While digging through old pics looking for the Martinique, I came across these. I'm not sure whose boat this was, as I don't remember ever seeing it, but I figured you guys would enjoy trying to figure it out. In the original pics I have you can somewhat make out what it says on the side. I googled it, and I think I know what it is, but I'll let you guys guess for a couple days. We have to give BKH a shot when he gets back.
I have one more shot, but you can see the make. I'll post that later. Rob ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=7744" rel="nofollow - 2006 Ski 206 http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1123" rel="nofollow - 97 SNOB |

It certainly looks like an Elite Craft. I have never seen one like that before. The Elite Crafts are Fibergla$$ boats, but most are made to look like cla$$ic Mahogony boats from the 50s. There is one in our community. This boat has the look of Mahogony inlays, but shows more white fibergla$$ than the ECs I've seen. Nice find on the photo. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

I noticed it said that on the dash after I posted it. Here's one more pic. I found a whole bunch (20 or so) of pics of that boat. I don't remember ever seeing it before. I've never heard of an "Elite Craft", but it's definitely sharp.

| It was made in Forest city FL in the mid 80s.I think it was one of the first boats that was made of all fibergla$$ (no wood) it was vary heavy and slow. It was a high doller boat$$$$$ |

Is the wood on the sides and bow real or simulated? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=972&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1976&yrend=1980" rel="nofollow - 1978 Nautique FBook - www.facebook.com/charliedontsurfct |

I like how the transom is vent, and rail free. Nice access to the platform. Clean..

Exactly... Gives some ideas on a resto-mod job for my 76' SN. The damn boat has both a stair rail and rope guide over the top, two vents, light socket and gas filler.. I about kill myself jumping over all that crap... It would be nice to just sit back on there... Moj' |

| my buddy has a 76 he took the rope bar off his, they do look cool with all that crap on there, thats old school style... |

True, I think the rope bar and stair are "toast" though... |
