The helm shown in the pics is TILT, when it was offered is a mute point. I have told Chopper I have the parts to complete his tilt feature............

I thought my 92BFN had a tilt wheel. Maybe a late model 92.

No- tilt wheel didnt become an option until '93. You may be able to retrofit, though.

Hey Seb,
unless the dash is up under the bow out of sight, it's a gonner.

Chris there are lots of variables, mostly concerning shipping method.

Chopper, now I know who got that boat... I was following up on this one for a buddy of mine here who was also intrested.
Good to see it found a home in the CCFan family

no big deal to convert to ei and dizzy. At least you dont have the expense of buying a carb to replace the throttle body, like I did. Best of luck.

Chopper, we have a 93 sport with/had the Protech system on it over here in NZ. It was the coil packs that seemed to go on us. After a couple of years and some frustraing times we have just upgraded to a MSD dizzy. Best thing we have ever done.

Question 1 - Engine

Engine is Protec ignition with carb induction. I was under the impression that it was the throttle body induction that gave problems.?

Is that correct or is it the ignition / dizzy / coil pacs that are the problem.?

Yeah I got some additional pics + the larger versions of the pics from ebay. Interior that is there appears to be in good condition, just dirty. Captains chair and front observer seat back & corner cussions are there. Front seat base cussion is missing. There is no rear seat at all, but it appears that there never was one originally. There are no holes or clips, plus there is a big "Correct Craft Inc" decal on the inside above the tank. Possibly a lower spec'd interior.?

Exterior looks reasonably good also. A few minor scratches. Hull isn't too oxidized & may only need cut / polish work

Trailer appears to be very good with new tires.

Hey guys,
Some of you already know, but picked up the 1991 Ski Nautique below on ebay on Saturday. It has now started it's long jerney down under tonight.

I haven't seen it in person, I do know it's be a bit of a project, & but it actually doesn't look too bad. Just have to track down all the bits & pieces that have been taken off it.!
