I am pretty sure I have seen some on Craig's List. People list their Correct Crafts going 80 that is. If it is on the internet, it must be true.

I also believe that Tim's 79 Barefoot Nautique is on its way to somewhere close to 80.

Great story! Would have loved to been able to drive in a tournament back then. Sad to see airguide go out of business. Thanks for sharing.

Nice Rod,
Brings me back to the last day's of hand driving in tournaments before speed control. Airguide was having quality control problems at that time and the promo boats would have the Airguide bezels fall off along with indicator hands and face plates slop around. I would go to tournaments with a box like that Myself and Steve Meloon had gone through and inspected and culled out the problem units. along with a box of pitot's that had been modified.
Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise.

Since I only got a limited number- I am gonna hold tight. I usually end up down the road hooking fellow CCF members up with the things I track down. It's just exciting to find these- so once the novilty wears off I'm sure I'll offer some up๐Ÿ˜€

There seems to have been a few Nautique Clones lately that were really Bayliners with Air Nautique Decals added so we can't rule it out.

That is it. Also, the overlays only state Air Guide and not Correct Craft, Nautique or Bayliner.

Thanks.

I hope Steve K. (Air 206) does not see this thread. He has been in Air Guide withdraws and this could put him over the edge.

Back when I had my 1980, I was getting some real nice black decal over lays from Don Caruthers in Houston, TX. They were great and very inexpensive from this site. His screen name is not hitting my memory bank right now. I have his address if anyone wants to PM me to write him. Does anyone remember how to write a letter? I am not sure I can anymore. You would have to be able to take the speedo apart.

It is so cool to see all of them with the same stamps- just like they day they were born. I am going to sell some off to anyone who has an interest. I am asking $125 shipped. If you buy more than one- still $125. Look on places like ebay and you will see these are listed at $250+. You can use as is- or replace the dials with whatever you want.
I thought it was super cool find and wanted to share.


case of 10





born on date- 8/2/1991

His are close, but this is what came out of my 87 BFN.


It says airguide instrument company on the bottom instead of Airguide Chicago U.S.A., and the Jeweled Contralog Speedometer font is different. I sent Zach a higher resolution image of the face last year (or maybe the year before) to see if a decal could be made of it, but nothing ever came of it.
