82 2001 interior project.

79 is just busting your balls cause your new.You have a Correct Craft so your a friend in my book.This will be my 3rd year with the 82 & it has never given my any trouble besides the starter relay. Great boat , great wake. Dan

To this!!

UPDATE******

Well I have the carpet in and it looks great. There is a couple spots under the bow that look under par, but the seat will cover it. I am extremly satisfied with the job and cant wait to get out on the lake. Due to money reasons and keeping it close to stock thanks to the wise words of 79 i am recovering the seats.once that is done i will upload the finished product
!!

Your carpet job is looking good! How did you do the carpet where the floor meets the sides? Did you just butt the side to the floor? I am getting ready to one & trying to decide how it will look best.

I will be updating the interior once the carpet is done. I understand the "original look", but i want to enjoy my boat in my own taste. I really never plan to sell it but pass it down. Every thing u gentlemen have said is very true and i appreciate all of it...

same reason I bought my 78 martinique. but most have not tried to board behind one of these, since the BFN and Ski nautiques were far more popular than the martinique.

I modded the interior to meet my specifications, and everyone who has ever seen it knows it looks great. I had a professional upholsterer redo ro everything, and I redid the floors, and redsigned the front seat.

I still think a nice sanding of the gelcoat will clean it up my 78 on the outside, but the inside is really sharp 3 toned grey, then light and medium blue.


good for you for making the interior as you want it. If you do it right you don't hurt the value, but INCREASE it.

My boat went from a 4500 dollar purchase to appraised at near 9k (Covered under insurance for 9k), with 250 man hours of work, and 1200 dollars of material. Granted I got all the carpet and marine vinyl at cost, and no cost for the labor.


reminding me I need to post pics....

thanks 81...It is in a heated garage and will not be out until most likley may with ohio weather...we had a nice weather teaser then bamb stupid blizzard...

ya I woke up today to a plow..another 4 inches lastnight...just found out i need to replace my steering cable...talking about getting worked..the cables like 350!!!

82wake, the 82-90 cable isnt cheap, but that price still sounds high. The correct cable is available at White Lake for $275 (before the discount).

As of a year ago, SkiDIM didnt sell Correct Craft steering cables. I dont see anything on their website that indicates theyre carrying them now. Standard cables have shorter throws so if theyre installed in a CC, you compromise the turning radius.

these are the cheapest Ive found

from white lake marine in NC. The 82-90 is a correct craft only 17.5' cable. Ive got to replace mine as well still trying to save up coin because these aint cheap.

you need to get some epoxy and gel-kote and remove those snaps. But your getting there

79,

those snaps hold my cover on though...i did notice some spiderweb cracks....how do i fix that..

Joe,

It's awesome seeing your boat getting a new lease on life, great job! Reminds me a bit of what I did with my first CC which was back when your boat was only a few years old!

Keep going and keep the pic's coming. BTW, I think 79' is starting to warm up to ya, it's all good, Chrissy is a good guy!!

That SN is cleaning up really well.

Best solution is to live with the snaps. I've got them really low on my Mustang and I think the cure is probably no better or maybe even worse than looking at the snaps. I don't know what people are thinking when they either put them low like that or, worse, above the rub rail.

Well once again i spent all day yesterday working on the boat.I go tthe old registration numbers off and the topside waxed...


Just filling a knick..




Goodbye old numbers....

so I made a blog of what I do to the boat...its www.ladyofthewake.com
