Which model is my 1965 Correct Craft?

Going to do some work on the boat at my father in laws and plan on getting pics of all the important numbers including hull ID, engine, etc. Will post and add to my diary once I have it.

Thanks! Was so excited I forgot to check the hull number. LOL I got the title and was excited to get that. The HIN on the title doesn't look like that. It's at my father in law's in his barn for th winter. I may ask him to check the plate. It's on the back right of the hull isn't it?

I realize an old thread. Do you have any of these left? I have the template that I got with the 1965 American Skier I just bought, but if you have some that need a home...

Also, I have the wing frames, but not the brackets that go onto the wing windows. Is there a template to get for the glass clamp (not sure of right term) that holds the window and attaches to the frame pins?


Thanks,

Greg

Here is what you are looking for. It's all that's left of mine. My boat was built in 62, AM106. Welcome to the club.

Sorry for the delay on posting fellas. Found a metal tag nailed to a stringer that's stamped AM1432. Does this mean I'm a proud owner of an American Skier? Pretty cool.   I removed the dashpad and found only the holes where the metal emblem used to be. Darn. I wish had that emblem. Any advice on obtaining one? Also the light cover on my hull light is missing. Anyone have a line on those? So much to learn as begin to bring her back to life.

Yes, put me down for a set of wing glass. I will email you and thanks!

The gauges in the dash resemble an American Skier. I'd say it's either an American Skier or a Tahoe. If you lift the engine box there may be an aluminum tag on the stringer with the serial number. It would give a good indication of what it is.

I think youre all over it Bruce- I agree. Like Larry suggested, Id pull that cushion off and see if there is an emblem on the dash... might get lucky! Otherwise the id tag on the stringer might be the only way to know for sure.

Looks like an original #2 trailer, too. Nice find!

Tell the seller about CCfan. We'll do some explaining as he needs some "60's 101" education! He must be smoking something! The deck's not even close to a SN.

Gen 1 SN deck:

super long shot, but I wonder if there is a model badge under that aftermarket cushion on the dash.

Is there a way to restore/replace the wing glass? Didn't even know that so thanks. I'm learning fast...

I will get the serial # info posted in a few days so stay tuned. I appreciate the comments fellas. Keep 'em coming. Thanks.

The 65 brochure shows a Tahoe with the helm on the port side,I wonder if this is an American Skier.I guess we won't know until he finds the serial number.

absolutely awesome!!! I would love to work on cleaning up that old boat

Good eye Bruce. I bet you are right. Very cool boat and a real rare one. I was looking at the 65 brochure. Good year. A lot of collectibles, unfortunately I doubt there are very many left. Anxious to see this one cleaned up.

That looks like a Tahoe. Post more pics. That's an interesting boat!
