- |

Yeah, I have been struggling with the idea for a while. I would love to finish it, but then what... A total of 11 hours on the SAN last year, and about 90 minutes on the Mustang. I am tied with last year on the Pony and almost there on the SAN this year. ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

I own it for about $2800. $800 for the boat, and $2k in materials for the work I have completed to date. I would like to get somewhere in that neighborhood as I think it is fair considering the work that has been completed to date. I really would like it gone by the time the snow flies. ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

Hey Peter, Indeed, having done two stringer jobs, I would pay that to have one done right. I wish you were looking for a project too. Pete, Yeah, just been busy doing other stuff... Been traveling a lot to see music this summer. Father in law got sick and have been to see him in Michigan a few times. Did not get much lake time again this year. Not much bike time either... Our farm is starting to kick our asses (hay issues included) with the kids being grown up and having jobs, college, significant others... Of course, they aren't exactly moving out either... Way too much stuff to do, and not enough time to do it in. I did mean to ping you and tell you we saw a really cool little Dunphy being towed near Chicago this summer on one of our passes through there. Made me think you you and your X55 you brought to Green Lake a couple years ago. Mike ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

a couple of quick things 1 Mike can you bump/find the pics /thread of the boat from when you bought it and had it out on the water ? 2 in that search i happened onto the first interesting c/list finds. I noticed rain dog listed a found 68 wildcat tangerine bottom white top, although its delisted of course/2007. what a cool combo that must have been. 3. where has rain dog gone? ------------- former skylark owner now a formula but I cant let this place go |

Mike, I told my fiance Kay that we needed to adopt a Nautique. I showed her this thread and she still remembers this boat sitting in your shed from a few years back when we stopped by with Derek for an afternoon of surfing. I think you had just picked it up at the time. None the less, it made a lasting impression (along with the Mustang and Python)!  If it wasn't for us living in a town home and our upcoming wedding, i'd be pulling it home! Good luck with the sale. I hope that you find a good home for it! Adam ------------- 1992 Nautique Excel |

I am with you. If this was 5 years ago, I would have been all over this thing. I will post some pics when I move it to a different building in the next couple weeks. Will post a couple pics of the future motor as well. ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

I'm surprised John B hasn't moved on this. If i had a month off in the summer I'd jump on this myself. Mike, What is your 1968 Mustang? You have any pictures of it? Also if someone were to redo this boat, I figure they'd wetsand the hull, which would remove the original "Ski Nautique" Logo....ell I assume that's original? Correct? Would you just paint it back on? or would you spray a white gelcoat? ------------- Proud 1968 mustang owner and now http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6454&sort=&pagenum1" rel="nofollow - 1970 Mustang |

Incorrect... logo is the 74-79 style. No big logos prior to 72, with the exception of the cursive lettering on the '71 promos. Mike has a thread detailing the work he did on his Mustang... try a search. ------------- |

I thought so, so removing that logo wouldn't be a big deal....... Thx and yes I'll do a search. ------------- Proud 1968 mustang owner and now http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6454&sort=&pagenum1" rel="nofollow - 1970 Mustang |

I'm just guessing Peter but if it is really a 68 and if the 68 brochure is right, there are only 2 blues, Sopwith which is dark and the Meridan which is light blue and what mine is. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Peter I've always wondered the same thing. It almost looks like a custom color........ It's definitely not the same color as Gary, Mike's and mine's Mustangs. ------------- Proud 1968 mustang owner and now http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6454&sort=&pagenum1" rel="nofollow - 1970 Mustang |

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. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

Items should last till your 70??? you better finish more than that in 30 years I agree with you could it be because it's in Minnesota? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

Steve, I'd love to but there's a big hole right next to my house and I need to start building that before I take on another boat project! Plus, when the house is done I'll actually have a garage so I can work on the boats from home! ------------- |

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. ------------- https://tinyurl.com/y6t5e3bu" rel="nofollow - 04 Air206 http://tinyurl.com/9urzgls" rel="nofollow - 91 Barefoot 78 SkiTiq |

I am heading to Chicago with an empty hitch... but Im not returning with one. Mike's boat is a great deal for someone who wants a project boat but doesnt want to do stringers. The math certainly works when you look at it that way. For someone cross shopping other project boats though, Mike is competing against boats priced much lower. Fair or not, thats why it hasnt moved quickly. All of you guys saying "I cant believe it hasnt sold" should either put up or shut up! Personally, I hope either another CCFan scoops it up because there is a lot of value in whats there... or Mike decides to forego selling it and finishes it himself. I sure would like to see it finished- it will be a sweet boat! |

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. ------------- Craig 67 SN 73 SN http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6103" rel="nofollow - 99 Sport 85SN |
