WANTED: CORRECT CRAFT script emblems..

I also have a 1978 Correct craft in need of the plastic nameplates. I contacted Correct Craft and got permission to reproduce these nameplates. I am now in the process of making a mold to produce the 1978 plates same as the originals. I plan on making about 50 sets. They will be available about the first week of October. Price $135.00/set. If you are interested my e-mail address is rumstan@aol.com

Assume you have tried all the CC regional Midwest, SECC, NECC ..... to see if they still had some laying around??

Been half-heartedly looking for these for the '78 now that I know the ones on it are not original, so far no luck. BUT, I did see a pair on the lake yesterday that would pass for brand new. Now I just need a moonless night, a battery drill with a silencer, a lookout or 2 and a driver for the get-a-way car (boat) and those babies are mine!

Seriously, I've got your email address and will let you know if I find anything.

According to the directions I was given, that's the place. Darn it anyway. I get down that way often enough I just might swing by and see what they have. Thanks for the info.

kenny g, I sure hope this isn't the same guy. I was getting my hopes up that I might find some goodies! Ain't that the way things go? Think ya gotta gold mine and it turns out to be iron pyrite! Oh well.

Just heard about a guy in Indianapolis that parts out old boats. (mostly ski boats and woodies) Supposedly has all sorts of 'rare' stuff. As soon as I found out more, I'll post the info.

Nautiquefanatic and wino,

The badges you are showing are similar but different than the ones on my '75 Southwind, so there have definitely been several tools over the years. I think I spoke with Bruce? at Midwest Correct Craft and he said the white plastic were no longer available.

nautiquefanatic a little more back-up for ya! These are on my '79 Southwind, believed to be original and are definitely plastic.



As you can see I'm also in need of one, so let me know if you are able to locate any.
Thanks
TP

Still needing these script emblems!!!!!! the white and black ones. either one or two, broken or not broken!
pcarpenter2@carolina.rr.com

For what it's worth. I checked with the sister-in-law.

Our '78 has been owned by either my wife or her sister since the day it was pulled out of the lot at Midwest Correct Craft over on Orland Road, so we know its complete history.

The stern quarter emblems were the white/black type as described above. She had them replaced with the black plastic with chrome colored letters about 10 years ago. Seems as though she managed to put the same 'beauty mark' on the new set. . . . .

THANK YOU Kevin's '79 !!!!!!! i was beginning to need some back up!

79nautique.....i am not disputing what you may or may not have. but i am disagreeing with what you are saying came on the boats. all the boats you see in "diaries" from the late 70's that YOU think have chrome and black letters,,,,,,,,,,you may be right!!! BUT, they have REPLACED what came on them, which was WHITE with BLACK letters. the scripts you can still buy are plastic, chrome color and black letters.....i have one of those on my refrigerator! they are a dime a dozen.

Again, WANTED, two, or even ONE white with black letters Script CORRECT CRAFT logo emblem for the sides of late 70's Nautique!!!!!!!

I've been reading this topic with interest for several days and wanted to see where it went. I have owned a '74 Ski Nautique, a '74 Mustang 17, a '92 Ski Nautique and currently a '79 Ski Nautique. My twin brother has owned a '79 Ski Tique, a '79 Ski Nautique, and a '92 Ski Nautique. I know that all of the boats we have owned that were made in the mid to late seventies had white plastic emblems with black letters. I had to replace the emblems on my current '79 with the newer sytle (80 and up) black plastic with chrome letters since the original emblems were broken. You can still get the black plastic with chrome letters from Correct Craft. I would like to have some of the white emblems with black letters, but I have also been told that they are no longer being produced. I will have to agree with nautiquefanatic on this topic. I have looked a many mid to late seventies Correct Crafts and all of them that I have looked at had the white emblems with black letters (Most were broken however). I have also looked at the '79 brochure and the boats in the diary section from '76-80 as 79nautique recommended and the brochure and all of the boats that you can see the emblems on appear to have white plastic with black letters. I can say with certainty that the '79 Ski Nautique in the brochure has plastic emblems. Well thats my 2 cents worth. If anyone has any of the white emblems with black letters I would like to have buy a pair them.

When I bought my boat, which was used, they had metal script emblems on both sides one was broke and one wasn't. I talked with Dennis at Mid-west correct craft and he also said that they came with metal and you could no longer get then. There are two other 1979 Ski Nautique's and a 1975 on my lake and they all have metal script emblems.

If you look at the referance section on this website look at all the 70's brouchers and look at the '79 one then select ski nautique (1) and you will see a close up of the emblem I'm discriping which has no outline then go look at the 1980 broucher and you will see the the emblem is changed and is now outlined and much wider. I guess the metal script must be a regional item only because ever older correct craft I've ever seen in Indiana has metal script lettering on the sides and it looks exactly like the pictures on this site.

Hey '79,

I'm confused! Were yours originally metal? The '78's are an injection molded plastic with some fake chrome coloring that everybody used back then. I am positive that these are the original as one still bears the marks of the sister-in-laws first docking attempt when the boat was 2 days old.

Then again, maybe she had more than one 'docking experience' and had them both replaced. I'll have to check.

I have one white and black plastic "Correct Craft" badge from a '75 Soutwind 20. It's not perfect, but it's not broken anywhere. In my opinion its pretty brittle. I replaced mine with vinyl decals made up to match the badge. I know its not 100% resto, but it looks good. Anyway, what'll you give me for it?
