1983 Correct Craft "2001 Ski Nautique" with tan canvas cover and trailer.

With just over 430 hours this boat is a great low hours value and awesome ski & wakeboarding machine.

All lights and guages work perfectly, including the dual speedos, automatic electronic bilge pump, navigation lights, blower and horn. A cassette/stereo has been added under the dash and speakers mounted in the boat. The seating and surfaces have been restored. The hull is in great shape, too!

I believe the engine is a Ford Cleveland 351 Marine v8 with the 1:1 direct drive transmission. The engine is low hours and has had the oil changed frequently. It sounds great, like a throaty classic motor boat. The prop is in great condition. The gelcoat was resurfaced three summers ago. And with a little oil, the teak looks new. The stringers seem to be fine. The deck of the boat is great too.

The trailer is included and has relatively new tires. The lights work on the trailer and it is the original correct craft trailer and works great. I just installed a new front crank/swivel wheel on the front of the trailer. I picked it up from storage Friday evening and drove it to Farmington. The trailer and lights worked great.

I also have all the original documents and manuals from Correct Craft on this boat.

The driver’s seat swivels, but it is the original vinyl and is dried and splitting at the seam. You could recover it, or just sit on a towel or square life preserver cushion.

The boat and trailer are a great bargain. This boat could remain as is, or could be tricked out as a retro wake boarder (which is what I was planning on doing with it). All you would need is a tower and a phat sack and this babe would throw out waves that curl like they are approaching Maui while pulling two boarders out of the water.

Included in the purchase: Competition Ski boat, trailer, all original documents, canvas cover (needs an eyelet repaired, two poles, stern light, correct craft key chain, paddle, life jacket, fire extinguisher, anchor, ski rope.
