Chris, Im guessing its http://stockton.craigslist.org/bod/2797012542.html - this boat.
Very cool boat- mostly original, including the OMC 454, and a good bit of the interior. One of the few '79's Ive seen that does not have the "Bare Foot" lettering on the side- feet only. 
If this is in fact the boat in question, then Id leave it as-is for the time being... it looks pretty good! When the time comes, then check out the '77 Ski Nautique that Jeff Toro did a few years ago: http://correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13844&PN=1&title=77-graphics-resto - '77 graphics resto http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14167 - '77 graphics resto update For now, just enjoy the boat... any used boat this age will require some amount of work. Id get it out on the water and play with it for a while before committing to a full cosmetic update! Oh, and if and when you do decide to "update" the boat, I would highly encourage you to keep it original... that boat is a great looking survivor, and very cool! Our '79 needs the graphics repainted worse than yours does:  ------------- |
