You need to make sure to select the reunion location. Do that and try again.

Thanks,
Keith

Hey Keith,

I just tried to register and got, "Page cannot be displayed"

Am I too late?

Joe- I'm definitely interested in that Flite Pipe.

Keith- I'd like to look at that bow light you have- the plastic cover on mine is broken.

Just got the trailer back yesterday, all painted up. Will be putting the new carpet on tonight and getting the boat cleaned up this week. Keith- if you wanna come by for a ski, tomorrow morning may be the last day this week, since we're pullin her out for the reunion.

Roy,

Great story...and you've got to be proud of Keith's little web site here. I too, had the pleasure of meeting Ken this past week on his home lake in Natick (the one with the little tunnel you can barely squeeze a boat through...no 210s with towers there). Fortunately we had pretty decent conditions (well, it was a thursday night) and we both got in some good runs.

Anyway, I was saying to Ken after looking at all the great pictures from Green Lake, that I wondered if Keith had any idea when he started this, that in just a couple of years CC owners from Massachusetts to California and many points in between would be converging on a small lake in Wisconson, sharing their tales of CC ownership. Quite a story.

I was supposed to make the Milton trip, but a family schedule conflict has arisen. You all have a great time...I'll be thinking of you.

It was August 1969. My wife and I had just returned from a 14,000 mile trip across America. We visited 34 states, six theme parks, and visited more than a dozen Federal parks and monuments.

But it was time to ski. My dad�s boat wasn�t much so I took a ride to Ray�s Marine in NH to see if I could afford a used boat for skiing. We talked and Ray was willing to take my camping trailer (with 14,000 miles on it) in trade for a 1967 Correct Craft Skier. It had a car engine, a Buick V-6, a gas pedal, and an �on the column� shifter. I was psyched!!!

I was so excited we had it in the water in two hours and my wife took me skiing. At the time I jump started with one foot in the ski at water level and I stood in about a foot of water. I usually took three coils and yelled, �Hit it�. She did and when the rope was tight I was airborne. I mean I when up about ten feet and crashed down head first into the water. I suggested we try a deep water slower start and got up, and then let go because I had a concussion and almost passed out. I had to wait a week before I finally realized the great ride the boat was able to give. I was hooked. I traded it some years later for a 1974 Skier that had a modern: steering wheel on right, hand throttle, and the shift was part of the throttle mechanism.

By then my family was growing. My second son was born before I purchased my second Skier. My second son would not ski behind the Correct Craft and cried when we suggested it (The sound scared him). We taught him behind a 12 foot aluminum boat with a 6 hp Johnson. As time went on I sold the boat for a family boat safe for kids to walk around and one that Keith would ski behind.

Now my little boy has grown into a man and started a web site called Correctcraftfan.com. I found my third skier, a 1979 Ski Tique on Keith�s Web site and today continue to enjoy the quality and pride of being a Correct Craft owner.

Keith invited me to the reunion in Wisconsin last month. Words are hard to find that can begin to express the joy and pride I felt to see and visit with such great people united by a young man�s labor to share the enjoyment and experience of being a Correct Craft owner. We heard and told great stories that boat owners really can appreciate. Thanks for the memories.

Correctcraftfan.com is a generous gift to those of us who enjoy and work on our boats. Keith, �You did good.� As a member of Correctcraftfan.com I want to thank you for a great experience at the reunion and your continued service to Correct Craft owners and as your father I am PROUD.

I encourage any of you who can get to Rochester, NH August 5 -6 to join us for the 1st Annual New England Owners Reunion. If you are not an owner you will see first hand the pride these owners have for their boats.

    Ken, I think I might be out earlier on the water as we are going to start work real early to try and beat the heat. I might make it there in the middle of the afternoon. Sunday is a work day also this week as we are finishing up a huge job and all of us are working 7 days.
    BTW, about 150 ft before the launch there is "Lake Side Sport and Marine" sign on the left you can use as reference as the launch sign is kinda blocked by trees and you might drive right by it.

                                 Jeff...

    Ken, take route 4 from Dover into Sanford, then take a left at the intersection of route 109, keep truckin straight down 109 (about 8-9 miles) until you see "Teds Fried Clams" on your right. The launch is 1/4 mile after on the left.
     I will be working Saturday, but will be back around 6. I dont know how long you will be around, but it doesnt get dark till 8:30!

                                 Jeff....

Looks like it's off of Emery Mills Road, correct?

Ken

Scott,

Stoughton isn't that far away. I'd like to get as much skiiing and boarding done from now until October. I will keep an open invitation to anyone who wants to go. Scott, hope to hook up soon.

Ken

****Ski Partner or Driver Wanted****

Larry and I are going to start skiing together in the Natick, MA area after work. We're looking for a third or fourth person to come along. I will provide the boat and gas, I just need more people. Even if somebody drives and doesn't ski, that's fine too. Please let me know!

Ken

    Anyone have any jumpers they might want to unload???

                                  Jeff....

Has anyone ever tried replacing their stock flame arrestor with one of these K&N?

For the swap meet, I'll be bringing an original carburetor of a '86, 351. Needs rebuild, but the price will be right! I also have a brand new set of spark plug wires that didn't fit my 1980, 351. I might swap those for an ice cream on Sunday.

Keith, great idea posting the inventory for our swap meet. I bet some of this stuff will be sold before we even get there!

Again, I'm looking for a cheap wooden or whatever drop ski for barefooting. It can be 80 years old for all I care. As long as it has one decent binding, the rear one can be in OK shape.

Ken
