Ski Show Boats?

Did the display SN have a clear or transparent motor box ?

Can't help with the Glastron question, but there is a Sea World Skiers group page.

Paul,
     
Thanks for the compliments on the 88! I'm replacing the floor in her this spring so i'm getting anxious to get on the water! I'll bet you hated to see the 68 go...but you 83 looks immaculate! Great thread you've got going here...if you ever wander down to Iowa let me know..I'm always up for a road trip!

Hello Storm34! I like the looks of your 1988 Ski Nautique and enjoyed hearing the Mustang fire up! I guess that soon many of us will be doing that same thing with our engines! I was actually able to pick the boat up in Dubuque! The name of the marina in Dubuque was called Mid-Town. My home at the time was in Rockford, Illinois and that was as close to my house as they could get the boat! These guys at Mid-Town where just a delivery location. Mid-Town was not a Correct Craft dealer. After using the boat for the new tow boat for the Ski Broncs in 1968 I was tranfered to Minneapolis, Minnesota. The 1968 was sold to a guy that was going to use it in Northern Minnesota at a church camp in 1983. Have not heard from him since!

The Metal Flake boats are a real eye catchers! As Woody has helped to explain (these can really crack over time). Is it possible to get the cloudy haze in the clear to shine again without spending some huge dollars or a lot of time?

I love the hand written reciept, that and a handshake, the deal was cut in stone

Pauly,
Great information! Let's get some of this stuff in the Reference Section. Shoot me an email and we'll figure out the best process for getting it up there.

Thanks,
Keith

Another question for the knowledge base here, Would the red metalflake on the 1984 model be paint or would it be gelcoat?

Was it political? And you were either for or against Obama?

Pauly Great memrobellia. You mentioned one of those yellow vests A couple of years ago Art Cozier from old So East CC cleaned out one of his closets at home and gave me a bunch of old Masters jackets and other Correct Craft Fashion from over the years and low and behold I now have one of those yellow vests.

In the picture of the Sea world skiers can any one identify anybody? I can as I ski with a few of them today.
One of the skiers is Joe Aloe Remember him ? he was a regular on the Coors light Freestyle jump competion.
Good luck with your boat. one of the best things you can do is do away with the dual tension cables and install A 21st century Rack and pinion single cable system. Just use the upper hole on your clamp block mount. You will love the way it drives.
I am currently resurecting a 92 Sea World boat all the dual cable system went in the trash. amazing it stayed in the boat that long.

Here is some more information on the black, gray and gold boat that TRbenj got out of the diaries! This one was origionally purchsed by a Correct Craft dealer Louie Raven, Boat Town of Texas and was the second place winner! They let it sit out side thier dealership in the hot, hot sun. They sold it to a guy in Texas that at some point lost the rear seat! He sold the boat to go to school to a police officer in Kansas. The guy in Kansas added a bimini top and hardly used the boat. The pictures that he sent me showed the boat as having a really cloudy clear coat! Also, large cracks all over the deck at points that a hole or screw was added in the metal flake clear coat. The boat had not been well taken care of by at least one of these owners. The guy who bought the boat for around $7,000 reconitioned the trailer and listed it immediately on CCF to make a decent profit. Too bad for the boat, but really a cool idea by Correct Craft in producing some wild colors with metal flake combinations.

Sorry it took me so long to join CCF! My excuse could be that I was busy skiing and or driving my boat, but in Minnesota that really does'nt fly! I suppose that better late than never is good. It does seem strange to be a newbie after all these years of being around the product. I even worked for the first exclusive Correct Craft dealer here in Minnesota before the owner (Cal Brown) or CJ's marine had passed away a few years ago. He would have really enjoyed your site. Being around show skiing, three event, sales and service for over 40 years has really educated me on the product. Thanks for supplying the site and having me as a member!!!

Here are the photos of the Dallas boat!

i'm curious as well?!?! you seemed to be a pretty good resource for info and pics as far as i could tell.

Hollywood, why are your thoughts no longer welcome at the other site?

I'm loving all this info, too. Wicked interesting. Pauly, why did it take you until Dec. 2008 to find this site?

My brother pulled our Barracuda with a GTO.

Ah for the special story about my boat is the following.. the 1º owner was looking for a skiboat, so he went to the local dealer.. actually he acts as an intermediary of cc.. you do the import and he just helps and then collects a fee from cc so no boats on stock here....so it was almost december, he got the boat and asked how long would it take to have it shipped to Argetina.. they told him about 1 1 1/2 months... so by that time summer was at its ends... so he inquired which would be the fastest way to have it shipped. answer was by air... so it did and 10 day later boat arrived in a cargo plane...paying same price for freight as the cost of the boat itself...
So my boat is kind of special because is the only one here (in argentina) that actually got airborne...

Pauly, I am absolutely loving these old pictures- thanks for sharing! It is especially cool to see that some of these special edition CC's actually existed. It seems like half the older boats for sale have some bogus story about being a "Special Edition Promo/Seaworld/Callaway boat".

I love the vests that the drivers are wearing in the gray boats too!
