Have a 79 SN that needs some upkeep. Need to know about driver and spotter seats and the engine cover. Whats in the boat now looks home made, as in nothing at all like my 83. Pics would be appreaciated and where to find parts-seats and motor cover. Looked in parts for sale but everything is pretty old. Thanks JT |

79 has very simple seats, the pass seat is held in place by 4 knobs you screw down. I was able to take the knobs off lift the seat and spin it around for front veiw when we took it for a cruise. I think the two bars that held both the upper and lower cushions were aluminum and about 2" wide. It has been nearly 30 years since I sold mine but I did install new seat covers and built new wood for my seats while I owned it. The original sales brochures are available on this site, I think you could find a picture there. ------------- |

JT You could do a search on CCF titled "seats" and end up with some pictures of the aluminum framework that's probably a lot like your 83. Speaking of the 83, I stumbled into the thread in the link and said to myself.............."these seats have JT written all over them"  They'll match your engine http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16570&title=seat-rebuild" rel="nofollow - link |

Great I already have a set, so good to go on the seats. At place I was told that the motor cover I have in the 79 is actually from a 93; has one for a 79 I will trade for. Might get the 79 back in the water before my 83
|
Posted By: MrMcD
Date Posted: May-05-2019 at 3:21pm
|
If memory serves me I think the 93 box is smaller and gives you more room in the boat to walk around? The early box was exactly that, a large pretty much rectangular box. I would set them side by side or do some comparisons before spending money to go back to original unless being original is your goal. ------------- |
Posted By: jterr
Date Posted: May-05-2019 at 6:40pm
Well after examination of the "93" box it is a homemade one out of wood and foam  .Will have to get the original. Also will be looking for the fiberglas base for drivers seat if anyone knows where one could be found. Set the one out of the 83 and fits . |

Here is a pic of my 79? I had back in the 80's. Why does it have a bar going across the rear deck and the 2 red things?

Posted By: 8122pbrainard
Date Posted: May-07-2019 at 12:40pm

John, The bar is typically called a clearance bar. It's there so a ski rope won't get caught on anything on the aft deck like the lifting ring, vents or stern nav light base. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

The boat in the picture with a clearance bar and a bunch of female company in it isn't a 79. Looks a lot like a 76 or so |

Ken You know you could be right. When I bought the boat it was redone as in the picture, new paint, newer graphics... Been so loong ago and my memory ain't so good. Thanks JT |

Date Posted: May-07-2019 at 1:14pm
Emphasis on the “or so”... looks like a 77 to me. 76 should have had a natural windshield. 78 got the molded aft deck vents. 79 got the molded front vent. |

Now I’m rethinking... did the SN get the black screen a year earlier than the other models? Or did some go out the door with each style? Trying to recall if I’ve seen the vented natural screen on the SN (I know this was the case for the Tique). |

| The 76 I had in my garage had a bright windshield and bright rubrail. Original family still owned it. |
Posted By: KENO
Date Posted: May-07-2019 at 4:37pm
The one in my garage was original too having bought it from a friend when it was a year old and having spent a fair amount of time in it that first year before buying it You guys might want to also figure out what year (or so) the clearance bar disappeared from the SN (not other models, just the SN) with a redesign of the rear deck that also changed the ladder shape at the top By the way, the 76 brochure just might say something under "standard equipment" I wouldn't doubt that there were some leftover windshields from 75 that they had to use, it was during their "lean years" but it's real easy to find the black versions and maybe there's a unicorn or 2 out there hiding in Zach's garage. |

My 78 had the same hood scoop shown in the pic as a 79, in the rear my 78 did not have the bar and the vents were like the 79 pictured. My 78 had the black windshield with the vents. Those vents were great on 100 degree ski days, we used them all the time. I see a very nice 1978 for sale on this forum, asking 8,000 with new stringers, cover and interior with 500 hours. When you look at the amount of work and expense bringing one back from the dead that looks like a really great deal to me. ------------- |

Definitely a 76 in that picture. 77 got molded deck. A few early 76’s got the non vented 75 silver windshield along with rounded bucket drivers seat and the painted black dash instead of black gel, such as mine. Only seen 2 or 3 76’s like that. When did the black shadowing disappear on the letters and stripes to be replaced with black outline, 77 or 78? ------------- Please support The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation 1976 Ski Nautique 351 Escort 1993 Ski Nautique purple and black 351 HO PCM |

All the 76 talk is about the boat you say you owned in the 80's in this picture It wasn't a 79, it was a 76 (or so)
The boat you have now has the 79 style hood scoop and windshield, but you can make Pete happy by looking at the HIN number on what you have now and figuring out that it's a 79 (or so) with some non original lettering among other things |

Here's the 79 (or so) that JT has now based on the hood scoop, windshield and rear deck complete with lots of non originality throughout. Oh, the horror of it all

By the way, the 2 red things were for air to exit the bilge area, the blower was mounted under one of them blowing air out and the other just had ducting from the bilge area up to the scoop or vent or whatever you want to call it. The 79 had one big louver in the middle of the rear deck that was done a couple years (or so) earlier. |

John, At the bottom of the pylon, there's a 1" pin that fit's into a socket that's glassed into the keel. Then at the sole (floor) level the pylon should have a square plate welded to it. This plate is bolted to the floor and under it a 2x that spans the port and starboard main stringers. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

John, You'll notice there's a height difference in the main stringers forward of the engine. This is for a plywood base to give the seat brackets something to screw to. The difference should be 3/4". Aft of the ply, the sole would be glass over the foam if you are going back to foaming. Are you going foam or not? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Is the floor 1 piece of plywood 3/4" and then another piece under that where the pylon goes between the stringers? And yes will be using the foam. Thanks JT |

I don't think you have that quite right They were called vents a couple times in the thread and that's what they are.Like you said in your vapor lock thread, one is the outlet vent for the blower but the other is also an outlet vent for air from the bilge area with no blower just a hose attached to it running down low in the bilge area behind the tank. The inlet to the bilge area is the front hood scoop, through some ducting to the bilge area up forward of the driver's feet under the front deck. |

No Problem. But I was thinking I redid a 79 back in the late 80's but it was a 76 that I did as a 79(graphics only); now I have a 79 that I'm just redoing till I get my 83 up and running. There that should clear it up

| The problem I'm having is the carpet is bunching up (on the side where it curves back towards bow); no place for it to lay flat. Should I maybe just make a cut-don't really want a seam but if that is what it takes. |

Started on the outside by taking off those hideous graphics. While removing also removed what looks to be paint. I guess the PO painted the damn thing now not sure what to do I'll see if a photo will help show...... Suggestions

Anyone on here ??? I'll try another question. Could someone take me a closeup picture of the decals on the rear sides; I want to try and make my own decals. Most I see on sight are not straight on or big enough to work with. Save as jpegs.. Thanks JT Got new graphics on yesterday after I took a razor blade and peeled/sliced all that bad paint job off. Looking like a 79 should look. Will post some pics when it quits raining... |

Here's some help. The top two rows are not my boat so I can't attest to 100% original, but the front seats are the right style (unsure about the piping) and sure looks nice.. The lower row is my interior (sad I know). I dont have rips, so going to give the SEM treatment a go... for a season at least. Anyone used that product? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzlJac7yFOg. Reupholstery & re-carpet down the line once mechanical is situated. Here's the pics - hope it helps:)  ------------- '79 Skitique - first boat |
