It would give a good indication of what it is.

I think youre all over it Bruce- I agree. Like Larry suggested, Id pull that cushion off and see if there is an emblem on the dash... might get lucky! Otherwise the id tag on the stringer might be the only way to know for sure.

Looks like an original #2 trailer, too. Nice find!

No name given: JamesGang,
The wings (plexi), I have these being cut by a buddy on a laser cutter. I'm hoping he'll have these done in the next week or so. I had 10 sets cut, and have about 7 sets promised out. So, I'll have 3 more sets to find homes for. Fill your info out in your profile, so people can e-mail you or get you an avatar pic up.

The Plexi-Glass is cut and polished guys!! Who was needing a set of the plexi??

Also JamesGang-- have we found a Hull ID # yet? Move that coushin on the port side at the dash and take a pic. Let's see if a dash badge was there!

Sorry for the delay on posting fellas. Found a metal tag nailed to a stringer that's stamped AM1432. Does this mean I'm a proud owner of an American Skier? Pretty cool.   I removed the dashpad and found only the holes where the metal emblem used to be. Darn. I wish had that emblem. Any advice on obtaining one? Also the light cover on my hull light is missing. Anyone have a line on those? So much to learn as begin to bring her back to life.

Yep, the AM should refer to American Skier.

Mine is titled as a 64 but was built in early 63... it has an AM177 tag.

the American Skier dash emblem is next to impossible to find.... most likely would have to come from a parts boat. When you say hull light lense, bow or stern?

Here is what you are looking for. It's all that's left of mine. My boat was built in 62, AM106. Welcome to the club.

Thanks for the posts. The lens or cover I'm needing is for the bow. I think one of the pics I posted shows the light minus the lens. The rear one's in good shape.

I realize an old thread. Do you have any of these left? I have the template that I got with the 1965 American Skier I just bought, but if you have some that need a home...

Also, I have the wing frames, but not the brackets that go onto the wing windows. Is there a template to get for the glass clamp (not sure of right term) that holds the window and attaches to the frame pins?


Thanks,

Greg

Welcome Greg seen your post on facebook,nice looking boat. Whats the hull number? I used to have AM361 before I came across the Mustang. As to Marty and his vents it might be best to email him-don't know how often he gets on here now days

Thanks! Was so excited I forgot to check the hull number. LOL I got the title and was excited to get that. The HIN on the title doesn't look like that. It's at my father in law's in his barn for th winter. I may ask him to check the plate. It's on the back right of the hull isn't it?

That old of Correct Craft had an aluminum tag held on with 2 roofing nails on the port side stringer in front of the rear motor mount. The ones molded into the rear of the hull didn't happen til something like '71.
You will have a great time with it,a 289 will push it along nicely

Going to do some work on the boat at my father in laws and plan on getting pics of all the important numbers including hull ID, engine, etc. Will post and add to my diary once I have it.
