Great to see Billy as the "caretaker" of this boat,nothing sadder than it sitting in a museum.

Bruce,
I'm assuming you mean the "towel bars". Of course they they will stay - they are original!!

I didn't want to call them that Pete, but that is what they look like, and knowing Correct Craft, what they probably are.

Bruce,
Early on looking at the Dart, I really started to get the feeling that CC was going after some of the Chris Racing Runabout market with this boat. Just as the Chris's RR's were available painted ether in red and white, blue and white or varnished the Darts were painted or varnished too. The Chris RR's had the "towel bars" on them (as well as other models) so CC followed with the same!!

Billy,
Black or silver tower? What the heck you thinking?

Youve got a classic woody there.... everyone knows you should use treated 4x4s!

Chris, just goes to show if you polish a turd long enough it may just shine. Yes that is the white one that came with the boat.
A lot of prep work and some high dollar paint will work wonders on anything.
My State Trooper bud just came by to stamp it as a homemade to lessen the paper work trail that was created by a simple transfer from Florida to Lousiana.
Got a call from the Plater, parts will be shipped Monday. Then comes the "FUN" part.I have a need to keep busy on some type of resto project in my shop, the best part of the whole process is that final "PUNCH LIST"
Now to find something to do after this one is complete,I have a verbal on the Atom I went to Orlando to buy.Maybe I need two WOODYS...........Boat dr

Must be nice to be able to work only on one's own toy and not a customers project!
