Richard, You really should have not mentioned that 4 letter word!!  You haven't been spending enough time reading here on the site!!Pylons do come up for sale occasionally. Your 72 Martinique should take a regular height pylon but do check. I'm sure someone here will comment. Fabricating one may be a better choice and has been done. Then the only problem would be finding the ring and finger which can be a challenge. Please, if you do install the pylon, use discretion as to what's hooked up to it!!  NO TUBES.Here's just one thread on pylons. |

Oooo, and I thought "wakeboard" was a bad word! The retro fit pylon on my '60 Cavalier says "No T....! I've respected that. All of our t..... was done behind wave runners. Dont have those anymore. I'll break it to the family.
On to the important issue- skiing. Could my entire pylon be sleeved? |

Get the kids out on the water ]Have your family watch this especially the kids[/URL] By the time you make a sleeve to fit your pylon, you might as well make a new one to match what CC made. However, you could use the top ring and finger section. Making a new one will also give you a proper connection at the keel socket. Where are those pictures of the boat?  Now that you've mastered posting pictures, you don't have any excuses!!

Richard,
Nice looking Chris Cavalier.  Does it have the 283 in it? You don't see many of them around. I feel Chris was actually going after CC's market with a less expensive ply hull. I don't feel it went over very well since the typical Chris buyer wanted the classic planked hull. Also, like CC's, they were pretty much "throw away" boats since maintenance (paint & brightwork) on even a ply boat exceeded the market values. BTW, if the time ever comes, a great up grade to the 283 is to use a 350 block for a rebuild. |

Yes Peter, it does have the 283. PO had installed charcoal fleck indoor/outdoor carpet on sidewalks and floor. While not the original white vinyl, it' really looks great with the wood and white w/black piping upholstery (also not the correct red & white but looks great). PO also added two square vents (complete with holes) to the transom deck. I've replaced them with orig. clamshell type. 4 vents look better than 2! Other than that, she is pretty straight and original. Her name is Water Log, but of course everyone calls her Woody.

Spell check got me. Side walls, not sidewalks.

So that's why you didn't post a picture of the interior!!

It really does look good. As much as I love originality, she wouldn't be Woody any other way.
I have been wanting to show you her pylon set up. You can also get a better idea of the interior. Sorry about position of first pic. It was taken vertically.
