Re-produced Correct Craft Decals

Thanks with the help on the engine questions!

Pauly, the 240-255hp engine was essentially the same base 351w longblock that was used in the majority of Correct Crafts from the early 70's through the mid 90's. The only variations between the marinization packages (Palmer, Crusader, Commander, Waukesha/PCM) were the accessory brackets and cooling system. The PCM manuals will have pretty much everything you need in them... anything else has probably been covered here on CCF!

Kinda like what I said before, there is no mention of Palmer on the engine.   Pauly's red engine being identical to mine.
So, Thermo-Electron would fall somewhere between Palmer and Crusader.

So when you go to the parts store looking for parts, they will be listed as Thermo or Crusader.

Pauly,   One good thing, that engine looks like it has not been screwed with much.

Great to understand a bit more about this boat. I heard about the fresh water pump. I hope that this one has a metal pump instead of the plastic. The boat is forsale as the result of a very well off guy involved in a nasty ponzi scheme in this area. We will really check this out throughly. My 1983 does around 47 mph, what do these possibly do with the smaller hull?

Topic: 1973
Not yet, but might by the end of March. This is the engine that we will be looking at. We know that the boat was made in March of 1973, 1 of 2 produced the day it was made, and that it is a Palmer 351, 255 horse power with 1150 hours on the original meter. Does this look like yours? I would guess that this would be a quick motor. Electronic ignition was added as an upgrade. Last time in the water was 2008. Currently being well taken care of. We will be inspecting the boat around the end of march!

Here is the engine.



Any help is alway's appreciated.

BTW-What are your thoughts on the Palmer 255 engine in a 1973 and what is the thermo-electric engine. Any idea where you may have the most stringer damage in a 1973? Thanks for the help!

On the trailer ID label Don Bostick would just put it in the typewriter and type in the info for the trailer nothing fancy. I have in stock the Correct Craft decal that was used on the rear corner in black and white. This is the decal that had the globe on it. Also have other NLA decals.

This is exactly why we have taken the time to get these warning decals made. I really respect the fact that some CCF members are trying to complete their restoration project with all the i's dotted and t's crossed.

I sure think that many would agree that this is worth the time and energy and monetary resources. This is a take it or leave it product. It all depends on how important it is to each individual Correct Craft owner. Some on this site go with the "keep it original" which is what these help accomplish!

Sometimes the removal of these actually decreases the value of the product. We have a good friend who purchased a 1989 thirteen years ago and immediately called to request all warning decals for the boat and trailer! If he would not have been able to get those at the time, he would have possibly passed on the deal. He is a solid skier, barefooter, but also wanted a complete package for his boat, which ment having those decals.

To "mod" or not to "mod"..... that is the question!

It is a good summary of the two sites..............

Just completed as of 2/12/2010 huge assortment of warning decals for your Correct Craft trailer and boat! All but one at $7.00 each, the large 1990's yellow and red goes for $10.00 each! Page one has payment and shipping instructions!
