Hi, y'all. New to this site, have been lurking for a while. Just got back in the seat of another Correct Craft inboard this past October with the purchase of a 1980 Ski Nautique. Had a Hydrodyne with a Merc 115 a couple of years ago. Before that a 1970 Southwind 318 for about 5 years. Before the Southwind I had a 63 Atom Skier with. Fireball 138 Graymarine V8 for 13 years. FEELS SO GOOD TO BE BACK BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE BEST BOATS ON THE WATER! Making winter plans on Re doing some of the upholstery. Found the boat 2 miles away at a great price. Mechanically perfect.Not a vibration or rattle at any speed. Ran 49 mph with 5 people and a case of beer in it. I feel like I found my way back home after being lost on a pontoon boat for a while. LOL! I have a pic on my phone (no computer) . I could email it to somebody to post. I know how everyone likes pics to put with a name. I enjoy every one's stories and have a few myself after 50 years or so of boating. Maybe this participation will help me get thru these winter doldrums! Thanks for letting me ramble! ,,.Jay P.

Hi and Welcome Jay. If you are in need of a good, reasonable upholstery guy that is not to far from you (Martinsville) let me know and I'll hook you up with him. Duane In Indy (Brown County) |

Welcome to the site, my boat I also purchased in October is in the garage because of this white stuff.
 The Air Nautique is currently being used as a hiding location for Christmas Presents. |

I guess it does look like that, only colder and it's on top of a mountain not on a shore line. |

If you have any questions with the upholstery let me know! I own an upholstery shop in NE Indiana and do a bunch of boats every year. I may be able to point you in the right direction
