With a very special thanks to Adirondack Marine, I am happy to announce that a 2009 CorrectCraftFan.com Special Edition 196 is being built - and with the support of Pleasurecraft Marine, the boat will be powered by a PCM Catanium 409!
The boat will be completed in time for its unveiling at the 2008 Northeast Reunion taking place in Lake George, NY on September 12-14. We also have the unique opportunity to document the boat build here on CorrectCraftFan.com. To learn more and to see pictures from the first two days of the boat's build visit: www.CorrectCraftFan.com/ccfboat. A lot of time and energy has gone into making this happen. A very special thank you to Ken Reynolds of Adirondack Marine and David Hendricks of Correct Craft, Inc for all their hard work. I hope everyone enjoys watching this truly special boat being built and, if you can make it to Lake George, NY this September, have a chance to drive or ski behind it in person. -Keith |

I have only two things to say...
1) WOW AWESOME...!!!!! 2) Need to start playing on the lottery real fast!! |

- Gun control means: using BOTH hands!
- Money doesn't make one happy, but when it rains cats and dogs, it's still better to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle... |

I second that motion. I think that what you've done here Keith is well deserving of a the first CCfan limited edition boat free of charge or at least 90% off of retail.. We all know and so does Correct craft that this all wouldn't be possible without the dream and efforts that you've put forth. Thanks again for such a GREAT SITE!

That is way too cool. What a trubute to you and this site (oh yeah, and all the Knotheads that help to make it great!!) Great looking boat. Love the retro one color orange. |

That is sweet. I'd say leave off the Ski Nautique graphics completely. I think an older era set of graphics will just not look right on that boat. Leaving it plain orange is nice and clean.

I couldn't agree more! While the boat is fantastic, I think seeing the relationship between CCF.Com and CC growing and expanding is even better. I hope there is more to come. |

No side graphics looks cool, what about a couple off center stripes down the deck, perhaps some graphics on the transom?
Gotta love that 409, 409hp & 492 foot-pounds of torque, 7 footers? |

After creating the mock up with and without side graphics, I have to agree it looks really cool blank. A 'racing stripe' on the deck is an idea I had as well. Would you guys go with a white stripe or blue?
What graphics would everyone like on the transom? -Keith |

I think if it said:
CORRECT CRAFT COMPETITION TOW BOAT on the back like the 70's rigs that would be sweet. Definitely a white racing stripe rather than blue. I also think a raised plastic/chrome "Correct Craft" emblem on the rear quarter by the other decals would be a nice touch, just like the 70's rigs. |

Right now, only one boat has been ordered. If there is additional interest, others may be made but right now there is just the one. -Keith |

keith this is an awesome idea.
I think it needs the 80's SKI NAUTIQUE on the sides, I see this as a new boat with all the old school nautis touches, such as the stern decals, teak platform and step pads and chrome logos on the rear quarter or at least chromed decals. As for myself I'd have gone with a white top with an orange stripe. |

Awesome idea. Probably too late now that the hull is out of the mold. |

Blue deck stripe all the way, that was my only comment out of the gate but since I saw the deck already in the mold I didnt want to nit pick. But man I love deck stripes, I have a feeling unless a Fan buys this boat I am going to spend a lot of time hunting it down about 15-20 years from now.

If by true duals you mean exhaust then that is not possible with the 409 and the cat options, it is a heavily tooled exhaust system

Well, I for one am going to hope that this Special Edition CCF Nautique ends up in the right hand... As in Keith's right hand on the throttle! Lunchdog's suggestion about the white deck and orange stripe isn't bad, but I like the colored deck. I suggest the blue stripe! Kyle |

How about all orange with no racing stripe, but a white boot stripe? And all white interior, no accents. Nothing on the sides but Correct Craft on the rear quarters.
Here's one I made up back in 2003 when I was looking at new boats. What happened to the window for uploading photos? |

Dual exhaust was discussed but determined to not be an option for this boat so it will be a standard single exhaust.
Custom gel was not an option either so the stripe would be a decal anyway -- so it's not too late for that. -Keith |

Bruce, Keith didn't say he didn't say it, what he said was he didn't say he said it. |

Adirondack Marine is doing everything they can but unfortunately, the boat is still out of my price range ... 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,
I don't think you have to worry about it selling. Both Reid and Tim are going to be at Lake George. |
