1972 correct craft mustang boat for sale

Here I have a correct craft mustang 17' ski boat. I purchased it in 2007. It has A merc cruiser 302 ci v8 marine engine. Inboard design with straight shaft. Is the little brother to the ski nautique which is an 18-19 feet.

With deep regret I have decided to sell it. I began a restoration in which I do not have to the time our resources to complete. The sub flooring has been removed along with the foam. The hull has been checked for cracks and is ready for the floor to be framed in, re foamed and fiberglassed. The stringers are in tact and need a minor reinforcements glued in and glassed over. I have every piece for the boat as it was running the day I took it out of the water. The vinyl need to be redone along with the seat framing. It is all complete so that the existing wood can be used as templates. Also needs to be gel coated. Someone painted it with darker green paint. Not super smooth.

Comes with the original correct craft matching trailer circa 1971.

The engine has a marine Holley 4 barrel with dual exhaust. Sounds excellent. And is very fast. The prop is a three blade that has been reduced to limit top speed and increase thrust off the line to get the big boys up out of the water. I've had it up to 45 before the ride got to rough and scary. I used it for wake boarding and waterskiing. That's what it was designed for. Is not great in rough water. It is meant for smooth calm water. Or else it jumps out of the water as it is very light with a lot of power.

I have replaced the trailer axle with a 2500 lb axle and larger tires and rims( was 1500 lb). I used to haul it to all of the finger lakes and Alexandria bay.

I don't want to get rid of it, but I realize that someone else may have the resources to bring it back to its former glory.

$1350 boo

Sounds like a part's boat to me! wish you were closer to Florida

This one is in my neighborhood - seen it on the craigslist, seen it on the ebay... I would pay 700 because even though I am poor, cheap, and already have a 72 mustang that needs a lot of work, it is close. If the paint comes off and the gel under isnt a mess it would be worth putting together, other wise parts indeed. If anyone here wants to pay more than that for it and works out a deal I would be happy to help out as much as possible.

This one with the 60MPH as well: [QUOTE=Greenfernlawn] it is capable of 60, scary fast in a small boat. That's what it was designed for. Is not great in rough water. It is meant for smooth calm water. Or else it jumps out of the water as it is very light with a lot of power.

Ok Pete, I corrected the original posting. I was under the impression that the swim platform was an available option in th early 1970's. I now realize that when I see them on other models the are add on's and not OEM.   Also, I must have been misinformed on the speed capability. I stated that I had only reached 45mph on rough water before it got to hairy. But on calmer water it definitely would have squeezed 3-5 mph's.   My point is that the engine screams and boat hauls ass. I just wish I had $10k to go crazy and restore it to immaculate condition. Wish I could see it in the water again .....
