This is a bummer. Is there a reason this can't be done?

Also the thread is "Side graphics"...however in the example it clearly shows transom graphics as well. So for instance on an 85' would a package include the side "Ski Nautique", "2001", and the "Correct Craft Competition Ski Boat"?

Seriously? Come on Chris, theyre not even close. 80-81 graphics are all capital letters!

The lettering on Pete's Tique has been redone in vinyl.

The graphics I put together for the 80-81 don't include the stripes. I had them ready but decided to paint instead. Hopefully Al can put that together for others, seems there's quite a few restoring those years right now. $550 for a full set is cheap considering the time that goes into setting it up for cutting.

Keith, Keep up all the great work. This is a huge contribution to all of us Correct Craft Fans !! I hope you or someone else keeps reproducing hard to find items to help keep many of our boats as original as possible.
Thank You,

Wow! What a great addition to the site and excellent resource for those who want to restore their boats back to original condition.

Thanks Keith!

PS- Are there any plans to continue development of the graphics to include the 'drop shadows' for the 85-87s?

Joe,
I have edited my original post to correct my mistake. According to Al, for the 1982-1984 Ski Nautique people typically repaint the stripes solid along the entire side of the boat and then apply a white decal over them. He assured me the paint does not show through the white decal.

I also updated the 85-87 Ski and Barefoot Nautiques listings to note that those graphic packages, unfortunately, do not include the drop shadow.

Keith,
     Your off on the years for painted graphics as they were painted (except for the pinstripes, and 2001 decal) up until at least 1984. So what exactly do you have available for the 82-84, all the stripes with the Ski Nautique cut out and in the stock tri color pattern? If so I got some serious wet sanding to do .. .

I could use a set of them but $550.00 is a little steep.

4/2/2019 Update: NO LONGER AVAILALBE. I'm leaving this post for history only. We do not have a resource for these side graphics.

************************************************************************************************

Through a well respected icon in the industry, I was introduced to Al Thomas who, after working in the industry for decades, has meticulously recreated side graphic and stern decals for the follow Correct Craft models and years (Note: up until 1984 these side graphics were painted on originally):



1975 - 1979 Ski Tique

1974 - 1979 Ski Nautique -- without 1/8th pinstripe

1974 - 1979 Ski Nautique -- with 1/8th pinstripe

1982 - 1984 Ski Nautique (white decal to be applied over re-painted stripes)

1985 - 1987 Ski Nautique (no drop shadow)

1986 - 1987 Barefoot Nautique (no drop shadow)



Through CCF, we are now offering these graphics for purchase. The price is $550/graphic set plus shipping (with a percentage going towards support of CCF). They are available in virtually any color (including the original colors). Turnaround time is 3-4 business days from order to ship.



I will be adding these side graphics as products in the CCF store shortly. In the mean time, if you are interested please email me at Keith@CorrectCraftFan.com.



Below is a sample graphics package, how it would look when it arrived to you.

I am very excited to be offering these side graphics through CCF. Making it easier to restore these boats back to their original glory is always the objective.



Thank you as always for your support of CorrectCraftFan.com.
