I purchased this boat three years ago and it took me over two years to strip and refinish it. I had the upholstery redone and Alan embroidered Correct Craft on the seats for me. She goes 47 miles an hour and we still ski behind her. I entered in the ACBS boat show in Lake Geneva WI in September of 2009. With a little (?) help from Pete Brainard, she won the award for "Most Original." I was really surprised! I plan to bring her to the reunion at Green Lake Wisconsin in July.
