Come on Billy, let's hear about this boat. It's a rare Correct Craft runabout. It looks pretty original, but appears to have been restored. It looks turn key. I'm sure theres a lot more to add.

I never thought the day would come that something this nice would fall in my lap. Most all the resto work is done , just a matter of doing the finishing touches.
I do not have to be as anal with this one as I was with The Boat Nurse's '64, hope to find some "middle ground". Have spoken to Pete today and she is beyond a doubt a "DART".Power is a Grey Marine Phantom-Six 112.Build date 7/49 it was the 135th boat built that year in Titusville Fl. Very few were built and only 2 versions were available . Standard and deluxe. Mine is the standard w/ the optional 112 hp engine.The deluxe was a double planked version of the same boat . Steve will post some more pics later.Not a major resto but there is a lot of work to do between now and Green Lake. Needless to say the fast boat will stay here and the Dart will make a run North. Sure is a good feeling to own my own boat..................Billy |

Looking good there Billy. You said that you would be taking a New boat home with you but you said nothing about it being this Old.
Congratulations on the find. |

Now that's a really neat boat. Has to be pretty rare. Also probably the oldest CC owned by a regular here on CCFan. I look forward to seeing it at Green Lake. BKH
