Need parts for 71 promo Nautique

Damn, Paul! You're not kidding around.

It's going to look great with new vinyl on the floor.

Chris....Not really what i wanted to do.....but already 1/2 way into it now...no turning back at this point.

Steve...I'll take it! No wait...yours has foam in it too. nevermind. lol

Yikes, thats a pretty big investment (both time and money). Not fun when it hits suddenly and unexpectedly! I assume we wont be seeing the boat at GL this year then after all? Good luck and be sure to ask plenty of questions as you go!

I would be interested in seeing what your Nautalex flooring looks like. I am looking for period-correct floor covering for Correct Craft's 1961 Ski Nautique and maybe that would do. Where did you get it? I don't think I saw anything like that on the Nautalex website.

Art, sorry to confuse. Yes as Tim stated it was a signature i used when i first came on the site. I have a 63 classic that i thought at the time was a 67 Classic (boat Title read 67)but it turns out it is a 63. I ordered the Nautolex shark grey vinyl from Defender. It looks good in Jmurphs Promo.


Tim...Yes it WILL be at green Lake. i will get it done! i have been through all the stringer replacement forums and have a good idea of how to attack it. obviously it wont be as good or detailed as yours but will be structurally sound and tight! I know you probably would answer any questions i have though...right?

oh also Tim....probably wont change my signature. people know who i am and i'm good with it just the way it is.

Art...here's my classic.

Paul, no need to change your signature, but you definitely need to get your DIARIES straightened out. You can have more than one!

Hopefully youve got a decent amount of time off before GL... stringers are a pretty massive undertaking! Working primarily weekends and some weeknights, my quickest turnaround on a full structural rebuild was March to August... but the boat wasnt completely sorted out until the following spring. The number usually referenced is about 200 hrs for a re-string, though Im sure some people take longer. Our BFN was probably double that.

Art, yes the Nautolex is a non-slip material that is meant to be used on boat floors. Pretty sure Pete has it (original) on his '64 Dunphy, so its been around for a long time. It doesnt seem to attract dirt and sand too badly though- I have a much harder time keeping the fiberglass floor pans on the late 60's Mustangs looking clean.

Gary/ Tim...I won't have a problem getting it done. My dad is a VERY good carpenter and i have worked with my fair share of Fiberglass. I have been taking an extra day off the last few weekends to spend enough time on this project. It helps when you have two people on the job!! you can get a lot more acomplished that way. one in the boat taking measurments and one on the outside making cuts. The only real hard part about the job that sucks is grinding out the old fiberlass where the stringers were. Cutting the new stringers and cross members really wasn't that bad at all. I will take some pics when i go back down to my dads next weekend.

Paul, are you trying to "keep it original" or do you just want a tach that works? What engine is in the boat? Some of the earlier tachs had a module separate from the tach that controlled it and other instruments as well. What year and model boat are we working on? I think that I have a couple of different ones.
Art

OK, now I know what tach we are talking about. Give me a couple of days to have a look. Chances for an exact are pretty thin!
Art

Art.....any luck on Tach for the Promo????....thought i would bring this thread back to the top and hope for the best! i guess i could send it off and have it rebuilt...

Paul

Pauly.... I saw one on ebay today as mine doesn't work either but mine looks to be in better shape than that one. IF you send yours off to get fixed let me know as maybe we could get a 'Group Deal'....Did order a 'new' Fuel Gage' for the 72.
