Hi, my name is Tim and I'm addicted to Correct Crafts.
It started in October of 2005 when I bought my first CC. An 87 Martinique. Loved it. Loved averything about it. Riding in it, learning towakeboard, even lovedworking on it Life was good. Then in April of 06 I ran across an 89SN for cheap! I bought it to ski in while I did a refurb on the Martinique. Loved it even more...the spped, the performace...everyting about it was awesome. Except we could just fit our family and our stuff in it. Whcih one to keep? Loved them both but neither was "just right" Then tonight I bought my third CC. A 1994 one owner, 346 hour Nautique Excel Open Bow. Even had my wife's permission! I think this one is a keeper. Here it is. 
It will be hard to wait the two weeks unti I can pick it up.

John,
I guess the big quesion is how many do I have to own in order to call it a "fleet"? I'll plan on bringing the Excel when we go to lake Roy and see you guys. Tim |

Tim,
I think three is a fleet! I am at four now and people that don't understand it all think I must be nuts....he-- I was nuts before any of that happened 
It's just too damn hard any more deciding which one I want to play with!!! The excell looks fantastic! Brian.....just do it man! |

Stang, I think once you hit four it qualifies as an armada.

Well, its good to know i'm not alone.
Three boats is a bit much so I'm going to put the 89 SN up for sale this week. I'm also officially putting off completing the restoration of the 87 Martinique until winter and will sell it in the spring. For now I'm going to see how much boat time our family can get in before it gets too cold. Stang...Wow! 4 CCs is that the North American record? Tim |

Stang, I miss Reidp too; he is the one that put me onto my boat. Where are you Reid?
Stang, I know there are a few Bass Nautiques out there, but I don't know about the jet ski. I say you have to wait on that until CC makes one. Chuck |

Guys: I have e-mailed to ReidP lately. No answer. Hope all is ok. He used to be here alot and was a great addition to this site. He has turned lots of guys on to the boats in addition to owning 5 or 6 himself.
Lake; Sent ya a personal e-mail. john |
