The red is an IMPROVEMENT, really like it.

Awesome find. I hope the kids appreciate the work you are putting into it!

With the paperwork that was in the boat and some old listings I found on the internet it looks like it was used as collateral for a used car business that went under. It looks like he tried to sell it for about a year or so then the bank must have taken it. It was owned by a bank when it was auctioned.

When outgo exceeds income, upkeep will be your downfall.

Got the interior back in. We decided to go with red panels instead of black. I think it looks pretty good. Time for a water test.

According to the assorted beer cans I found it was last used in 2018. Looks like it was taken care of before it hit the auctions. Should be looking good in no time.

Good looking rig. I've bought 2 AZ Nautiques over the years and with a little elbow grease they turned out great.

Unfortunately one of our Correct Craft family fell on hard times and his boat was repo'ed. It has been sitting around various Arizona vehicle auctions for over a year. Luckily it fell into the right hands. '99 Pro Air GT40 with 556 hrs and an upgraded tower. It's pretty dirty and sun damaged from being outside but it should clean up pretty well. Didn't have any keys so I bought a new ignition and interestingly enough the new key worked in the old ignition switch. Engine fired right up. Appears to be mechanically/electrically sound. Pulled the interior this morning which wasn't terrible considering what it has been through but since the engine etc.. look good might as well redo it. It belongs to my daughter and her boyfriend but I took over the task of getting it lake ready for them.
