Hello all! I've been lurking here for a while now and finally picked up my first Correct Craft a few weeks ago. I'm not new to the boating scene, but new to Correct Crafts. Specs are: 1975 Ski Nautique, Ford 351, 1:1 Velvet Drive. Here are a few pics of the new toy:
I Replaced the trailer with an aluminum I-beam trailer as it will see salt water every now and then. If anyone is interested I have the original 1975 trailer in good shape for sale.

Thanks

- Brad

Nice, and welcome aboard. I wonder if the composite swim deck is significant...

Congrats and welcome! Looks very nice and clean. I hope it's running as good as it looks, will make for a fun summer.

Is there any tongue weight on that trailer, the wheels look pretty far forward, a lot of weight on those extended bunks!

Thanks for all the compliments!

The swim deck is solid- 1" thick wood reinforced and glassed over. A friend who's close to 300 lbs has been on it with no problem.

The trailer bunks are also pretty stout(4x8 treated beams with heavy duty extended brackets to clear the skegs) its got between 150-200lbs tongue weight and tows great.

I plan to put a red stripe down the sides this winter to match the interior.
