I am the third owner of this boat. I bought her from the second owner who bought it form the original owner after it had been recovered from being stolen. The second owner only had her for about a year.
When I got the boat, I removed everything and started over. The boat was buffed using two kinds of 3M rubbing compounds. I wanted to keep all original parts as much as I could, so the black rubber on the rub rail was cleaned and the rope was replaced with new. The windshield was removed taken apart sanded and painted, and the dash board received a good cleaning and engraved lettering on the dash was repainted.
Only about 65 percent of the interior is new, the rest was cleaned and dyed. The carpet on the sides was in great shape where as the floor was replaced with as close as possible to the right color. When the carpet was out some small floor repairs were made just to keep future problems from popping up. I also removed the top accent deck stripes on both sides as well as the rear stripes on the rear deck, painted the vents as close to the gel coat color to give the appearance of a solid white deck surface.
The lettering on the sides and back are original and needed very little work, the pin stripes on the sides and back were repaired by adding in smaller strips, than replacing all of it. The boat has about 860 hours on her and purrs like a kitten. This is about the 10th. Correct Craft I have owned and will not be the last. Other than a few scratches and stress cracks, she may make it another 18 years.
