I KNOW THE YEAR!!!! ...... :)

..........FINALLY!!!!! YEEEEE HAWWWW !!!!

A few of you may know,about a month ago I bought the cuda that was advertised as a 1973 in the diaries. I was pretty sure that was wrong , so I questioned the owner about the year, he checked and it is titled as such..

I had checked with Correct Craft and after a month of trying to find the boat in their paperwork, today when I called we found out ,by the original serial number on the motor, that the boat was built on MARCH 18th, 1968 !! So, as some of you had guessed, Its A 68 !!!!!   Coooooool!

Steve, Great! Now you can sleep at night. Did you ever talk to Ralph? Are they going to send you a letter confirming the year?

HW, Dont know if you've ever heard the story? The first year at GL ,Pam and I were staying at the Bayview. We had been out in the 'skier and came back to the hotel mid afternoon. When we were walking back , I noticed stang's 72 promo ,with the LARGE black "Ski Nautique" writing on its side. It was parked right in the middle of the parking lot.

Gary and I had talked on the phone,but never met before. I went in the office and asked if the guy that owned the orange fishing boat could please move it, as it was in my way? I wish I had a picture of Garys initial re-action....priceless as they say..

sounds good to me! got some coool beer...
As for the live well, i'm not putting the hinges back on the engine cover...I just turn it over and use it. (btw, it also doubles as a cooler)

Your boat was born 20 days after me.
