Its Correct Craft Trivia Time!

I agree with the sentiment that a little flake can make for a nice accent. Replaced my black stripes as well.

I think those boats are very cool and thought how great it would be to own a 1 of 3 boat, and even cooler that David reported it was for sale. But then I thought too bad when Woody reported in the older thread that there were problems with the gel/metal flake process, as confirmed by David with this boat. You wouldnt think such a unique boat would end up for sale in a boat yard outside of Chicago.    

Interesting little bit of trivia in that old thread about HW being banned from 2001. And he's such a nice guy over here.

I like the metal flake, but, that '83 was just a tad over the top with it. A little goes a long way. Plus, it looked like water was getting under the gel at the water line and causing it to fog pretty bad in areas. I think if just the stripe was done, that would be in good taste and not too much.

We had one custom made in 85, the metel flake stripe only 250 extra!

PAK,

CC brought back the Metal Flake in 2010', it's available as an option, not sure what the cost is.

Like the look of some Flake, replaced the black pin tape on my boat with Silver Metallic, Bling Bling!

David, where is it at, want to see it!

Doesn't the new 200 have some metal flake in the paint somewhere?

There's an 88 on PN thats got metalflake. pretty cool looking boat

sanity - Three!

MaddMarxx said he had an '85 Ski Nautique metalflake gel boat too.

Awesome, so that's the blue one? I would have guessed it was the middle/red boat based on the top pictures. Where is it?

It looks to be a special edition boat, made for the '83 Masters like this one.

Pauly Banana shared some original literature about these boats in this thread.

Did this supposedly come from the factory that way? I'm not sure I like it. The Silver Nautiques had about all the metalflake I could stomach, but to each his own.

Pete....didn't get that shot, but, I don't recall that it would have revealed any clues.

Man, that boat was "one of a kind" though. Check the gel coat scheme out.

Those weren't bunks, they were stilts!!!

'83 is correct.

Hint: If I didn't know better, I almost thought it was a bass boat, except it didn't have a 700 HP outboard on it.    

shouldnt an 83 have a three color stripe? strip looks like an 89. But it looks like an early 80s bow vent under the cover.

For one it lives on a trailer with the worlds tallest bunks.
