I bet it's a 67 and at one time had a foot pedal. Nice, pretty much original boat! I saw a speedometer like that for the first time in the orange Cuda we picked up in September. I put it on ebay and it didn't sell. I found out later from Phil that it was the early 60's type that went in the 1st gen Nautiques. I'm glad it didn't sell! Great find!
Edit, I see it's got the newer pylon, so maybe an early 68? |

Keith never put the 69 brochure up. Does not matter though you have a boat no newer than 68. Is the aluminum tag off the port stringer next to the engine? The serial number should start with a M followed by 4 numbers. 68 brochure is the same anyway,they just reused it. Rudder has been changed too,Lilly pad would have been on when new.

I have the '69 brochure (Mike Thrower scanned it and sent it to Keith but it hasnt been uploaded yet)... but it will be of no help to you since your boat is a '67 or '68.
That hull number you posted is the one issued by the state of Indiana... the hull number I want to see is the one that CC issued. It will be in one of 2 places- either on the USCG plate just forward of the throttle, or on an aluminum piece screwed to the top of the stringer in the engine compartment. It will read M-XXXX. |

 I saw the shifter and foot pedal even before I picked the boat up. I asked if he had a sell it now price he said he wanted to let the auction run ? hull number INZO70888029 The hull is in great shape only one crack that I could find was here  I didn't look under the carpet. For sure the engine has some mods The P O said she runs .       The piece of floor thats missing in the rear was rotted which was the start of the taking it apart to redo that was back in 2000, they bought a newer nautique so she sat. I'm trying to find out as much as I can about the history the po was going to talk to the first owner . I'm hoping he has some parts laying around? There is not a 69 Brochure in the reference ? |

Tim, you have your coffee yet this morning?  Since the dash shifter is now missing, the throttle and shifting duties are presumably now being handled by a morse control, which is pictured. Tough to say what was there originally without better evidence... I have seen both set ups (foot and hand throttle) with the dash shifter. |

Uhhhhhh Timmy.....you're younger than me and therefore should have a better eye than I. From the below picture, the throttle on this one would be on the side. You know that chrome arm with the Cueball knob on it. You're slipping buddy!  |

I know that there is a Foot Pedal on e-bay right now and I think that I saw a shifter lever. All are under a Correct Craft search. Also you are in luck because the Fram Filters are very popular with several folks on the site. They are making a comeback.
Great find. Donald |

Mid-West Correct Craft must have pushed alot of Mustangs thru those doors!
What's the plan of action Kirk? Going to get it running and see what it needs? Seems like a good one to start with. Looks to be your new ones twin Tim! |

Yucatan yellow, nice!
That's a 67-68... What's the hull number? Looks like it originally had a dash shifter- and would have either had a side mount or foot throttle. That isn't the original carb or intake- which makes me think it may have originally been a 165hp or 190hp 2bbl motor? Missing the original Interceptor logs. Do you have the fiberglass rear seat base? I can't tell if the floor pan is lurking under the carpet. Is that motorbox covered in vinyl? That's not the original #2 trailer obviously. I have never seen those rounded scoops on a boat with the later deck like this- any evidence of them being swapped out at some point? Looks to be in nice shape! |
