Boat Dr’s new toy!!

6-Volt woofers? Billy, put 2 male dogs in the boat...then run some wires...?!!?   

Chris, just goes to show if you polish a turd long enough it may just shine. Yes that is the white one that came with the boat.
A lot of prep work and some high dollar paint will work wonders on anything.
My State Trooper bud just came by to stamp it as a homemade to lessen the paper work trail that was created by a simple transfer from Florida to Lousiana.
Got a call from the Plater, parts will be shipped Monday. Then comes the "FUN" part.I have a need to keep busy on some type of resto project in my shop, the best part of the whole process is that final "PUNCH LIST"
Now to find something to do after this one is complete,I have a verbal on the Atom I went to Orlando to buy.Maybe I need two WOODYS...........Boat dr

I think it needs one of those reverse carbon fiber towers!! NOT!!! Doc, is that the same trailer or did you get a new one? Looks very nice!

I have a need for input on this project now, will a black or silver tower look better.Where can I find 6 volt woofers?

Bruce,
Early on looking at the Dart, I really started to get the feeling that CC was going after some of the Chris Racing Runabout market with this boat. Just as the Chris's RR's were available painted ether in red and white, blue and white or varnished the Darts were painted or varnished too. The Chris RR's had the "towel bars" on them (as well as other models) so CC followed with the same!!

Bruce,
I'm assuming you mean the "towel bars". Of course they they will stay - they are original!!

Are those handles on the hatches staying on it?

Great to see Billy as the "caretaker" of this boat,nothing sadder than it sitting in a museum.

The Dart looks awesome!!!!!

Doc, it was great catching up with you on the phone tonight. Congrats on the awesome boat, It is looking Great!!

Mike , glad to see you surfaced. This boat was bought while we were in Orlando for the river run.
It was one of the museum boats that "WERE" going on display at CC corporate office.All that blew up and I was able to acquire title to said "1949 CorrectCraft Dart"
Had always wanted one , just did not want the RESTO Job that comes as part of the purchase price.
This one was basicly complete, all lacking was a first rate paint job,and this I am trying so hard to give the old girl.
More pics later, she is now sitting on the trailer for a trial fit.......Boat dr

Have one that came on my Atom as Well. From what I hear, they worked pretty well. Nate

Nate,
They are referred to as "siphon bailers". A common problem with them is the small vent hole on the top of the U tube can get plugged up and then they will reverse siphon if the boat is left in the water. If you get hull insurance some companies will require a hull survey and the surveyor will ask for the bailers removal or to render it non operable.

This is what Michelle (sanity) is referring too with a previous post I made.

Billy,

That's beautiful!!!

Would you want one of those?

Looking great Billy.

Looking great Doc!
