I know this has been asked countless times, but does anyone know where I can go on the web to get these... Thanks

Here is an option
full set on ebay

I got a set last spring. Happy with result.

Adam,

I support what Pete is saying. I can not vouch if the full set is historically accurate or exactly the right size, just put it up as an option for you. In saying I was happy with them, I was saying that they came as represented and went on well and look ok and seemed to match the old ones (which I know were not original because the boat had been painted)

Not a great picture of them, but best I've got right now. But you get the idea of scale.

Pete,

I actually had a few minutes of heartburn when I redid mine. As I said, the boat had been painted by a PO. When I pulled the old faded stickers off, quite a bit of paint came with them to expose gray primer underneath. I don't know, maybe he put the stickers on when the paint was still wet. I was sick when it happened as it extended beyond the edge of the stickers. Also the old stickers had a clear border and the new ones don't and the new ones were the size of the colored section only of the old ones. My boat is not a show piece by any means but I was hoping on a reasonable fix. I lucked out with a one in a million shot; some off the shelf spray paint was a virtually exact match.
Like I said, my boat is not a show piece, but you have to get awfully darn close to see the fix.

Thar she be!!!

Yeah, 73 brochure shows no decals at all, appears to be a single stripe all the way around, that's it if I want to stay original I guess!!!

Here's my favorite picture of her. A beautiful day on the lake

Adam, The Nibral (nickel, brass, aluminum) prop is very repairable. Find a prop repair shop in your area if you can but avoid taking it to a marina. They will simply send it to the prop shop and then tack on a "handling" charge. The damage to your prop will affect performance but because it is minimal the worst will be vibration and some loss in speed. I'm not exactly sure of current costs because I haven't needed a repair in years. I do seem to remember in another thread someone mentioning $150 to $175 but I may be wrong. You will need a prop or gear puller to get it off it's taper.

The CC script that you posted, is that out of the Zip file in our ref section? You can take the file to a vinyl sign shop and they can reproduce it for you. There are lots of "quick" sign shops around but they have a tendency to be cheap and use cheap vinyl that doesn't have the life (UV protection) so be sure to ask. Your best bet is to have it made in 3M Scotchcal.

I can cut the script out for you. I would go with Oracal 851 vinyl, black has 10 year and color has 8 year. Or go with Avery A9, 9 year on all colors.

Adam, Tim is correct that I did drop the ball!! I'm very much noted as the keep it original person here , so I'd say buff it up and don't put the CC script on it!

TRBenj wrote: Id say add the metal (or chromed plastic) Correct Craft script emblems- those would have been original. Maybe add a water line stripe, as the boat probably had one originally. Pat's Skier looks great:

Tim, I think they would be the white plastic with black letters? Are you testing me???
Adam, What year is it? A 72?

Pete: Thanks for all your help. She's a 1973, I posted the picture from the 73 Brochure above, And I, too was a little surprised you weren't telling me to keep it original based on other postings I've read!!!

Tim: I can't tell from the brochure picture, are you saying that it's not vinyl on the side, that in fact it's a plastic emblem?!?
Where the heck am I going to find one of those?!? I already replaced the missing step pads, but I couldn't find white ones, so I got black.

Another question if you don't mind...I'm looking to get a spare tire for the trailer, do I have to get a full sized one or can I go with a smaller one as long as the lug pattern is correct? The reason I ask is because I'm on a shoestring budget and a full size is $60.00+ and I can get a smaller one that fits for $25.
Thanks again,
Adam

The full size spare on a trailer is a must.

Pete I was a little suprised myself when you were not the first person to tell Adam to keep it original. I too like the boat the way it is, looks sweet. Put the water stripe on it and be done.
