I had been searching on and off for the last 6 years for a Correct Craft that would fit into a 20:3" garage. The last 3 years I had made the decision that I was going to have to restore a older boat to get something in that size, always knowing that the 176's were out there but hard to come by and typically out of my price range.
I stumbled on this boat by chance, description was vague and 3 pics. Rolled the dice and called the owner. To my disbelief is was my Holy Grail boat, correct length, correct style, fiberglass stingers, 1pc front windshield. The owner said it was in good shape with low hours, it was...
352.3 hours
Documented service records
Perfect interior
Perfect exterior
New prop, new shaft, new strut, engine alignment at 350.9
I couldn't pass on the boat and brought it home instantly. Trailer bearings crapped out 20 miles from there.
One trip on the water in the bag, girlfriend finally understands my passion and agrees this has been the best purchase ever.
