parting out barefoot nautique

Could you post some pics?

Where are you located?

never thought it would be such a hard decision to scrap one of these boats...like having to shoot an old hunting dog!!!

Dave, I sent you an email about the speedos and steering wheel. Im sure I will come up with a longer list!

originally purchased because it was bigger and I have 3 kids ...you know the senario...however it was after I got it home and really started looking that i realized just too much work to replace stringers and floor on another one and block and buff and paint and so ..on..and on. plus after 25 yrs of blissful marriage..I kinda like sleep'in in the house..if ya know what I mean! anyway thanks for looking and thanks for the interest.

Dave,

I sent you an email about the morse control. Do you still have it?

Just zipped you an email about your mirror with the black knobs.

James, youre looking for a somewhat rare bird. The big block motorbox is wider than the small block version, so that really limits your choices. The other problem is that most big blocks came in Barefoot Nautiques, and because of the deep-v hull, the engines sat much lower in those- so the motorboxes werent as tall. My guess is that to find a fiberglass box that would work without modification, you would need to stumble across a big block Ski Nautique version (which they made in the 80's).

What CC did in the 60's to fit over the big blocks (and other wide motors, like Chrysler small blocks) was to build one out of wood. That would probably be your best bet! Here are a few 1st gen Ski Nautiques with the wood box:

i think it's a 1983 from the color scheme and the trailer ...not totally sure - i bought it from a storage yard at a salvage sale and no title was needed.

i agree with benj. the motor box looks way to low from a profile shot to cover up even the 302 in my stang-17. i will measure if you want but i can't ship it no time to build the ark it will require to arrive alive.
