Show Your Pride-Show US Your HORNS

What a good lookin boat, why would you disturb those lines. Horns are cool, both Karen,s 1964 has a set of S/S trumpets, but these were an option then.The 1949 Dart does not have horns, maybe one day I will find a set of period correct 6 volt bugles to mount on her.
Again what a beautiful boat,just dont care for the plastic horns.....Boat dr

I was asking the same thing.

Cuz he had so many posts,he lapped us

If you look at my qualifications, newbie still sounds good.I have kids older than a lot of the members here. I have 2 CorrectCrafts,one is older than our our eldest member and the newest is 45 years old.
Yea I like newbie............

Great to hear from the Boat Doctor,
I really enjoyed meeting you and seeing your 1949 Dart at Green Lake! What a great boat and fun to see a living piece of Correct Craft history! Chrome horns would look awesome!

We have 8 Correct Crafts on our 100 acre lake, but one thing seperates the men from the boys! Mine is the only one that show's it's horns! Not sure if that put me in the men or the boy category?
   
I had the same concern as you have! Why did They add these. I asked (Jerry) that question about ordering the (Twins) on the deck! He said that Mid-West ordered the boat that way, but I also noticed that the cost for them was $64.50 dealer cost or $86.00 at consumer cost! I guess that if Jerry was willing to spend that much money on his horns, the least I can do is display them with pride! Here is one more close up!


Here is a shot of the 1949 Dart at Green lake taken by us! Horns would look great!


Here is Jerry - Spring of 2009!


Here is the 1984 on the road - Spring of 2009!

I need to get this in the diary section!

Don, nothing but the original stuff on this boat! By the way, I was the first to ski behind it this summer at only 560 hours! Jerry got a neck injury after the 1983 national championships in trick skiing! Doctor's told him that if he wanted to live a normal life, he would need to stop skiing! The boat was already on order and deposit already sent to mwcc! He kept the boat, used it for sight seeing on Prior Lake, MN all these years. His wish was that the boat would go to someone who truely appreciates these boats and would use it for what it was built for, skiing!

Now let's see some more horns, or am I the only one comfortable about showing these things on this site? Get the chrome out!

Here are Bills (82) and Jacobs (73)from our river gathering this year.

Usernames "boat dr" and "boat doctor" were both formed on the same day. Billy, if you forget this password maybe "Boat Nurse" will lend you hers!

Yes, we use to ski the course! Only possible time was early in the morning because of boat traffic! I believe that was Steve's ski school who is friends with Jerry or may be Roger Wahls and Jim Peterson's (both heavy MasterCraft people). Over the years, Jerry owned 9 Ski Nautiques over many years! When I went to his ski school he had a 1977 red and a 1977 blue and a basement full of trophies. My impression was that this guy had it all!!! He missed third place at a nationals tournament by 20 points to Dr.J.D.Morgan! It made my day when he called me about his 1984 boat, but was shocked about no skiers had yet skied behind it.
I have been up at Medicine Lake with the Zman. I believe that area is called the North... something which is in between weeds or lilly pads on both sides, but goes a long distance. People on the lake seem to cooperate very well in using that calm area of the lake. My last trick tournament was in Crystal Minnesota in 1990. I was able to take home a third place medal. Afterwards I started learning how to show ski from my good friend Skierbrant! Good skiers need dependable boats with dependable speeds! The throttle on this 1984 is very smooth, as good as Pauly-Banana's 1983 for holding slower speeds. Good Speed control for guys like Jerry and Pauly-Banana make all the difference in the world when pulling skiers that are trying to accomplish something out on the water.

Thanks for the questions and keep the Horn pictures going!

You say "If you look at my qualifications, newbie still sounds good.I have kids older than a lot of the members here. I have 2 CorrectCrafts,one is older than our our eldest member and the newest is 45 years old.
Yea I like newbie............". Wrong, I was 11 when your 1949 Dart was built.

Brant, I agree totally! By the way, I have three of those stickers in my collection of cool Correct Craft stuff! I will send you one!

I'd like to find some chromies for my '82.

Is Doc still a muscle man. I remember seeing him when I was a kid. He was a big motor scooter!!

Yes he is......very strong and muscular. Would not wanna tangle with him even at his age. Still has his practice going but I think he is gonna retire soon. Very cool guy to know.

Eric bought his 1986 SN with horns and deck rails, he took them off though. Anyone looking for horns might try asking him.
