I'm sorry Steve and Adam, but I just don't see the possibility or humor here. I think Critter is much more on tract here, in that the chances are greater that the 409 would end up in the good ol' company forklift before I'd pull a HM (Holman Moody, aka He-Man) in favor of a Bowtie.

Very Nice!!!!!

The signiture on the boat is perfectly smooth. How did they inlay the gel coat?

Bruce, You'll see that in the above photo, Ralph's signature has been routed out with a die grinder (Dremel tool) and burr. Then a note for it to be filled with white gel. Sanded smooth and buffed out.

Now that you've explained it... I'd been wondering how they'd done that. What a beautiful job.

The signature was an extra special touch...way cool!

Thanks Keith
What a documented history this boat will have. Super slide show.

To make one of these images your desktop, follow the appropriate link then right-click on the image and select 'Set as Background'.

Tim, even closer.

Nevermind, already answered on a previous page.

I guess that's my responsibility now and I haven't done a good job thus far. She's been proudly on display at the BBC since her trip down to Lake Norman, Mooresville/Charlotte, NC. For those not familiar with it, the BBC is the "Boys Boat Club" as someone jokingly named it, and is just a warehouse where a number of buddies store and work on boats, 90% of which are vintage Correct Crafts. We've covered the walls with CC banners and beer girl posters and have a beer stock that typically rivals An-Busch. I'll post some new picts since we had to change locations several months ago.

I am sure that there are those on the website that can come up with interesting words that would work with "BBC"

Even the mention of "members" is getting The Godfather aroused. He'd fit right in at the BBC.

Man, I just love the story of this boat..
And everytime I veiw the photo's of the build makes me very happy
to be part of it....


Everyone enjoy this thread, because it's one of a kind..


The Godfather

I saw the picture of this boat but I never clicked on the thread till today ?           Soo where is the boat now?

It's probably about time to update the story.
