I had it made locally. Fast signs. I am having trouble hearing back from Al Thomas. I know he was very sick. Do you know any other good options for the hull side graphics. IMO mine are not good enough to replicate good enough without a lot of work.

A little progress update. Went with vinyl at least for the moment on the transom to get the lines laid out for the sides. Ladder back, Side stickers, exhaust riser and fixed Correct Craft Emblem.
I am in touch with Al Thomas and hull side graphics coming next!      |

I am going to go back to full original, Red lettering and blue accent. I sure wish I could find some stencils, it looks like one side is markedly lower than the other and it is going to be tough, or impossible to match the transom stripes on one side as it sits....The fun of it all.
The little boy in the picture is now almost 40 years old. Fun times.

Looks great. The interior looks very nice in the pics. Are you going to put the additional red stripe back on the hull sides?

I know several of you were wanting more pics.
I am finally getting to tinkering with her properly. I replaced the battery a couple weeks ago, got her fired up and took her for a quick spin. Thought I had an exhaust leak, turned out to be a hole in the riser. Ran ok but, but appeared to be starving for fuel at speed. Checked the vent, cleaned the anti-siphon valve, replaced the riser, did a little painting on the manifolds, changed the impeller, painted the pump bracket, pump and pulley. Fixed a crack in the fiberglass elbow at the riser. I removed the swim ladder, made new teak steps and I am prepping the transom for graphics. Below are some more pics for your browsing pleasure. More to come |

So, did you find the Airguides you need ?
I also have a '74. I might consider selling my original pair of Airguides. They both have new white faceplates. The decal that Keno mentioned "1925-1975" ??? |

Should be longer stripes on either side of national tow boat.
Reusable to about 20 times i think they said about the 10 mil mylar. Paint your boat, epoxy the garage floor, paint it on the man cave walls, paint your neighbors van, paint the middle of an intersection, slap it up on a bridge overpass, on the glass doors of city hall, dumpsters, trains, semi trucks,see where i'm going with this ?

Than you so much.

Heres what i got on paint and transom layout.
On the sides, the measurement is 9 1/4 inches from hull to bottom of stripe at the transom.(at least on mine) You see i don't have the elevations for the transom but that was before another member sent the transom pdf. Someon has this era hull and a tape measure, maybe they could post elevation of and spacing between lines 1&2 on the transom, Same thing with the spacing on a 2 stripe boat (betcha they had some sort of template and the spacing is the same between the top and bottom stripes on the 2 and 3 stripe boats with the middle shadow stripe being an option or something, that would make that spacing approx 3/4 inch)  |

Thank you, I will try and sort it out and talk again. Yes, extremely similar. Mine does not have the deck stripe or I would have thought it was it, plus mine has a ladder.
Do you have the measurement from the rear corners to the bottom of the lower stripe?

I made some notes of the stripes from the sides of my boat in hopes it would help on figuring out the transom stripes. However it was a 3 stripe top shadow and bottom,
*they ran same width and spacing (approx) until the windshield (approx) then they tapered to a point*
I edited this last sentance after looking thru some pictures on my phone Edit in; the red and blue stripes are shaped and tapered very similar if not exactly as they were on mine minus the shadow stripe. the transom stripes are longer due to there being less letters, and the stripes wrap around the corners.
Stripe thickness and spacing as follows; top stripe 2 inch, 1/8 space, shadow stripe 3/8, 3/16 space, bottom stripe1 inch. But i think you mentioned originally yours was a 2 stripe boat red and blue. Luckily in the reference section there is a picture of that boat with national tow boat on the transom. Who knows maybe the ole man's boat was used in the brochure and theres a picture of now your boat when it was new. That's a triple whammy : originally the ole man's boat, & the brochure boat, that pulled the nationals   |

I found a stencil maker who can cut stencils up to 92 x 44 inches.
I sent them a picture and a pdf image with dimensions for the transom. Should hear back tomorrow, maybe have a proof by the end of the week. The stencil will be 10 mil mylar and reusable Only thing i need is the distance between line 1 and line 2 on the transom looks like 2 1/4 -2 1/2 inches anyone have a ski nautique and a tape measure i would greatly appreciate it. Wetset can you post a transom pic

If you click on the link below, on page 6 you'll see some names that could be contacted about buying one(or 2) of those white face speedometers Whether they're for sale or not probably depends on what somebody AKA you, wants to pay  |
