Hi Tique, i don't see you're name. Excuses. Thanks for you're reply. It is very very helpfull.
Bree is about 85 km from my place. I like to meet Kristof and his boat. Is it possible to arrange? He can call me mobile 0653343733. If i have his number i will call him. I think its a problem to find a good CC in Holland. Even bigger problem is to find a good '2001'. Coming sunday i visit a quy with a American Skier 1978. Boat looks very fresh on the internet. But he ask to much money for it. It is not a '2001'. There is no other (good and old) CC for sale in Holland on the moment. Looking on sites for boatsales there are old CC's for sale in Berlin, Austria etc... Perhaps it is a solution to import one from the States.... I go for a '2001' |

Hans....boobie....
Sorry, had to do it. Welcome to the site. This site, along with Kristof and Trip, should be a great help in your search. I'm partial to the Barefoot, but they are harder to find. Good Luck, and welcome aboard. |

Dag Hans! Another dutchie here, living somewhere else though. Like said before; if you want an older CC for wakeboarding, get a 2001. It has a better wakeboard-wake than the Barefoots. And (normally) doesn't have the 454 engine that uses more gas (though the 454 sounds even better... :).
We use a 2001 for our wakeboardschool and we love it. Problem might be to find a good one in Holland. Whenever I see one for sale in NL it's totally screwed up. If you're interested in a 2001, check out www.the2001.com and read it front to back and back again. Do your homework before buying one. Good luck! |

Actually I can say the 2001 hull makes an impressive wake with out ballast, I was able to ride behind Kristof`s boat(first time on a 2001 hull for me), while taking vacations in europe (the belgium detour) and I was able to land all my usual tricks I through with my 1992 with 1800 and plus ballast!!! To bad kristof wasn´t there to see my performance!!! |

Hans,
Welcome to CCFan!! Good to see someone from Europe on here. As the guys here said very well, you're always welcome to contact me for a ride on my '89 SN 2001. It truly is a great boat. All the guys that wakeboarded behind her said they really like it and some of them are quite experienced. You can still find some nice ones over here too and I will gladly help you out finding one. Thanks to this great group of guys, I learned quite a lot about these great boats and also what to look for when buying one. You can always mail me or give me a call: +32476/25.94.77 |

First of all welcome Hans to best bunch of boat buddies you will ever find. Like all above this thread have said you'll have to do allot of homework on your own and dig through the diaries on models available to you in your part of the world.
The Godfather(Dave) is little shy at admitting it but he is our "contact" with Correct Craft as he works at the factory. He has worked wonders for some of us fellow CCFans, and has even gone straight to the source sometimes by asking Mr. Ralph Meloon himself if he didn't know the answer. Don't hesitate to ask us anything and we will do our best to answer your questions. It may take a while for a response as those who know the answer are sometimes slow to do so but there are some (including myself) lurk here all day and an answer will be posted in minutes. Glad you found us. Welcome! |

I have been asked before about the 2001 models that were made. But not the numbers for the SN or BFN. But I think both numbers were high when I did research before. You will find all the different models and years on this site to review. I hope this will help you. And just like everyone said before: any model of an Correct Craft is good... Dave |

I wish you luck on your search! It probably would be hard to find a BFN overseas, but not a mistake! The wake is not the same as a pupose-built boat, but it isn't bad either.
I've heard rumors about production #'s for my '88 and there is a big contrast between SN's(Ski nautique) and BFN's(Barefoot Nautique). Has that been posted before? Or maybe Dave could help? Welcome aboard! |

Hans,
Our site has lots of features that in time you will get adjusted to. I just did a member search for Kristof and got his direct email. Here's the link: kristof To get to a member email link, you go to the "member" list, pull up his listing and then go to "email" Yes, the problem is you do need to know who the nember is!!!! Now, if you get in touch with him, don't let him send you any pictures of him in his bath tub!! We've seen them and aren't impressed. Now, his wife is a different story!!!!!!! - !!!!! too bad she's too busy making sandwiches at the shop she has!! BTW, You found CCfan and we welcome you!! I'm very happy you found us!! |

Hans,
Welcome. No there are no other sites that will be of more help to you than this one. You can get a good sense of models/horsepower in the diaries section (do a search in the diaries, type in year range and model (most likely "ski nautique") and you can see the various offerings) Also look at the old brochures in the "refrence" section. If you want an older (you didnt say how old) boat good for wakeboarding, you might want to look at the 1982 to 1989 ski nautiques, all referred to as the "2001" model. Our good friend Kristof has one just down the road from you in Bree Belgium (what's that...about 200 km?) I'm sure he would be happy to give you a ride to check it out. If you go for a 2001, you will most likely end up with a ford 351 with 240 HP, plenty for your purposes. Barefoot Nautiques are a bit scarce and I dont believe people think the deep-V hull of the barefoots is as good for wakeboard wakes as the 2001, but I cant say for sure. Good luck with your search. I'm sure others will join in with opinions for you. If you have any other specific questions, post them. |

Hello,
I live in Holland. Kids lie to wakeboard. So i must buy ski-boat. It will be a (older) CC. Great looks. A Barefoot probely. If i can find one. There are not many CC for sale on this site of the globe! On search for information about CC i bumped into the CC-fan site. There are a lot of types/models. And they are not all the same within the same model. different motor/HP etc... I saw some history on the site of CC itself. But not much info. Is there a site with an overview of CC models/HP? Groet, Hans |
