2009 CCF Special Edition 196

The bow stripe is going to be interesting to install. The bow ribs follow a wave formation and may cause some conflict. Any thoughts on other ideas?

The mock up appears to be more of an apricot colour than the actual hull that is definately orange.

So the contrast between the blue or white is not represented as it actually will be on the hull.

I think the boot stripe is a must but in the classic waterline position.

I'm starting to sway to the white deck & boot stripe but separated from the orange with the blue pin. It matches the interior theme nicely.

The contours in the bow deck may be a challenge with the GT stripe may have to apply the vinyl and see how it looks on the actual deck before deciding if it fits the shape.

I assume the 76 graphics are still out of the question?. One last try before I give it up.

I liked 79's idea. Any chance of a mock up?

"not sure about the boot stripe, but what about modifying it a little and incorperating the 70's style, be it smaller scale though, but that style with the CCF logo as part of it."

Dave Hendricks send me five more photos from the end of the day yesterday.

Here are a couple of them:



There is also a great shot of the bow that shows the bow ribs. This will be a little bit of a challenge but I still think it's possible. I plan to have several versions of the deck stipes and lots of extra material created to allow for trial and error.

I've asked Reid if he could supply the measurments from his Mustang he brought to Green Lake which has both the deck racing stripe and the boot stripe.

Centered deck stripes would be easier but I'm not sure it still look like a CC. I'll play with the mockup and see but I'm affraid it would resemble another boat too much.

Check out all the new photos

Whats that "oval black thingy" in the exhaust pipe!?!!

We want CCF retro... we want NOISE!!!!

Maybe Dave can stay late some night and deep six that!

The black plastic covers are, in fact, the GPS antennas. No walk-through windshield on this order. I do really like mine on my '94 but we decided to keep that aspect of the boat retro. Plus I wanted to keep the deck clear.

Looks awesome. Keith has to have the biggest grin watching this come together.

Forgot about the boot top. There were various stipe designs used back in the 60s-70's. The one it appears we've been most suggesting is the one used from about 71-75 or so. It actually starts out a 2" at the stern and tapered to about 1" at the bow stem. On these hulls it was more of an accent strip than a waterline stripe/boot top stripe as it was several inches higher and followed the hard line of the chine up towards the bow, and not the actual water level. Older boats, such as the Cudas, Mustangs, and esp the Classics, had stripes which were truer water stripes. Just an observation and a few samples.

Thanks Reid! I do like the idea of the boot stripe being an accent rather than a water line marker. At this point, we'll have several made up and see how they look. We(Adirondack Marine) will have about four weeks to play with it before the unveal at the Northeast Reunion on September 12th.

1st post here....had to jump in with a comment about how nice the boat looks. I really like the interior. Looking forward to seeing more as it progresses.

Keith,

Wow, the boat is really coming together… The interior looks fantastic with the CCF logos on the seats.

Do you know if Dave will provide shots of them water testing the boat? Or maybe a short video clip...

Kyle

It was a very good decision to do away with the orange striping in the interior. The end result is very clean, and provides enough accent to the boat. BKH

Keith,

Man that thing is cool! Cant believe how quickly its coming together!

Gotta ask...dont know if its in the post somewhere, but how long ago did the idea start to build a CCF boat? ...when did the build order become a fact .. and,who's idea was the CCF boat?

Steve,
The idea was one that I had back in April. It started coming to together with Ken Reynolds' (Adirondack Marine) support of the Northeast Reunion. The order for the boat was placed July 8th. Since then, Dave Hendricks has been an invaluable resource during production - providing build recommendations, checking in on the boat build and sending photo updates.

I still can't believe it's really happening. It looks even better than I imagined!

Barring that, my goal is to get the boat in the hands of another devoted CC fan and if the boat is sold outright, Adirondack Marine will donate all proceeds to CorrectCraftFan.com and a charity of choice. -Keith

So whats the price?

409HP? Too much.... gas guzzler.

I absolutely love everything about this boat. It's definitely one of a kind. It would be great to see a press release on it. Dave, can you take some photos of this boat during the water test?

Looking forward to seeing at our NE reunion.
