Don't make us mad. You won't like us when we're mad.

Ha, Im pretty sure skiers of all types should stick together. Its the inconsiderate cruisers and jet skis that are the problem!

I will bite.

You are at the lake.

Looks great in these pictures.

Congrats,

Donald

Eric,

Welcome back to Correct Craft ownership. Looks exactly like my boat with the colors reversed. The interior looks good from what I can see. Pop a nice 540 on her and you're golden. How's the 351 feel? I can actually see the reflection of Tim's rocky driveway on your hull. Not so bad.

Not too many interesting details about this boat.

All stock except theres a different acme prop on there with some nicks and such. Ill be swapping it for a 542 soon. Started right up on a fake-a-lake which means that it starts and runs...we will see if its a real winner when I get it out on the lake and it shifts, doesn't leak, backfire, throw a rod through the block, etc.

Theres a lot of spider cracks and my speculation is it spent most of its life sitting in the water vs on a lift or trailer.

No idea how many owners shes had.

Floors and stringers seem decent. Theyre all ticking time bombs so its a matter of how long before it falls apart. No soft spots in the floor, floors still attached to the hull with no separation.

Interiors not perfect but a lot better than my last 86. Carpets OK at best.

As long as the lake test checks out well, Ill consider this boat a good deal.

More pictures will come after I wetsand her down

You know the type, Mike- the wally in the I/O doing donuts in the middle of the lake, or cutting you off when youre pulling a skier. Must be the "jet ski" mentality!

Eric, the boat looks good- and Im sure you'll have it shining in no time!

Looks great! You going to have it back up at Tim's for next weekend?

I started some wetsanding on the boat tonight. The 10 foot section came up nicely, the spider cracks didn't "disappear" as much as I had hoped they would.

Tim- I know we talked this weekend about spider cracks. What grit did you go to in order to get them to fade.

Cool, thanks Tim. 320 got it smooth and got rid of the oxidation.

Looking good there. Looks like you are enjoying the new quite well..

AHH SPAM!! Eric,
Your pics are like deja vu, That is what I have been doing the last two weeks. I wet sanded for days and then started using the yachtbrite rubbing compound it worked really well. The next step is their gelcoat polish. Its not supposed to be a wax but a polish sealer. Do you think it would be beneficial or harmful to wax over that polish? Here is a before and after the compound, it worked really well.

I used this bad boy with a 500 grit foam pad for the wet sanding. http://www.festoolusa.com/products/rotex-sanders/ro-150-feq-rotex-sander-571810.html
Also I took all my decals off becuase I wanted to replace them and thought this would be a good opportunity to do the best job by them not being in the way
