Dave, just in case it wasnt clear, the Art referenced earlier was the previous owner, not Art Cozier.

Me too!! I wonder if Western Correct Craft did the mods?? To me, it would be more logical than the factory. All the regional's did the set ups anyway! |

You guys are a tough crowd. So, if one of the warehouses did it, wouldn't it be original from Correct Craft? Weren't some of Orange Crush's final touch's put on at Adirondack Marine?

Depends what the definition of "is" is Bruce My thoughts were the same as Pete's too. The more I see these including that beater one that Workman has,with the wrong tach, the more I like them.The red,white and blue just seem right. I like the story behind them too.

Gary, I like them too, although I prefer the standard issue like Steve's "beater". This is an interesting story, though.
My brothers and I had a 1976 Riviera Cruiser Stars and Stripe Bicentenial Model with red, white and blue pom poms. No pictures, so I guess it never happened which is alright by me. |

Bruce, Dealers have always had the option of finishing off new boats from the factory. If they didn't opt to do it, then the regional's did it before they were shut down. Even some gel blemishes and shipping damage was handled after the factory. |

Cool boat. I will say the ski nautique logo on the picture from 1975 is different than the current pic. Look at bottom of S compared to current. The 1975 pic look like right font. Also the blue on current pic is different.. so it looks like stripe is original and logo is new..

Wow!!! This journey has been fun. Totally unexpected, but FUN
You guys can really pick out the small details. I saw the comment about windshield color being different between the 1975 picture and present. That triggered a memory that there was some mention of windshield in the handwritten maintenance log. I pulled the log and there in the 11-1-78 entry it says, "Died windshield frame". So I can confirm the copper color on windshield was an owner change. It appears to me from inspection that frame color change was done by having the aluminum anodized. It was done well as I would have never guessed it had been done by looking at it. So there's two confirmed changes from factory delivered: 1) swim platform, and 2) windshield frame color. I also saw comment about speedos in 1975 picture didn't look black. When I look at the 1975 picture they certainly don't look white to me. It looks like Art's hand resting on top of steering wheel is covering them. It's not definitive what color they are but I do believe Art and Jerry when they say the speedos and other instruments are factory original. Well, I do appreciate all the enthusiasm and banter you all are contributing. I too am anxiously waiting to see what the build records contain. |

Joel,
Looks like the logo was repainted... and possibly the black shadowing was added. Did Art mention any of this? |
